During the first panel of the event, Disney revealed to us the name of their new Cruise Line Island Destination!

We know that this new island destination will be called Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! It is located on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas and will serve as a new private port for Cruise Line guests.

The first guests to get to see this new island will be those aboard the 3-night preview cruise on the Disney Magic, which will set sail on June 6th, 2024 out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Disney revealed some concept art for this new destination back in September of 2022, and then we received information about the opening season in 2024 in March. Disney explained that its teams are “Collaborating with talented artists and cultural advisors in the Bahamas to shape an experience that celebrates the natural beauty, traditions and artistry of the one-of-a-kind nation.”
