This week marks a magical milestone as Disney Cruise Line warmly welcomes its first guests to Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, the newest jewel in the Disney Cruise Line crown on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. This unparalleled destination offers a captivating mix of Bahamian culture and Disney magic, carefully woven into every element of the experience. From vibrant architecture echoing the festive spirit of Junkanoo to relaxing nature trails and pristine beaches, it’s a haven for both adventure and relaxation.
Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Cruise Line, expressed her excitement, saying, “For over 25 years, we’ve collaborated with the Bahamian community to introduce families to this enchanting island nation. With Disney Lookout Cay, we’re offering an entirely new way for our guests to experience the beauty, traditions, and artistry of The Bahamas with a dash of Disney magic.”
Visitors to Disney Lookout Cay will find immersive architectural design and local art prominently featured throughout the destination. Walt Disney Imagineering, in collaboration with Bahamian artists, has meticulously crafted venues that embody the charm and traditions of The Bahamas. The Goombay Cultural Center stands out as a vibrant hub, where families can engage with local artisans and experience the cultural “Sights and Sounds of Junkanoo” workshop.
Entertainment on the island is equally enchanting. Guests can join in “RUSH! A Junkanoo Celebration,” a lively parade led by a local Junkanoo group, or the “Disney Fun in the Sun Beach Bash,” featuring Bahamian renditions of Disney songs. Even Disney characters sport unique Bahamian-inspired outfits, perfect for photo opportunities.
For those seeking both relaxation and adventure, Lookout Cay offers a mix of family-friendly beaches and an adult-exclusive Serenity Bay, along with an exciting nature trail and water play areas. The island’s commitment to sustainability is evident, with less than 16% of the land developed and the bulk of its energy needs met through renewable sources.
Foodies will find delight in the local and international flavors available at the numerous dining options, while shoppers can purchase unique Bahamian art and Disney merchandise at island boutiques.
