Discover Disney’s New Private Island Paradise and Hot Cruising News!
Ahoy, Disney fans! Get ready to set sail into a world of enchantment and adventure with Disney Cruise Line’s latest gem, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. Imagine stepping off the iconic Disney Magic and being greeted by pristine beaches, charming cabanas, and captivating Bahamian cultural showcases, including the festive Junkanoo. This new private island destination is a treasure trove of eco-friendly activities and delectable dining options that promise a day of magic and relaxation.
While the initial feedback is overwhelmingly positive, guests noted the nearly half-mile trek from the ship to the island’s main attractions. For those with accessibility needs or cabana bookings, the limited availability of golf carts prompted Disney to take a closer look at smoothing the arrival process. So, watch this space for updates and our full review coming soon!
The festive season is sparking strong demand for Christmas Markets cruises along Europe’s picturesque rivers. Leading the way, AmaWaterways and Viking have already opened bookings for their 2026 Christmas voyages. However, recent high water levels on rivers like the Danube have led to some last-minute changes, prompting river cruise lines, as Cruise Hive reported, to adjust itineraries by transferring guests between ships or organizing land transport to destinations.
In other cruise news, Carnival Corporation is phasing out its P&O Australia brand, absorbing its operations into the ever-growing Carnival Cruise Line, thus streamlining their robust Australian presence. Meanwhile, Princess Cruises revealed an expansive itinerary for their 2025-2026 Japan and Southeast Asia season. Also notably, a brand-new player in the Greek Isles, Neonyx, has thrown its hat into the ring with fresh, exciting itineraries.
Elsewhere in the world of luxury cruising, Crystal Cruises has moved its North American reservations team to Miami, while Abercrombie & Kent broadens their luxury expedition cruises for 2025. Seabourn is tantalizing taste buds with its newly introduced zero-proof cocktail program, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveiled gourmet dining experiences aboard Ilma, in collaboration with renowned chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina.
