Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

When Look Out Cay and Lighthouse Point will Open

On June 6, a three-night preview cruise on the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale will offer a sneak peek of Lighthouse Point with limited access to some areas.

A seven-night inaugural sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral, Florida, on June 8, 2024 will allow guests to be among the first to this new destination at Lighthouse Point.

This new Disney Cruise Line island destination itinerary will feature two stops at Lighthouse Point and one day at Castaway Cay.

Following the inaugural voyage, Lighthouse Point will be a featured port of call on select three-, four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and the Caribbean on the Disney Magic out of Fort Lauderdale.

These itineraries will vary stops between Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay, with five special departures including both Disney Cruise Line island destinations.


Thank you so much for being so patient with us. We had a great first cruise. Your advice was spot on especially with the dining package.
