After seeming like we’d never hear about it again, Lighthouse Point, located on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas is confirmed to be welcoming guests aboard select voyages on the Disney Cruise Line starting Summer 2024.

Much like Disney’s cruise ships and private island of Castaway Cay, Lighthouse Point will offer activities and areas for every age group and promises a thoughtfully-designed destination that is respectful to conservation and appreciative of local culture.

Here’s some details about the new property, courtesy of Disney.

Sustainable Development

  • Lighthouse Point will feature sweeping architecture in bright, saturated hues inspired by nature and created in partnership with local artists.
  • Curvilinear buildings will at first appear as Bahamian shells scattered along the shoreline.
  • Upon closer inspection around the entire property, guests will discover artistic expressions of the native flora and fauna of The Bahamas and the pageantry and history of Junkanoo parades.
  • References to playful folklore characters will evoke the warmth and charm of the local culture.
  • An onsite solar array will provide at least 90 percent of the destination’s electricity needs.
  • The pier was designed to avoid the need for dredging and elevated walkways will help limit impact on the landscape
