Disney Cruises Owns an Island and a Beach Resort in the Bahamas

See the full list of islands and beaches owned by cruise lines

Disney Cruises owns one private island, Castaway Cay, and one private resort, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, both of which are located in the Bahamas.

Castaway Cay is a 1,000-acre, shipwreck-themed private island located off Great Abaco Island. This Island has been leased from the Bahamian government since the mid-90s, and most Disney cruise ships on Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries visit it. Disney Cruises ships dock directly at Castaway Cay and a system of trams helps guests get from the pier to the three main beaches and the attractions, such as slides and the game pavilion among many others. Guests can rent snorkel gear, tubes, floats, SUPS, kayaks, etc. to have an exciting afternoon in the sun, or they can walk the many paved trails and enjoy the island in a more peaceful way. Cabanas are available for rent, and guests who prefer to be guided during their time on the island can book excursions. Three food venues serve complimentary BBQ fare, soft drinks, and ice cream.

Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, which opened in June 2024, is a private resort located on the southern tip of Eleuthera Island, just a few miles away from Princess Cruises’ Princess Cays. Disney Cruise ships can dock directly at the pier in Lookout Cay and, like at Castaway Cay, a tram takes guests to the heart of the action. A long stretch of beach furnished with loungers and colorful umbrellas are at the guests’ disposal, along with a slew of amenities, including waterparks, several food-and-drink venues, and even an adult-only beach, bars, and cabanas.
