How to Get on Board
For all you Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members, here’s the scoop: you get first dibs on bookings! You can secure your spot on this magical maiden voyage as early as September 6, 2024. But don’t worry if you’re not a Castaway Club member yet—bookings will open to the general public on September 12, 2024. This is a limited-time window to grab your spot on the Disney Destiny’s debut voyage, so don’t sleep on it!
What’s the Big Deal About the Maiden Voyage?
Let’s get into why this maiden voyage is a must-do. First off, it’s not just any cruise; it’s a four-night extravaganza that includes stops at not one but two of Disney Cruise Line’s private island destinations in The Bahamas. Yes, you heard that right. You’ll be docking at Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Both of these destinations are exclusive to Disney Cruise Line, offering pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and, of course, that magical Disney touch.
What’s the Itinerary Look Like?
Following the maiden voyage, Disney Destiny will continue to sail an inaugural season filled with epic four- and five-night cruises. These trips will whisk you away to the sun-drenched shores of The Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway or a slightly longer vacation, there’s something for everyone. Each cruise will feature at least one day of fun in the sun at either Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay. Some lucky itineraries will even give you the best of both worlds, with stops at both islands! Plus, certain sailings will offer additional ports of call, like Nassau, Bahamas, or the beautiful Cozumel, Mexico. Talk about a dream vacation, right?
