    Sailing Dates and Rates

    Cruise To The Bahamas

    Location: Bahamas
    Disney Cruise Line offers breathtaking cruises that take you into the heart of the Bahamas, with stops in the tropical paradises of Nassau and Disney's very own private island, Castaway Cay. Set sail from Port Canaveral and chart a course for a 3-, 4- or 5-night adventure at sea and on shore. In Nassau, delve into the wealth of sun-kissed beaches, eclectic boutiques and the historical architecture that remain as relics of the island's colonial past. In Castaway Cay, look forward to some of the world's best swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing in an imaginative setting created especially for our Guests.
