The Scandinavian design ethic will be present, along with fantastic restaurants and a thermal spa that are all included in the fare. “The competency displayed by the Disney Fantasy crew and the Coast Guard personnel and units involved made all the difference,” he said. A sixth Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Treasure, is under construction and is likely to debut sometime in late 2024. Star Wars Day at Sea appears to have been replaced with Pixar Day at Sea, but DCL has not made an official announcement one way or the other.

Disney: Summer Deployment Includes Mix of Destinations, New Private Island

Or you can choose to set sail on an adventure exploring Europe, the wilderness of Alaska or the tropical islands of the Caribbean. Whichever cruise you choose, you can look forward to all the award-winning attention to detail you’ve come to expect from Disney. Disney Cruise Line has just released their summer 2024 itineraries, including the first visits to their new private island in The Bahamas, Lighthouse Point. The Disney Treasure, the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, will sail its inaugural voyage on Dec. 21, 2024. During its first season, guests can book seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean departing from Port Canaveral, Florida. Bookings open this year to Castaway Club members on Sept. 12 and all guests on Sept. 20.

The itineraries really set these ships apart, as they are able to not only sail on some of America's rivers, they will visit islands off the U.S. coast such as Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and the Florida Keys and places such as Chesapeake Bay. The Disney Fantasy will sail to ports in the eastern and western Caribbean, mostly on seven-night cruises. Disney will begin sailing in June 2024 to its new private island of Eleuthera at Lighthouse Point in the Bahamas, with sailings on the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral and on the Disney Magic from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Most of the summer 2024 sailings to the new island will be from Port Everglades, with two from Port Canaveral ― on June 8 and on July 25.

From October onward, the ship adds in a number of Bahamas sailings including Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. The centerpiece of the festivities will be an outdoor production featuring live vocalists, stunts, and Captain Jack Sparrow himself. The night will conclude with fireworks, the surefire sign of the end of any magical Disney day. Other activities during Disney ships' pirate nights typically include character greetings with Mickey and friends dressed in pirate garb, poolside screenings of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, pirate trivia, and more. Disney ships are known for their epic water slides, and the Disney Treasure will have one of the fleet's most elaborate plunges. Like the Disney Wish, the Treasure will feature AquaMouse, an experience that's part water slide, part theme park attraction.

It will leave the island at the usual time on the first day and come back the next morning. Guests are encouraged to bring their costumes and participate in the costume celebration held in the ship’s atrium. Adults and teens, can get a Rey makeover that includes a stylish dress, makeup and hair style or choose from one of four Star Wars-themed T-shirt options. All come with a personalized name tag, lanyard with medallion and magnet set. Some of the more elaborate Christmas decorations, including a huge, real gingerbread house or other gingerbread decoration, will not be up until later in November.

Once the rescue crews arrived, the Jayhawk aircrew deployed their rescue swimmer while the Ocean Sentry monitored the conditions and provided support. The woman and the cruise ship doctor were successfully hoisted aboard the aircraft and then transported first to the Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport in San Juan, then taken by local emergency personnel to a nearby hospital. A female guest was successfully airlifted from Disney Fantasy on the morning of Monday, April 15, when the cruise ship was enjoying a day at sea after having departed Port Canaveral on Saturday, April 13.

The ship’s crew contacted Coast Guard watchstanders in Sector San Juan regarding the medical emergency. The watchstanders coordinated the medevac, sending an MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter and an HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft. A rescue swimmer was deployed from the Jayhawk to prepare a basket and litter. Crew members carried the patient on a stretcher on deck where she was then hoisted into the aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard conducted a medevac for a Disney Cruise Line passenger this Monday. Size aside, don't expect too much of Viking's award-winning formula to change.

The trips will include stops in popular cities like Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta as well as California’s Catalina Island. The Disney Magic will then head to New Orleans, heading out on four, five, and seven-night cruises to the Caribbean. The Disney Fantasy will also sail from Port Canaveral to the eastern and western Caribbean with stops in gorgeous destinations like Tortola and St. Thomas as well as Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica.

The island also hosts its slate of shore excursions, from snorkeling to stingray-petting. A favorite of many Disney cruises, Pirate Night will again be a mainstay of the Disney Treasure. Guests will be encouraged to dress in costume to attend the Pirate's Rockin' Parlay Party. If you're in the mood to splurge, consider a concierge-level stateroom (sleeping up to five guests) themed to "The Lion King" or "Finding Nemo." The former is a one-bedroom suite option if you want more space. Overnight accommodations on the Treasure will lean into the ship-wide exploration theme but with subtlety rather than kitsch.

The Christmas decorations will be fully up by Thanksgiving, and there will be a full set of holiday activities and events. Pixar Day at Sea and Marvel Day at Sea 2024 cruise dates (January through March) were announced on February 2, 2023. The ship then returns to Vancouver to begin the 2024 Alaska Cruise season, which lasts through late September. Starting in mid-February, the ship goes on a series of one-way cruises that take it to Honolulu, Hawaii, followed by Vancouver, Canada, and finally to San Diego, California. The ship will be based in Port Canaveral, Florida throughout all of 2024, sailing on 3- and 4-Night Bahamian Cruises.

The San Juan Caribbean cruises run through mid-May, when the ship relocates for an extended assignment to Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), Florida. The Caribbean cruises continue from Galveston through mid-April, when the ship relocates to San Juan, Puerto Rico. In February, it briefly relocates to New Orleans, Louisiana for a month of Caribbean cruises out of that port before returning to Galveston in March. Following a Transatlantic voyage in late-October, the ship returns to Fort Lauderdale in November and offers Bahamian and Caribbean cruises for the remainder of the year.

Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on Eleuthera, Bahamas, is Disney’s newest private destination — and it’s certainly been highly anticipated. The Dream will offer a series of European itineraries that sail out of Barcelona, Spain and Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy from early May through late July — and from Southampton, England from late July through mid-September. In addition to the formal dining rooms we mentioned earlier, the Disney Treasure will be home to several quick-service dining locations for casual eats, all with their own distinct connections to Disney lore.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) successfully evacuated a passenger from Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Fantasy on Monday, April 15, 2024, in a long-distance operation dramatically captured on video. The evacuation took place 180 miles (290 kilometers) northwest of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, while the ship was en route to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.

The 456-passenger ship is significantly larger than Evrima, which only held 298 guests. Following a successful launch in 2023, Explora Journeys will launch its second luxury ship, the 922-passenger Explora II, in August 2024. Expect the same features that have wowed guests so far, including a stunning lobby bar; gorgeous pools and an array of dining options that include an unlimited raw bar in the ship's Emporium Marketplace. While adrenaline junkies are setting their sights on Thrill Island, with the Category 6 waterpark full of slides and an over-the-water obstacle course, we're more excited about Icon's newest laid-back neighborhood.

The Coast Guard also deployed an HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft from Air Station Miami to rendezvous with the cruise ship. Dramatic video captured the moment a pregnant woman suffering medical complications was airlifted from a Disney cruise ship. Disney Cruise Line is offering an expanding summer program in 2024, with ships serving destinations in North America and Europe. These cruises can be a good deal, as they usually are cheaper per night than conventional round-trip cruises.
