The four-night cruise will offer guests the unique opportunity to experience all the ship has to offer while visiting Disney Cruise Line’s private Bahamian island destinations—Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Following its inaugural sailing, Disney Destiny will offer a series of four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. These voyages will feature stops at Disney’s private islands, and some itineraries will include visits to Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.

Additional ports will include Nassau, Bahamas, and Cozumel, Mexico.

Pirates of the Caribbean Themed Pub

One of the standout features of Disney Destiny is the Cask and Cannon, the first pirate-themed pub in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

Inspired by the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attractions found at Disney Parks worldwide, this pub offers an immersive experience where guests can join the ranks of fellow buccaneers.

The cozy lounge is furnished with treasures “acquired” during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe, creating a setting where guests can share tales of high-seas adventures.

The experience wouldn’t be complete at Cask and Cannon without an extensive menu of rare, specialty, and vintage Caribbean rums.

The pub will also offer a selection of “bootlegged” brews specially developed for the venue and served straight from the barrel in true pirate style.
