Disney's Castaway Cay is an island paradise, completely outfitted for premium family leisure and ample amenities for every age group. It is an exclusive destination and only available for guests sailing on select Disney Cruise Line itineraries to the Bahamas and Caribbean.
This private island in the Bahamas is a small beach community all on its own - it even has its own post office! The island features two family-friendly beaches complete with waterslides, float rentals, snorkeling and other water sport activities. Plus, it features an adult-only beach where serenity and peace are redefined.
With so many activities, it's no wonder why so many guests consider a stop at Castaway Cay to be the highlight of their Disney Cruise. Want to learn more about what experiences your family might enjoy? Take a look at the top activities for each family member.

Snorkel in the calm waters and look for hidden "treasures" beneath the sea

Discover the Royal Treatment at Castaway Cay
Make your visit to Castaway Cay extra special by renting a private cabana for the day.
Castaway Cay cabanas come complete with an exclusive beach area and are stocked with complimentary snacks, drinks, rafts, floats, sunscreen and sand toys… plus, a “magic button” you can push when you need something from your cabana host.
These open-air cabanas are extremely popular so I always recommend booking a Disney Cruise Line concierge stateroom, which allows you priority access to reserving a cabana, port excursions and onboard reservations for popular activities and specialty restaurants.
