At Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, you will see a destination full of rich Bahamian culture. From the moment you enter the welcome area, Mabrika Cove, you will be immersed in the spirit of the Bahamas.
Local artists teamed with Walt Disney Imagineering worked to reflect the essence of The Bahamas in the design and experiences of Disney Lookout Cay. Bahamian nature and culture will surround you reflected in venues built to capture the natural wonders and traditions of the chain of islands.
The dramatic structures at Disney Lookout Cay are designed to resemble giant, colorful seashells scattered along Eleuthera’s coastline.
In the dining pavilions, bars and the Goombay Cultural Center, you will be greeted by vibrant, Bahamian-inspired art.
Inside the brightly-colored pavilion you will find a celebration of the rich history of The Bahamas which houses a wide range of programming, including the “Sights and Sounds of Junkanoo” family workshop, where local artisans will teach you all about Junkanoo, the signature festival of The Bahamas filled with colorful parades, dancing, and music.
