Climats du Monde

Princess Cruises has removed Princess Cays from its published itineraries starting in November 2026.

The latest scheduled calls are currently planned for September and October, after which the destination will be dropped from the company’s programs.

Several affected cruises have already been revised with alternative calls in the Bahamas, notably at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key.

The company has, at this stage, published no official communication explaining this change.

Alternatives Within Carnival Corporation’s Portfolio

These changes come as Carnival Corporation expands its portfolio of private Bahamas destinations.

Princess Cruises is expected to begin offering regular calls at Half Moon Cay, while Celebration Key, the group’s new private destination, is gradually taking a more prominent place in the itineraries of Carnival Corporation’s brands.

The shift may, however, have different implications for guests.

Princess beverage packages are accepted at RelaxAway and Half Moon Cay, whereas they are not accepted at Celebration Key, where consumptions are billed separately.

The Future of Princess Cays Remains Uncertain

Located on the southern part of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, Princess Cays has been operated by Carnival Corporation since the 1990s and has long been one of Princess Cruises’ principal private destinations in the Caribbean.

The company has announced neither closure, nor sale, nor rearrangement of the site.

The Disney Princesses are taking up residence along the shores of Adventure Bay.

Proposed several times daily throughout the year, starting this Friday, July 24, 2026, this show brings together Moana, Raya, Tiana, and Rapunzel on bespoke floats, for an immersive interactive moment with guests.

The parade route stretches along the lake, winding from the future space dedicated to The Lion King to The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge.

Halfway along, the procession makes a stop to invite the audience to an interactive sequence.

The heroines and their companions step down to meet spectators and teach them choreographed moves, ranging from the traditional Pacific Island dance for Moana to martial arts gestures for Raya.

Disney Princess Cavalcade: A Year of Development

To design this show, which required a year and a half of development and 287 hours of rehearsals, the creative teams turned to French craftsmanship.

The costumes were crafted by the workshops of Disneyland Paris, while the floats representing the original worlds—the Motunui village, the Heart Palace, New Orleans, or the Drunken Duck Tavern—were produced by a Nice-based specialized company.

Moreover, the launch of this cavalcade marks the end of The Disney Fanfare led by Minnie, who now wears a Victorian outfit to greet visitors at the West Pavilion.
