    Philippines Citizen with a U.S. Visa going on a cruise from Port-Carneval to Castaway Cay. Is a Bahamas Visa required even though the cruise is not going anywhere else in the Bahamas and is visiting the island for less than one full day

    Ahoy there, Charlene! Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your question!

    If I could pick just one cruise destination, Castaway Cay would be my top choice every time! With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and that signature Disney magic, it’s the perfect place for an unforgettable day.

    Although Castaway Cay is a Disney paradise, it is also part of the Bahamas, which means all visitors must follow Bahamian visa requirements. Currently, citizens of the Philippines need a Bahamian visa to visit. I highly recommend checking the Disney Cruise Line website for the most up-to-date information on required travel documents. You can also apply for a visa online through the Government of The Bahamas website. If you have any additional questions, the Disney Cruise Line help page is a great resource, or come on back to planDisney - we love to help!

    Castaway Cay fun fact: The island has its own runway, Castaway Cay Airport (MYAG)! While no longer used for flights, it now serves as a bike and tram path—be sure to check it out during your visit!

    Bon Voyage,
    Anne
