Disney Cruise Line is adding two new Caribbean destinations to its 2016 lineup, the company announced.

In 2016, Disney Cruise Line will sail from Port Canaveral on a seven-night itinerary to the Eastern Caribbean, including a call at Tortola and the company’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.

The company is also returning to San Juan, sailing four seven-night cruises to the southern Caribbean, including a stop in Martinique.

Martinique in particular has seen a significant increase in cruise arrivals in the last year.
