Celebration Key™

DISCOVER PARADISE IN OUR NEW EXCLUSIVE DESTINATION

Now — for the first time ever! — we’re building a new destination from the ground-up. And this one, nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island, is designed exclusively for Carnival guests. It’s perfect for adults, families with kids… everybody who appreciates fun and natural beauty.

What you’ll find there is just like Carnival’s onboard vibe that folks love. When your ship pulls up, the vacation possibilities are expanded with unique island-style fun, relaxation and adventure spread across 65 acres and five “portals” for you to explore. Each portal is distinctly different, made for another side of Carnival fun… plus get ready for unforgettable experiences like a mile-long white sand beach, largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, local Bahamian flavors and shopping, an adult-only beach club, plus excursions and more.

Celebration Key™ opens in summer 2025, but look for more details soon!

CELEBRATION KEY HAS IT ALL

PARADISE PLAZA

Paradise Plaza™ greets you and gets you on your way to discovering what's great on Celebration Key, because who can wait to dive right in? There’s a lot to see, but before you do, you might want to grab something cool from the ice cream shop or stop for a splashy photo-op by the Bahamian-inspired fountain. Keep an ear open for live music, too, as you decide what to do first — guest services and the excursion desk are nearby to help with that! And off in the distance, it’s a Suncastle featuring waterslides and an observation deck. Okay, off you go!

CALYPSO LAGOON

Calypso Lagoon™ is the adult-friendly portal, and it’s all about the sand, sun and fun… and there’s about as much lively action to find as there are ways to chill. Relax on a float, try a lounger by the lagoon, go full-cabana, hang at a bar where all the seats are actually swings, or get in the game at the sports court. So go ahead and work up — or relax up — an appetite, because Calypso Lagoon is also home to great dining options, with two full-service restaurants serving a variety of cuisines and specializing in local Bahamian flavors. There’s also an adults-only area — call it a getaway within a getaway — that’s decked out with a swim-up bar near the DJ’s island, and an exclusive area on the neighboring beach.

Starfish Lagoon

Starfish Lagoon™, the family-friendly portal, is perfect for kids and families… and that means teens too! All-together is a great way to experience activities like the lagoon and beach, splash pad with shallow pool, plus basketball, volleyball, pickleball and more at the game pavilion. And, of course, the adults can do their own thing. (By the way: swim-up bar!) Beach villas and floating aquabanas are just a couple of options for families to make this portal their home base, and you know there's great dining for all, from food trucks to restaurants, with plenty of cuisine choices.

PEARL COVE BEACH CLUB

Pearl Cove Beach Club™ is Celebration Key’s adults-only area, and it takes luxury to the next level. This exclusive spot features a private beach and stunning infinity pool overlooking the best views of Bahamian waters. The great choices continue with elevated dining to savor — with poolside or beachfront service. Since you’re already daydreaming — we can tell — imagine an oasis where the details are taken care of, right down to the lounge chairs perfectly placed below the palm trees.

LOKONO COVE

Lokono Cove™ is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture and shopping whose authenticity extends from the name to much of what’s for sale. Among the kiosks, stores and straw market, some highlights in this portal — named for Grand Bahama’s earliest settlers, the peaceful Lucayans — include local artist exhibitions, a mural wall, live music performances… plus artisanal goods made by Bahamian vendors, so you can bring home a piece of paradise for yourself, or a gift with a great story behind it. And if you're seeking some sparkle, get ready for duty-free jewelry and diamond shopping.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF CELEBRATION KEY

This is the kind of destination you’ll want to explore and immerse yourself in… and that’s great, because it also has some of the best ways to spend an amazing day. If you’re looking for activities and adventure, you’re going to find Celebration Key — and other nearby spots on Grand Bahama Island — prime location for snorkeling, kayaking, ATV riding, swimming with dolphins, plus guided island tours and more. (We’ve got all the rental gear you need!) On the relaxation front, Celebration Key has plenty of options for kicking back with comfort, shade and even a bit of privacy. Upgrade your day with a canopied daybed for two; a cabana with lounge chairs, sofas and room for up to six… or a little house of your own: full-on villas featuring hammocks, swing chairs, and room for up to 12!
