Welcome To Celebration Key: Carnival's New Bahamas Port

An Exclusive Port For Your Bahamas Cruise Vacation

Carnival Cruise fans will have a huge reason to celebrate come summer 2025. In what it calls a company first, Carnival is building a destination port from the ground up. This destination will be exclusive to Carnival guests, providing the excitement of a resort experience for cruisers. Celebration Key will offer a wide array of pools, restaurants, live music and shopping options for all ages. Discover what's in store for families and couples...

Whether you're traveling as a family or enjoying a Bahamas vacation for two, there will be plenty of options tailored to each age range. The destination port is divided into five portals, each one offering something unique for travelers.

Paradise Plaza

When you first arrive at Celebration Key, you'll step into Paradise Plaza, where you'll find a few quick food options, in addition to a guest services and hospitality area where you can plan your day. However, this won't be a run-of-the-mill guest services area. Carnival intends to entertain from the moment passengers step on land, with live music greeting guests as they arrive.

Calypso Lagoon

This adults-only experience is perfect for those cruisers who are looking to party. Multiple bars and restaurants will help you to let loose, as will the live DJ. There are sports courts for those who like a little workout with their fun in the sun. There is also a pool with cabanas for those who wish to just relax and unwind.

Starfish Lagoon

Starfish Lagoon is the family-friendly portal at Celebration Key, offering plenty of activities to ensure your little ones stay entertained. Younger kids will love the splash pad, while older kids can enjoy waterslides and a game pavilion. However, adults will be entertained as well, thanks to the swim-up bars. This family-focused attraction will feature tons of dining options, including both restaurants and food trucks.

Pearl Cove Beach Club

This exclusive adults-only portal is perfect for those who want a relaxing VIP experience. Whether you want to lounge on a private beach or order food and drinks to your cabana while you gaze out at the club's stunning infinity pool, this is the perfect option for those cruisers who crave a little luxury.

Lokono Cove

If you're the type of traveler who prefers a cultural excursion over lounging by the pool, Lokono Cove will be the perfect portal for you. This portal will feature the best of Bahamian culture, including live music and art exhibitions. You'll also be able to enjoy Bahamian cuisine and purchase jewelry and souvenirs from local artisans.

Getting The Most From Celebration Key

If the idea of lounging in a destination port all day doesn't sound appealing, Carnival will still offer many of the same excursions it's always offered in the Bahamas, including ATV riding, snorkeling, kayaking, island tours and more. For those looking to stay at Celebration Port but save a little money, Carnival will offer its Island Eats program, which will include one free meal at most fast-casual eateries per day, in addition to a 25% off discount at most restaurants.

Currently, the first round of Bahamas cruises that offer stops at Celebration Key will begin in July. If you want the top last-minute travel deals, check back often to get the best updates on big savings and bargains for Carnival Cruises.
