Guests are getting a closer look at the new cruise destination everyone is buzzing about as Carnival Cruise Line reveals details of the new exclusive destination on Grand Bahama. Carnival’s Celebration Key™ will feature five distinct areas designed to maximize the fun.
Honoring the natural beauty and culture of Grand Bahama, Celebration Key will deliver endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation across five distinct areas called portals. The destination will feature the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean and a breathtaking white sand beach. It will also feature an exclusive adult-only private club, spaces designed to maximize family fun, and a variety of dining venues and libation stations.
Celebration Key is a featured destination on more than 500 cruise itineraries on 18 ships from nine U.S. homeports.
New Details Give First Look at Five Portals:
The Welcome Portal
The Welcome Portal is the point where guests are first immersed in the beauty of the destination and greeted with information to help guide them toward their own kind of fun. As live music fills the air, a larger-than-life sandcastle stands tall in the center of Celebration Key as the embodiment of all that is fun in the sun.
The Family-Friendly Portal
The Family-Friendly Portal is the place for families with kids of all ages to enjoy their time at Celebration Key. The day can include swimming in the large freshwater lagoon, alongside a splash pad with a shallow pool. There’s two exciting racing waterslides in the large sandcastle, sports courts, and spaces designed for kids and teens to enjoy.
Not to mention, there’s a beautiful beach with loungers and a variety of cabana rentals. These include beach cabanas, villas with personal slides into the lagoon, and floating cabanas. There are not only activities for the whole family, but also a variety of dining options that will appeal to all taste buds.
The Adult-Friendly Portal
The Adult-Friendly Portal is designed for adults looking to spend their day enjoying the freshwater lagoon or at the beach. Guests can also find their favorite cocktails at a large swim-up bar while they enjoy a high energy vibe by a talented DJ.
A variety of cabana rentals, including beach cabanas, villas with personal slides into the lagoon and floating cabanas are available. There are also several dining venues, including a full-service restaurant that will offer a variety of cuisines.

More on Celebration Key
“No one does FUN like Carnival and we are designing Celebration Key, and its five portals, with endless ways for our guests to unlock their own kind of fun in this incredible paradise that also celebrates the beauty of Grand Bahama,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Celebration Key is uniquely positioned to bring an island experience to our diverse range of guests, in a way that lets them choose their slice of ‘paradise.’”
Carnival ships will dock at an adjacent pier that can accommodate up to two of the line’s largest ships simultaneously. This will allow guests direct access to the destination. Further, Celebration Key will also include an events pavilion that is dedicated to hosting weddings, vow renewals, and other special celebrations.
Carnival plans to share more details for each of the portals over the coming months. With the development underway, there are also plans for future expansion. These include a waterpark and zipline course, giving guests more reasons to return to the destination for years to come.
