Travel Detail

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

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 exploring 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, the 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!

^† Based on publicly available data of surface area measurements as of 01/22/24.

• Paradise Plaza greets you with live music and helps you find your way to all the fun that’s still to come… like maybe that Suncastle in the distance?
• The atmosphere at Calypso Lagoon is lively… and chill! This portal is designed for adults and features a swim-up bar, dining spots, a DJ island, plus plenty of ways to relax.
• Starfish Lagoon is perfect for kids, teens and families, featuring a splash pad, sports courts, designated beach, dining spots, game pavilion and more.
• Pearl Cove Beach Club is the adults-only spot that takes luxury to the next level with an infinity pool, private beach access, elevated dining, the best views of Bahamian waters and more.
• The Retail Portal, known as Lokono Cove, is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture featuring local art, live music and flavors, plus artisanal goods, duty-free jewelry and more great shopping.

8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

After you see the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters, it's no surprise to learn that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island. But it held the title for more than 20 years… and you don't earn that type of respect without having great ways for visitors to really make the most of paradise.

So grab a Carnival cruise to this exclusive destination, and from your first toe in the sand you’ll understand why it’s anything but typical. All the excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pauses for a bit, opening up your vacation to a private island experience.

Cozy up and lounge with your someone-special in a clam-shell, a shady hideaway for two. If you’re looking for more private stretch-out space there are cabanas and villas to rent. And who can resist the siren’s call of an expert massage by the beach?

You know, relaxing is encouraged at Half Moon Cay... but against this lush backdrop there’s still so much to do! Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback on powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky-smooth stingrays.

• See the island’s incredible scenery from atop horseback.
• Compare swim strokes with the island’s gentle stingrays.
• Find plenty of room to enjoy nature with over one mile of white-sand beach.
• Enjoy the buffet at the updated lunch venue… with drink in hand.

No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.

Arrives at 8:00 AM

Dreaming of an island vacation? Make your dreams a reality with one of Carnival’s year-round cruises from Miami. Because it’s so close to the Caribbean and The Bahamas, Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world. But it’s more than just convenient — rev up for your cruise from Miami with the city’s nonstop action, from party-ready South Beach to the Mediterranean style of Coral Gables, plus spicy Little Havana, which hums to an island beat. Once you’ve experienced all the South Florida architectural beauty, energetic street life and sun-kissed beaches, you may want to extend your stay in the Magic City after your cruise returns.

• Drink up the sizzling nightlife on boisterous Ocean Drive.
• See the classic architecture in the South Beach Art Deco historic district.
• Grab a cafecito and a Cubano sandwich on Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
• Enjoy sightseeing, shopping, beaches, restaurants and bars on a hop-on/hop-off bus.
• Glide past gators on an airboat ride in the Everglades.
