Carnival Cruise Line opened for sale approximately 400 cruises that
will bring guests to Celebration Key, its new port destination in The Bahamas,
beginning with the first calls in July 2025. Starting Sept. 28, guests can book
cruises on the first 12 Carnival ships sailing regularly from eight homeports.
“As the first port destination exclusively
designed for Carnival Cruise Line guests, Celebration Key will provide the
ultimate Carnival fun in the sun, immersed in the natural beauty of Grand
Bahama. Our guests have a wide range of ships, homeports and itineraries that
visit our new exclusive destination to choose from,” said Carnival President
Christine Duffy. “And we’ve seen that there is a lot of interest in Celebration
Key as thousands of Carnival guests signed up over the last week to be the
first to know about the itineraries and features. … We plan to announce further
details on what guests can expect to experience while there in the near
future.”
Located on the south side of Grand Bahama
Island, Celebration Key will offer a mile-long beach, authentic Bahamian shopping and
dining, and excursions to explore the island. The site has the largest
freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean. Carnival ships will dock at a pier that
can accommodate two Excel-class vessels simultaneously.
The 12 Carnival ships, sailing regularly from
eight homeports to Celebration Key are Carnival Celebration and Carnival
Conquest from PortMiami; Mardi Gras, Carnival Freedom and Carnival Glory from
Port Canaveral; Carnival Dream and Carnival Legend from Galveston; Carnival
Liberty from New Orleans; Carnival Pride from Baltimore; Carnival Elation from
Jacksonville; Carnival Sunshine from Norfolk, Va.; and Carnival Spirit from Mobile,
Ala.
Carnival continues to work closely with the
Government of The Bahamas, local Grand Bahama officials and community leaders
as vendors, excursion operators, business partners, construction workers; local
residents are selected for many business and job opportunities at Celebration
Key.
