Some new and exciting things coming from Carnival Cruise Line®! Their brand new exclusive Destination, Celebration Key™, will debut in July 2025 on the south side of Grand Bahama island! Let’s dig in and explore some of the most exciting details:
Paradise Plaza
This entrance features a fun and vibrant way to welcome guests to Celebration Key™! Stop for ice cream on your way in! Snap some cute photos in front of the Bahamian-inspired fountain or take a trip up the larger-than-life sandcastle…home to water slides and an observation deck. Don’t forget to check out the live music!
Starfish Lagoon
With a freshwater lagoon, splash pad, and beach area, it’s a place for the whole family to discover paradise and make memories! Choose a spot to relax from a variety of lagoon-side cabanas. Then swim, float, and chill all day in paradise. Get some friendly competition at the Sports Court, and let the kids splash away at Guppy Grotto.
Lokono Cove
Bring home the perfect souvenirs from your Caribbean vacation! Take a break from the sun and immerse yourself in Bahamian art and culture in Lokono Cove. Discover handcrafted treasures. Learn about Bahamian ceramics and bask in vibrant wall murals painted by local artists. With charming shops, a Bahamian straw market, and more, this Portal offers a great selection of locally-made, artisanal goods.
Calypso Lagoon
For those who want to catch a bit of “kid-free” time, this section is Adult-Friendly, offering you the ultimate place for relaxation. This dedicated area of the private destination is exclusively reserved for adults (18+ for admission, 21+ for alcohol consumption). Here you’ll find lively spots, like a swim-up bar with DJ, and more relaxing experiences like loungers and exclusive beach access. With activities abound, you can do it all, or do absolutely nothing!




Pearl Cove Beach Club
This exclusive club is an adults-only (18+) area that takes luxury to the next level. Pearl Cove Beach Club features a private beach and stunning infinity pool overlooking the best ocean vistas. This spot includes elevated dining to savor — with poolside or beachfront service. Imagine yourself in a relaxing oasis where you don’t have to worry about anything. The details big and small are taken care of, right down to the lounge chairs perfectly placed below the palm trees. While access to most things at Celebration Key™ are included in the day, entrance to Pearl Cove is an extra charge.
