Celebration Key™
Discover Paradise in a New Destination Exclusively for Carnival Guests
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 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, 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!
Celebration Key Has It All
Paradise Plaza
Calypso Lagoon
Starfish Lagoon
Pearl Cove Beach Club
Lokono Cove
Lokono Cove™ is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture and shopping whose authenticity extends from the name to much of what’s for sale. Among the kiosks, stores and straw market, some highlights in this portal — named for Grand Bahama’s earliest settlers, the peaceful Lucayans — include local artist exhibitions, a mural wall, live music performances… plus artisanal goods made by Bahamian vendors, so you can bring home a piece of paradise for yourself, or a gift with a great story behind it. And if you're seeking some sparkle, get ready for duty-free jewelry and diamond shopping.
