Celebration Key by Carnival

Celebration Key, an exciting new private beach development that will be opened in July 2025 on the south side of Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. Celebration Key will be a perfect cruise destination combining relaxation, adventure, and lively cultural experiences in a heavenly tropical setting.

Celebration Key will have five distinct areas (portals) devoted to different interests bringing you activities related to music, food, beach activities, and a lot more family fun. Excursions will offer kayaking, snorkeling, Jeep travel, glass-bottomed boat trips, and equipment rental for water sports. In the future, there will also be a water park with zip lines. Indeed, something for every kind of traveler!
