A total of 400 cruises featuring a visit to Celebration Key will be offered for sale by Carnival Cruise Line starting in July 2025 with the first cruise departing for Celebration Key in May 2026.

Travelers can book cruises from eight Carnival homeports to Carnival’s new exclusive destination in The Bahamas in 2025 and 2026.

Carnival Cruise Line’s first exclusive port destination, Celebration Key, will immerse guests in Grand Bahama’s natural beauty for the ultimate Carnival fun in the sun. The Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy told us that Guests have the option of choosing from a wide range of ships, homeports, and itineraries that visit our new exclusive destination.

Thousands of Carnival guests have signed up to be the first to know about Celebration Key over the last week, and we’ve seen a lot of interest. It won’t be long before July 2025 when the Bahamas’ exclusive cruise port opens, and we are in close contact with the Bahamian Government and the local Grand Bahama community to make it a premier destination in the Caribbean for cruises.  In the near future, we will announce more details about the experiences guests can expect.”

The Grand Bahama Minister Ginger Moxie said, “This is such an exciting time for the people of Grand Bahama as Celebration Key becomes a reality.” In 2025, we intend to offer Carnival’s guests a warm and memorable vacation on our beautiful island as we look forward to making Grand Bahama the premier entertainment and event destination in the region.
