Ports of Call:

Celebration Key, Bahamas

Carnival is creating something truly special for the first time ever - a destination built from the ground up, exclusively for Carnival guests! Located on the stunning south side of Grand Bahama Island, this 65-acre paradise offers endless fun and relaxation for all ages. Whether you're craving adventure or laid-back vibes, Celebration Key™ has it all: a mile-long white sand beach, the Caribbean's largest freshwater lagoons, local Bahamian cuisine and shopping, an adults-only beach club, and unique excursions.

 

Nassau, Bahamas

Sightseeing, swimming and soaking up the island flavor - it's all yours for the taking! Boasting balmy breezes and jumping to a bouncy calypso beat, Nassau promises sizzling fun in the sun. The historic and cultural heart of The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations. Carnival guests come for fine beaches, shopping, water sports, and fun-filled attractions at the Atlantis Resort, connected to Nassau by a bridge to Paradise Island. Throw in a chance to swim with dolphins or do a little slipping and sliding at a water park, and it's clear what makes Nassau a top spot for cruisers of all ages.

 

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

After you see the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters, it's no surprise to learn that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island. But it held the title for more than 20 years… and you don't earn that type of respect without having great ways for visitors to really make the most of paradise. From your first toe in the sand, you’ll understand why it’s anything but typical. All the excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pauses for a bit, opening up your vacation to a private island experience.
