Carnival Cruise Line's much-anticipated exclusive destination, Celebration Key, is set to welcome its first guests on July 19, 2025, with company president Christine Duffy scheduled to officially open the venue.
The new destination has already captured significant attention, consistently ranking amongst the most-searched cruise destinations on Google, and the company has shared new pictures of the destination.
Celebration Key promises visitors "the ultimate day in paradise" with an array of attractions designed to cater to different preferences and age groups.
The destination forms part of Carnival's Paradise Collection, which includes RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay and Isla Tropicale, with the latter two destinations scheduled to receive enhancements in 2026.

The centrepiece of Celebration Key is the 10-storey Suncastle, decorated with five enormous conch shells and featuring two water slides exceeding 350 feet in length.
These slides wind through and around the structure, offering guests competitive racing experiences with dramatic turns and light displays before reaching a splashing finish.
The destination boasts the Caribbean's largest freshwater lagoons, Calypso and Starfish, spanning more than 275,000 square feet combined. Calypso Lagoon caters to adults seeking refreshment, whilst Starfish Lagoon provides family-friendly entertainment.
At Calypso Lagoon's DJ Island, visitors can enjoy music and refreshments at Mingo's Tropical Bar & Kitchen, which features the world's largest swim-up bar with 166 in-water seats serving Bahamian cuisine.
