Carnival Celebration

You know, it’s hard work making effortlessly-fun vacations. That’s why we’re looking forward to kicking back with you on the new Carnival Celebration as we toast to the last 50 years. So please bring that unique Carnival spirit... and know that this ship’s bringing the fun. Just like sister ship Mardi Gras®, Carnival Celebration has six Zones — themed areas that bring together incredible experiences and flavor. New flavors you haven’t experienced yet — nobody has! — are heating up at Latitudes™, The Golden Jubilee™ and Emeril’s Bistro 1397™. (Mmm, new Emeril.) Carnival Celebration also marks the return of innovations like BOLT® — our onboard rollercoaster, Bonsai Teppanyaki™, RedFrog® Tiki Bar, Family Feud™ Live, Havana Bar™, Seuss at Sea™, and Playlist Productions™. Perhaps best of all, all the fun you’ll have on Carnival Celebration is powered by clean LNG fuel!

Itinerary:

 

 
Day 1    Sat           Miami, FL
Departs at 4:00 PM

Dreaming of an island vacation? Make your dreams a reality with one of Carnival’s year-round cruises from Miami. Because it’s so close to the Caribbean and The Bahamas, Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world. But it’s more than just convenient — rev up for your cruise from Miami with the city’s nonstop action, from party-ready South Beach to the Mediterranean style of Coral Gables, plus spicy Little Havana, which hums to an island beat. Once you’ve experienced all the South Florida architectural beauty, energetic street life and sun-kissed beaches, you may want to extend your stay in the Magic City after your cruise returns.

  • Drink up the sizzling nightlife on boisterous Ocean Drive.
  • See the classic architecture in the South Beach Art Deco historic district.
  • Grab a cafecito and a Cubano sandwich on Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
  • Enjoy sightseeing, shopping, beaches, restaurants and bars on a hop-on/hop-off bus.
  • Glide past gators on an airboat ride in the Everglades.
Day 2    Sun          Fun Day at Sea
No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
 
Day 3    Mon        Fun Day at Sea    
No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
 
Day 4    Tues        Bonaire 
Bonaire is an island nation in the Southern Caribbean that was twice “discovered” — once by the Spanish and once by the Dutch — and was until recently part of the Netherlands Antilles. Its far-flung history may be all over the map… but you’ll find the island itself located just right. Also just right is the climate — the annual average is 81.5° F — so you’ll have plenty of reasons to spend time outdoors. When in the water, diving and snorkeling happen to be some of the best ways to see the reef surrounding the island… but they’re also great for cooling off.
  • Enjoy world-class snorkeling in crystal-clear water among coral reefs that line the coasts of Bonaire.
  • Tour Lac Bay National Park aboard a powerboat — the park is one of the best-preserved mangrove forests in the Caribbean.
  • See the salt beds in Pekelmeer, also home to thousands of pink flamingoes.
 
Day 5    Wed       Aruba
It’s hard to find a more beautiful vacation destination than the Southern Caribbean, and on our cruises to Aruba, you’re the star of that perfect snapshot. Splash and play your way across this sparkling corner of the Caribbean, or simply relax on a sun-baked beach on one of Carnival’s cruises to Aruba. The locals call it the “happy island,” and they prove it — Aruba cheerily welcomes visitors to picture-perfect strips of beach, swaths of exotic blooms, and some of the Caribbean’s top shopping and nightlife locales. Celebrate the year-round Caribbean spirit, or simply unwind to the island’s bewitching and relaxing tempo. It’s easy to find your own tropical beat when you cruise Aruba-style.
  • Lounge on the white sands of world-class Palm Beach.
  • Hop aboard the famous Kukoo Kunuku bus for a fun-filled island tour, and then relax on Mambo beach.
  • See why visitors can’t wait to get down to snorkeling and scuba.
  • Shop for fine Dutch-made porcelain and imported chocolates in Oranjestad.
 
Day 6   Thurs      Curacao
Cruises to Curacao take you into the exciting pulse of the Southern Caribbean. Curaçao is where Europe meets the West Indies, and it collides here beautifully in a smashing blend of bold colors and cosmopolitan culture. The largest of what was once the Netherlands Antilles, this Caribbean island has it all. Cruise to Curaçao for the beautiful beaches and historic architecture, but don’t miss everything from the splashy sights of marine parks to the distinctive local liqueur — it all awaits on cruises to Curaçao. Above all, what awaits you is the warm, welcoming embrace you’ll start to feel the minute you set sail to Curaçao.
  • Take a trolley tour through the pastel-hued streets of Willemstad.
  • Shop for quality European goods and Dutch treats in the Punda District.
  • Stroll across historic Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge.
  • Visit the Hato Caves, a dramatic collection of grottos filled with stalactites, stalagmites and crystal clear pools.
