CARNIVAL CELEBRATION: GREAT FUN TOGETHER, ALL POWERED BY LNG

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: Miami
Departs at 3:30 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 & 3: 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: St. Thomas

9:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Cruises that visit St. Thomas offer some of the best photo opportunities in the Caribbean. That’s why a Carnival cruise to the Virgin Islands tops many folk’s vacation wish lists. Seafarers from around the globe have flocked to the sheltered harbors of St. Thomas since pirates sailed these seas. Today, cruises to St. Thomas dock in one of the busiest and most developed ports in the West Indies: Charlotte Amalie, the island’s historic capital. Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the market bustle, and swing to the beat of scratch bands. Or plant yourself on a beautiful beach and relax the day away. The choice is yours when you cruise to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
 
✅Play on the creamy white sands of Magens Bay Beach.
✅Get up close to sea horses and tropical fish at Coral World.
✅Charter a sailboat to explore secret coves and turquoise bays.
✅Toast your cruise to St. Thomas at a beach bar in Frenchtown.

Day 5: San Juan

Cruises from San Juan, Puerto Rico offer a magical blend of natural island charm and man-made wonders. Historic San Juan, once nothing more than cobblestone streets and the distinctive architecture of the Spanish who founded it, is now a modern world capital. And, as you’ll see on Carnival’s cruises from Puerto Rico, it’s kept these classical features! Among the peaceful shaded courtyards and commanding colonial fortresses of El Morro and San Cristobal, urban explorers will find a cosmopolitan city of wide boulevards, lively cafés, highly-regarded galleries and designer boutiques… not to mention gold-sand beaches and nearby rainforest jungles. San Juan, Puerto Rico is where the old world meets the new — and you can enjoy them both when you choose one of our cruises from San Juan.
 
✅Castillo San Felipe del Morro (a.k.a. “El Morro”) features amazing history and the best view of the San Juan harbor.
✅The Bacardi distillery® spans 127 acres of land, and over 100 years of history.
✅Vieques is an island's island — literally, featuring amazing beaches and found off the coast of Puerto Rico.
✅Munch on mofongo, a fried plantain delicacy, a staple of menus throughout San Juan.

Day 7 Celebration Key

 

It's time to check out Celebration Key —  a new destination from Carnival, nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island, that's designed exclusively for Carnival guests. It’s perfect for adults, families with kids… everybody who appreciates fun and natural beauty. Get ready for unforgettable experiences like a mile-long white sand beach, the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean† and five “portals” for you to enjoy. 

Paradise Plaza™ will be the first portal to explore, welcoming you ashore with guest information, live music, photo ops and more. Starfish Lagoon™ is made for families — and kids of all ages — with Flash Flamingo and Mach III Marlin waterslides, Guppy Grotto splash pad, and a selection of sports courts offering basketball, beach volleyball and pickleball action. Calypso Lagoon™ is designed for adults ready to relax... or go for more of an active vibe, with lagoon-side swim-up and swings bars, a DJ island and more. Pearl Cove Beach Club™ welcomes adults — and only adults — to take paradise to the next level with great ocean views, infinity pool, swim-up bar, elevated dining, plus attentive service poolside or beachside. Lokono Cove™ offers goods from local artisans, plus showcases Bahamian art, music, history and culture. 


✅ Paradise Plaza greets you with live music and helps you find your way to all the fun that’s still to come… like maybe that Suncastle in the distance?
✅ The atmosphere at Calypso Lagoon is lively… and chill! This adult-friendly portal features a swim-up bar, dining spots, a DJ island, plus plenty of ways to relax.
✅ Starfish Lagoon is perfect for kids, teens and families, featuring a splash pad, sports courts, designated beach, dining spots, game pavilion and more.
✅ Pearl Cove Beach Club is the adults-only spot that takes luxury to the next level with an infinity pool, private beach access, elevated dining, the best views of Bahamian waters and more.
✅ The Retail Portal, known as Lokono Cove, is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture featuring local art, live music and flavors, plus artisanal goods, duty-free jewelry and more great shopping.
