Carnival executives were in The Bahamas to launch the five-month countdown to the eagerly awaited Celebration Key.
Carnival Cruise Line’s newest private destination in Grand Bahama, will officially open when Carnival Vista completes the inaugural call on July 19, 2025.
To mark the occasion, Carnival Corp chief CEO Josh Weinstein and chief maritime officer Lars Ljoen joined Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy for a behind-the-scenes look.
It comes as construction enters its final phases.
They placed commemorative keys into the 10-storey Suncastle, the centrepiece of the destination’s five distinct ‘portals,’
Celebration Key portals:
Paradise Plaza – the gateway to Celebration Key.
Starfish Lagoon – a family-friendly area with water slides and a sports court.
Calypso Lagoon – an adult-friendly area with the largest freshwater lagoon in the Caribbean and a large swim-up bar.
Pearl Cove Beach Club – an adult-only experience with an infinity pool, beachfront daybeds, private cabanas and exclusive super villas.
Lokono Cove – a retail village celebrating Bahamian culture through local art and handmade goods.
They also planted palm trees from the Plant a Tree community engagement program, launched last year as part of an initiative. It has involved replanting thousands of native trees across Celebration Key.
Additionally, Christine Duffy participated in the ceremonial filling of one of two freshwater lagoons, the largest in the Caribbean, that will be sustained by Celebration Key’s desalination system.
The lagoons span over seven acres and hold seven million gallons of water.
Duffy said: “Celebration Key represents a new chapter for Carnival and its construction builds on our close partnership with the Bahamas.”
“We broke ground on this site less than three years ago and now in five short months we’ll see our first guests enjoy the many experiences we created just for them on Grand Bahama.”
