Carnival Cruise Line has unveiled exciting details for its new Celebration Key destination on Grand Bahama, set to debut in July 2025. The destination will feature Paradise Plaza and Calypso Lagoon, two of the five portals that promise a unique and unforgettable experience for guests.
Paradise Plaza will offer a vibrant promenade, a 10-story-high Suncastle, live music, and a range of activities. Guests will have access to destination information to help them plan their day, whether they prefer water sports, shore excursions, or relaxation. Additionally, the plaza will feature a Bahamian-themed fountain and an ice cream shop, adding to the overall charm of the area.
On the other hand, the adult-friendly Calypso Lagoon, located west of Paradise Plaza, will provide a haven for guests to engage in athletic activities or simply take a refreshing dip in the freshwater lagoon. The area will be surrounded by loungers, daybeds, and cabanas, offering a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoyment.
Calypso Lagoon will also boast a bar with nearly 50 swings, allowing guests to enjoy the cool water while sipping on Bahamian cocktails. In addition to this, there will be multiple bars, two full-service restaurants, and casual snack shacks around the lagoon, ensuring that guests have access to a variety of dining and refreshment options.
Notably, a section of Calypso Lagoon and the adjacent beach will be designated for adults only, featuring a swim-up bar with a DJ to keep the energy high throughout the day. Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, expressed her excitement about the new details, emphasizing the creative design and the celebration of Bahamian culture that has gone into the development of each portal.
With the unveiling of these details, Carnival Cruise Line has set the stage for an extraordinary and immersive experience at Celebration Key, showcasing a perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and cultural celebration.
