Tucked along the untouched southern shores of Grand Bahama, Celebration Key is a private island escape built for relaxation and adventure. With no cars in sight, getting around is refreshingly simple — stroll along palm-lined paths, rent a bike, or hop on a golf cart for easy exploration.

Paradise Plaza serves as the vibrant gateway to Carnival Cruise Line’s exclusive Bahamian destination. A brightly colored promenade and radiant sun-shaped arch set the tone for island adventure, with live music filling the air. At its heart is the impressive Suncastle, a ten-story-tall structure with water slides and an observation deck with panoramic views.

From there, Celebration Beach, the largest white-sand stretch in the Carnival portfolio, will be calling. Take in the scene from a cabana at Pearl Cove Beach Club or dive into Caribbean-clear waters for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. For an adventure beyond the shoreline, head out on a boat tour to explore hidden blue holes or swim with friendly stingrays in their natural habitat.

Vacation relaxation awaits at Calypso Lagoon’s swim-up bar, while Lokono Cove showcases local artisans and crafts, providing a cultural immersion into Bahamian heritage.

When it’s time to refresh, choose from more than 30 venues, from full dining experiences to quick, tasty bites. Sip on a Goombay Smash or fresh coconut while soaking up the sun. The island’s Bahamian Marketplace brings local flavors to the table with conch salad, fried snapper, and tropical treats that make every bite worth savoring.

However you choose to spend your time in Celebration Key, this Caribbean cruise destination balances island excitement and effortless relaxation — an unforgettable highlight of your Escape with Effy charter cruise.
