Celebrate good times family-style with Carnival Cruise Line.
For families looking to make the most of their Caribbean cruise, Carnival Cruise Line is adding a new dimension to the vacation experience with Celebration Key™, part of the Paradise Collection™ by Carnival®. Celebration Key is Carnival’s vibrant and dynamic paradise on Grand Bahama, designed to bring every type of vacation experience together in one destination. Centered around the Caribbean’s largest freshwater lagoons and a mile-long white-sand beach, this island getaway offers the perfect blend of lively energy, family fun, and adults-only relaxation. From exciting waterslides and the world’s largest swim-up bar to authentic Bahamian experiences and the exclusive Pearl Cove Beach Club, Celebration Key invites guests to discover their own slice of paradise with an unforgettable day ashore.
Make a Splash at Starfish Lagoon
As Celebration Key’s dedicated family gateway, Starfish Lagoon is designed for children and adults to enjoy side by side. The freshwater lagoon becomes the home base for the whole family for the day. Everyone can swim, float, and cool off together before heading to the nearby family beach. The gentle entry creates an easy way for guests of all ages to enjoy the water at their own pace and comfort level.
Younger cruisers will find themselves at the Guppy Grotto, a splash area decked out in a coral reef theme featuring a shallow wading pool and water play features. Simultaneously, older kids and parents can challenge one another at the sports courts for volleyball, basketball, and pickleball or enjoy games such as table tennis and corn hole.

For even more friendly, family competition, the iconic Suncastle offers incredible views and boasts two racing waterslides. Flash Flamingo and Mach III Marlin offer a thrilling way for family members to race side by side.
A Place of Your Own
When it is time to cool down and recharge, families can reserve a private space to relax in. Reservable cabanas, daybeds, floating AquaBanas and beach villas offer a haven for a slow down between activities. Larger families and groups could find themselves at a SuperVilla, with space for up to 12 guests and full day amenities for ultimate comfort.
Find the Most Flavor
The experience continues through dining, with family-friendly choices ranging from burgers and seafood at Gill’s Grill, to pizza, tacos, Mediterranean bowls and more at Captain’s Galley Food Hall. The variety continues at the local food trucks and other grab and go options, offering convenient choices for families looking to refuel without disrupting the flow of the day.
Fit for Every Family
Flexibility is what makes Celebration Key so appealing for multigenerational travel. Some family members can relax on the beach, while others head for a splash in the lagoon, race down the waterslide, or spend time on the sports courts, with everyone able to reconnect throughout the day. With so many experiences in one destination, there’s no need to worry about coordinating logistics, leaving more time to focus on making lasting memories.
