See the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters and it's no surprise that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island... for more than 20 straight years! And in 2026 the destination will be expanding with not only more tropical tranquility, but new ways to spend your paradise-time.

That's why we'll start calling it RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay! Stroll a nature path and relax at the private beach club. The beachfront adds new ways to lounge, like cabanas, plus more activities. We're also building new complimentary lunch spots, and great new island-themed bars for sipping and unwinding.

But it's still the perfect place to cozy up and lounge with your someone-special in a shady clamshell hideaway. If you’re looking for more private space, there are rental cabanas and villas too. And who can resist an expert massage by the beach? Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback on powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky-smooth stingrays.

- Compare swim strokes with the island’s gentle stingrays.

- Enjoy the buffet at the updated lunch venue… with drink in hand.

- Find plenty of room to enjoy nature with over one mile of white-sand beach.

- See the island’s incredible scenery from atop horseback.

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Sightseeing, swimming and soaking up the island flavor — it's all yours for the taking on a Carnival cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. Boasting balmy breezes and jumping to a bouncy calypso beat, Nassau promises sizzling fun in the sun. The historic and cultural heart of The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations — one million travelers board cruises to Nassau every year.

Carnival guests come for fine beaches, shopping, water sports, and fun-filled attractions at the Atlantis Resort, connected to Nassau by a bridge to Paradise Island.

Throw in a chance to swim with dolphins, or do a little slipping and sliding at a water park, and it's clear what makes Nassau a top spot for cruisers of all ages.

- Shop the straw market for cute and kitschy crafts.

- Pose for the classic ‘dolphin kiss’ during a private island swim with the dolphins.

- Relax on the white sands of a private island.

- Stroll 18th-century colonial streets and climb the sandstone Queen’s Staircase.

Now — for the first time ever! — we're building a new destination from the ground-up. And this one, nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island, is designed exclusively for Carnival guests. It's perfect for adults, families with kids… everybody who appreciates fun and exploring natural beauty.

What you'll find there is just like Carnival's onboard vibe that folks love. When your ship pulls up, the vacation possibilities are expanded with unique island-style fun, relaxation and adventure spread across 65 acres and five “portals” for you to explore. Each portal is distinctly different, made for another side of Carnival fun… plus get ready for unforgettable experiences like a mile-long white sand beach, the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean†, local Bahamian flavors and shopping, an adult-only beach club, plus excursions and more.

Celebration Key™ opens in summer 2025, but look for more details soon!

† Based on publicly available data of surface area measurements as of 01/22/25.

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.

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.
