“Cue the Junkanoo band,” says Carnival Cruise Line. When its new private port opens on Grand Bahama in November, it will be named Celebration Key, the company announced today.

With the opening, Carnival joins a popular trend toward having its own unrestricted access to land after a day at sea. Celebration Key will offer a mile-long white-sand beach, and Bahamian-themed retail, food and beverage options. “Invoking the natural beauty of Grand Bahama, every day at Celebration Key will be a celebration of our guests’ own making with a variety of experiences and something for everyone,” said president Christine Duffy.

With a capacity of 2 million guests a year, Celebration Key will be able to accommodate two Excel-class ships at once. It will be used by at least 10 ships from multiple homeports beginning July 2025.

More details will be released in late September, Carnival said.
