The Carnival Celebration currently sails year-round from its homeport of Miami, Florida, whisking guests away on sun-soaked seven-day itineraries across the Eastern and Western Caribbean, as well as the Bahamas— including stops at Carnival's new private destination, Celebration Key. Designed as a massive floating resort, the ship is divided into six distinct themed zones packed with unforgettable attractions. Standout features onboard include BOLTTM, the thrilling all-electric roller coaster that lets you control your speed high above the ocean; the expansive WaterWorks aqua park, complete with three spiraling high-speed slides and a tipping bucket; and Celebration Central, a stunning three-deck atrium boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and 14-foot LED screens for immersive live entertainment. Whether you are competing on stage in Family FeudTM Live or kicking back with a tropical cocktail at the two-story RedFrog Tiki Bar, the ship delivers an incredible mix of adventure and relaxation.
