Carnival Cruise Line is bringing full holiday cheer to Celebration Key this season, marking the first time the cruise line’s exclusive Grand Bahama destination is celebrating the holidays since opening earlier this year.
Holiday Décor Transforms the Island

The island has been transformed into a festive tropical wonderland with holiday installations throughout the property. Paradise Plaza features larger-than-life stacked gift boxes, while Lokono Cove showcases a 20-foot Celebration Key–themed tree.
Santa’s Village at Starfish Lagoon includes an eight-foot sand sculpture tree crafted in tropical style, maintaining the destination’s island aesthetic while embracing holiday traditions.
Family-Friendly Holiday Activities

For families, Santa will be making special appearances for photos throughout the season, and the popular Junkanoo parade has received a holiday costume update to complement the festive atmosphere.

The Christmas experience extends beyond the island itself, guests sailing during the holiday season will find themed activities, seasonal menus, and special entertainment both at Celebration Key and throughout their cruise, blending Carnival’s signature fun atmosphere with traditional holiday elements.
