Discover Carnival

Carnival provides endless amounts of entertainment, day or night! You'll always have something to do while on board with stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos, or a dive-in movie. If you want to get your heart pumping, there’s no shortage of things for you to experience. You can race down a waterslide at WaterWorks, ride on SkyRide or Bolt, and take a crack at the onboard rope course.

Whether you want a quick bite to eat in between your activities or want to enjoy an elegant dinner, you’ll find something that will put a smile on your face. Enjoy a burger from Guy’s Burger Joint, where celebrity Guy Fieri has brought his expertise on board to bring you a mouthwatering meal. 

On some ships, you can even enjoy a chicken sandwich at Shaq’s new chicken restaurant, Big Chicken! Putting the big names aside, you can enjoy options that will fulfill any craving, from pizza to sushi to Mexican food!

Carnival Cruise Line has over 1500 shore excursions across all its destinations, meaning you’re sure to find an experience that will make your vacation even more unbelievable! 

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can kayak in the Chavon River in the Dominican Republic, take an ATV jungle and beach adventure in Cozumel, or even snorkel in underground caverns in Yucatan, Mexico. 

If you want to make it a historical or cultural day, you can take tours of the castles of North Zealand in Denmark, the Colosseum in Rome, or even a tour of famous movie sites in Sicily, Italy! 

Whether you want to spend your day at the water or the shops, there’s sure to be an excursion that will satisfy you.

Carnival Cruise Line has 23 ships that operate 2- to 17-day voyages, departing from every coast in the U.S. 

While they're best known for Caribbean cruises, they sail to other exotic and amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe, and Hawaii. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line Australia has two ships and offers cruises from Sydney and Brisbane to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Carnival is building a new destination from the ground-up! Nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island, Celebration Key is Carnival's all-ages private island, designed exclusively for Carnival guests and opening in Summer 2025. Here, you'll find 5 distinct areas:

1. Paradise Plaza - Enjoy a treat from the ice cream shop or stop for a splashy photo-op by the Bahamian-inspired fountain. Keep an ear open for live music, too, as you decide what to do first. And off in the distance, it’s a Suncastle featuring waterslides and an observation deck. Okay, off you go!
2. Calypso Lagoon - Calypso Lagoon is the adult-friendly portal, and it’s all about the sand, sun and fun… and there’s about as much lively action to find as there are ways to chill. Relax on a float, try a lounger by the lagoon, go full-cabana, hang at a bar where all the seats are actually swings, or get in the game at the sports court.
3. Starfish Lagoon - Perfect for kids and families, you can experience activities like the lagoon and beach, splash pad with shallow pool, plus basketball, volleyball, pickleball and more at the game pavilion.
4. Adults-Only Private Portal - Membership features private access to the beach, a stunning infinity pool overlooking the best views of Bahamian waters, elevated dining to savor and more. 
5. Lokono Cove - Lokono Cove is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture and shopping whose authenticity extends from the name to much of what’s for sale. Among the kiosks include local artist exhibitions, a mural wall, live music performances… plus artisanal goods made by Bahamian vendors, so you can bring home a piece of paradise for yourself.
