Carnival Celebration overview

Carnival Celebration is a nod back to the original MS Celebration, a true classic ship for Carnival Cruise Line. The ship joined the fleet in January 2022 homeported in Miami. The ship is a tribute to Carnival's 50th anniversary year.

Just like sister ship Mardi Gras, Carnival has incorporated six themed “zones” into Celebration to bring together incredible experiences to give passengers a unique onboard experience. Celebration will be the the second ship ever with BOLT, the thrilling onboard rollercoaster.

Carnival Celebration also marks the return of innovative restaurants like Bonsai Teppanyaki, RedFrog Tiki Bar, Family Feud Live, Havana Bar, Seuss at Sea, Playlist Productions and more.
