Just five months before its debut, Carnival Cruise Line's new private beach area in the Bahamas, Celebration Key, is nearing completion. The destination will open on July 19 when Carnival Vista becomes the first vessel to call there.
Carnival has shared the first photos of this exclusive new location. An aerial view shows progress at Celebration Key over the Calypso Lagoon Portal, an adults-only area. The Suncastle waterslide tower, a central feature of the destination's five portals, is visible amidst scaffolding.
Inside one of Celebration Key's Calypso Lagoon Supervillas, there is a closer look at ongoing construction in the adults-only section. During a recent site visit, Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy participated in filling one of two large freshwater lagoons on-site. Together these lagoons hold about 7 million gallons of freshwater that will be desalinated by an on-property system.
