When we talk about this new ship, Carnival Celebration, both words matter. Carnival suggests an amazing vacation every time, and Celebration wow, there's just so much there to smile about! First off is a nod back to the original MS Celebration, a true cruising classic. But there's also all those amazing times to come! When the new ship sets sail from Miami in 2022, we'll be marking Carnival's 50th birthday year (born in '72, baby) as a tribute to all the fun we've shared at sea. And that's just the kick-off, you're also pre-invited to so many years of fun on Carnival Celebration!

We're counting on guests like you to bring that unique spirit, but you can bet this ship's gonna have the features to match your vacation expectations. Just like sister ship Mardi Gras, we're building six "zones"into Carnival Celebration, themed areas that bring together incredible experiences and flavor. And as the second ship ever with BOLT that's our onboard rollercoaster, we'll make sure it's every bit as speedy and thrilling as the original.

Carnival Celebration also marks the return of innovations like Bonsai Teppanyaki, RedFrog Tiki Bar, Family Feud Live, Havana Bar, Seuss at Sea, Playlist Productions and more. That right there ought to be enough fun for anybody, but there's also so much more new stuff we'll be revealing as construction happens.
