Carnival reveals adults-only ‘portal’ at Celebration Key

The island is in Grand Bahama in the Caribbean and will open in July 2025.

The Pearl Cove Beach Club will feature a secluded entry opening to views of an 11,000-square-foot private infinity pool with a large sun-shelf, water loungers and a swim-up bar.  

There will be a dedicated, private beach with sun loungers, accompanied by beachside food and drink service, as well as a full-service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.

Additionally, Carnival has opened bookings for the Pearl Cove Beach Club, shore excursions, supervillas, cabanas and daybeds for guests booked on cruises visiting Celebration Key, beginning in July 2025.

The Pearl Cove Beach Club includes three options: club access plus a welcome drink; club access plus open bar, and club access all-inclusive, which includes food from the restaurant.

Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said: “Celebration Key will give our guests elevated options and experiences across its five ‘portals’ and we’ve specifically designed Pearl Cove Beach Club as the perfect place for adults to lounge, unwind or relax in their own paradise. Guests booked on cruises to Celebration Key can now start planning their day as we open reservations for Pearl Cove, along with daybeds, cabanas and our unique supervillas, as well as shore excursions that celebrate the culture and beauty of Grand Bahama.”

The cruise line has previously unveiled information about four other ‘portals’ on Celebration Key, including the family friendly Starfish Lagoon, Paradise Plaza welcome area, Calypso Lagoon adult-friendly area and Lokono Cove shopping village.

Celebration Key will be on more than 500 itineraries, via 18 Carnival ships sailing from nine US homeports. Up to two Carnival ships will dock at an adjacent cruise pier that allows guests direct access to the island.
