Carnival Cruise Line Unveils Your Peek at Paradise Series for Exclusive Celebration Key Insights

Carnival Cruise Line has officially announced the launch of a groundbreaking series titled Your Peek at Paradise, aimed at providing travel advisors with an exclusive glimpse into the eagerly anticipated Celebration Key, set to open its doors in July 2025. This initiative, designed to commemorate Global Travel Advisor Day, consists of a five-part event series extending travel advisors the unique opportunity to be among the first to experience Celebration Key. This initiative is not just an early sneak peek but a comprehensive insight session involving Carnival’s leadership team, discussing the cruise port’s vision, design, and development phases.

Each event in the series is strategically planned across various locations, starting in Miami on June 8, and making stops in Baltimore, Md. on July 13; Atlanta, Ga. on Aug. 17; and Chicago, Ill. on Sept. 14, with a simultaneous virtual event on the latter date. A significant highlight for attendees is the ‘Golden Key’—a promise of potentially unlocking an early access trip to Celebration before it becomes open to the public. This summer, ten grand prize winners will be awarded this trip, alongside fifteen fortunate first prize winners who will each receive a $500 Carnival gift card.

Your Peek at Paradise is presented in association with The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments, and Aviation. The series promises an immersive experience into Bahamian culture through flavors, authentic performances by a Bahamian Junkanoo band, and experiences reflecting the five unique portals of Celebration Key—Paradise Plaza, Calypso Lagoon, Lokono Cove, an exclusive adult-only private club, and a family-friendly zone. This partnership underscores the commitment to delivering a slice of Bahamian paradise and the unparalleled fun Carnival is renowned for.

This initiative also extends a platform for travel advisors to contribute to a noble cause, supporting Carnival’s charitable partner, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In recognition of donations of $25 or more to St. Jude’s, Carnival will gift donors commemorative Travel Agents Rock T-shirts, blending philanthropy with professional enrichment. Open to all travel advisors in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, this series not only offers an exclusive exploration of Carnival’s exciting new destination but also champions a meaningful cause.

Celebration Key itself promises an array of unique and authentic experiences across its five distinct areas, designed to cater to a wide range of interests and age groups. From the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, a breathtaking white sand beach, an exclusive adult-only private club, spaces earmarked for family fun, to an eclectic mix of dining venues and libation stations—all set against the backdrop of Grand Bahama’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Carnival Cruise Line aims to revolutionize the private island experience, positioning Celebration Key as a premier destination that allows guests to unlock their version of paradise.
