Cruise Highlights:

 

Port of Call: Celebration Key, The Bahamas

New Exclusive Destination: Carnival is creating something truly special for the first time ever — a destination built from the ground up, exclusively for Carnival guests! Located on the stunning south side of Grand Bahama Island, this 65-acre paradise offers endless fun and relaxation for all ages. Whether you're craving adventure or laid-back vibes, Celebration Key™ has it all: a mile-long white sand beach, the Caribbean's largest freshwater lagoons, local Bahamian cuisine and shopping, an adults-only beach club, and unique excursions. Opening summer 2025—stay tuned for more details

 

Port of Call: Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Nestled in the lush, emerald landscape of Jamaica, Ocho Rios is a prime cruise destination that offers an unforgettable experience. When your Carnival cruise docks here, you’ll be just steps away from some of the Caribbean's most legendary resorts and the breathtaking Dunn's River Falls. Savor the best of Jamaica, whether you're riding through vibrant sugarcane fields or touring the waterfront home where a famous English novelist crafted his iconic secret agent thrillers. With the reggae rhythm as your soundtrack and action-packed adventures like climbing Dunn's River Falls, a cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, feels like stepping into a blockbuster film—where you're the star.

 

Port of Call: Limón, Costa Rica

Cruise to Costa Rica and discover why the locals are often called the happiest people in the world. Costa Rica's abundant ecotourism treasures await you! Soar above lush rainforests, feel the mist from cascading waterfalls, and swim in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. These experiences make Limón, Costa Rica, a premier destination for eco-adventures. Don't forget to explore the city itself, a key hub for the millions of bananas shipped northward each year.

 

Port of Call: Grand Turk

Grand Turk, part of the Turks & Caicos islands, may be small, but it packs a punch with its stunning scenery and historic charm. Carnival cruises to Grand Turk take you to this enchanting island, dotted with old windmills, grassy trails, and picture-perfect beaches. Discover an oasis of green surrounded by aquamarine seas, encircled by a pristine coral reef, and the dramatic drop-off of the continental shelf.

 

Port of Call: Colón, Panama

Some see Colón as the gateway to the Panama Canal, the engineering marvel that links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Others know it as the Caribbean's second-largest duty-free port, perfect for shopping and exploring. On your Carnival cruise to Colón, you'll experience both sides – indulge in world-class shopping and marvel at the brilliant plumage of toucans in the lush rainforest. Colón is the ideal base for discovering the canal and Panama's nearby ecological treasures.

 

Panama Canal, Partial Transit

Best known for connecting east to west, the Panama Canal is the right thing in the right place for speeding up transit by sea. But what about taking it slow? It's great for that too! With its mouth located on the Atlantic near the city of Colón, this decades-in-the-making canal flows past the lush green scenery surrounding the canal's impressive Gatun Locks, on its way towards the expanse of Lake Gatun itself. You'll go with the flow as you enter - and exit - the lake through these locks, getting two chances to take in up-close views of the land.

Carnival Pride

 

Carnival Pride charms, alright - it's a treat for your eyes, your taste buds... and of course, your fun buds. Invite them all to come enjoy the vacation that this ship is proud to offer.

 

Refurbished in 2023, the Carnival Pride invites you to dine refined, from the zen-like simplicity of Bonsai Sushi to the art deco ocean liner inspiration of the Normandie Restaurant, to the American-Traditional style of Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse. And of course there's real, delectable substance under all that style. But for something a little more casual, loosen your tie... or maybe just throw it away and grab a main course (and fries) from their main man Guy Fieri, at Guy's Burger Joint. The Mexican heat's optional at BlueIguana Cantina, but make your next stop Cherry on Top™ - their candy-and-more store - where everything's sweet. And to raise a glass to important sacrifices of the past, Heroes Tribute Bar makes remembrance its primary objective.

 

You'll find yourself with room to move at the Beauties Dance Club, and a hard time sitting still at Playlist Productions. All around this cruise ship you'll discover even more ways to stay cool, like an adult-only pool at Serenity, a fun-only midship pool featuring a retractable roof, plus Carnival Pride's splashy onboard waterpark, Carnival WaterWorks. And if all the waterslide action leaves you needing a little extra unwinding, we recommend you dry off and head to the Cloud 9 Spa.
