Carnival announces new venue Pearl Cove Beach Club at Celebration Key

Carnival Cruise Line has announced its new destination in the Bahamas, Celebration Key, will feature the new Pearl Cove Beach Club, an exclusive retreat for guests 18 and older.

The cruise line also opened reservations for shore excursions, supervillas, cabanas and daybeds for sailings visiting Celebration Key starting in July 2025.

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

The pool area will offer sun umbrellas, sun loungers and daybeds, with a DJ playing lounge music. 

A private beach with sun loungers and beachside food and drink service will also be available, along with a full-service restaurant, and a bar and lounge with indoor and outdoor seating.

“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,” said Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line. 

“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.”

Reservations for Pearl Cove Beach Club are available through January 2nd, 2026, and include three options: club access plus a welcome drink; club access plus open bar (maximum of 10 drinks); club access, all-inclusive (open bar (maximum of 10 drinks) and food from the Pearl Cove restaurant). 

Celebration Key is a US $600 million development on Grand Bahama Island, and has been carefully planned with expansive spaces and abundant attractions to comfortably host the additional guests expected in 2027. 

Featuring a mile-long, white sand beach, the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, and a range of dining, shopping and entertainment options, Celebration Key will include five distinct areas, known as portals, providing endless ways for guests to spread out, relax and enjoy their own kind of fun.

With a focus on curating a distinctly Bahamian dining, shopping, and entertainment scene, Carnival Corporation is working closely with Bahamian officials and community leaders to recruit local companies, excursion operators, construction workers and entrepreneurs for the many business and job opportunities the development will generate and sustain. 

The company also has hired top Bahamian talent for strategic leadership roles in human resources, operations, and community affairs, and is actively recruiting to fill a number of additional senior positions in the coming months.
