Carnival hails success of Celebration Key agent events

Wednesday, 17 Sep, 2024 0

Carnival Cruise Line’s ‘Your Peek at Paradise’ events for travel advisors focused on the upcoming opening of Celebration Key, have garnered an overwhelming response this summer.

The final event in Chicago brought hundreds of travel advisors together in person and thousands more virtually.

Throughout the series, which also made stops in Miami, Baltimore and Atlanta, 10 travel advisors won a VIP early-access trip to Celebration Key, before it opens to the public.

All advisors in attendance learned insights about the inspiration behind Celebration Key from Carnival executives, including Adolfo M. Perez, SVP of global sales and trade marketing; Amy Martin Ziegenfuss, CMO; and Glenn Aprile, senior director of brand experience and product development.

“Seeing the enthusiasm from our travel advisors during the Your Peek at Paradise series reaffirms how special Celebration Key will be,” said Perez.

Presented in collaboration with The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the series gave attendees a taste of Celebration Key’s offerings.

Each event featured a Bahamian Junkanoo band, Bahamian flavors and a peek into Celebration Key.

At each stop, Carnival also gifted commemorative Travel Agents Rock t-shirts for donations to support the cruise line’s charitable partner St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Earlier this year, Carnival met its previous $33 million fundraising goal for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and set a new pledge goal of $50 million by 2030.

Celebration Key is the first port destination exclusively designed for Carnival Cruise Line guests on the island of Grand Bahama.

It welcomes its first guests in July 2025.

It will offer cruise ship guests two of the Caribbean’s largest freshwater lagoons, a white-sand beach, a 10-story-high “Suncastle” featuring two waterslides and various Bahamian-operated retail, food and beverage options.

Celebration Key consists of five portals for all types of travelers including adults-only Calypso Lagoon, Starfish Lagoon, a family-friendly portal for all ages and Pearl Cove Beach Club, an exclusive adult retreat.

More than 500 sailings are open that feature Celebration Key across 10 homeports and 19 ships.
