Carnival Cruise Line's "new exclusive destination" is officially welcoming guests who sailed in this morning on the Carnival Vista.

Celebration Key is now open in the Bahamas. It is the "first exclusive destination" for the brand, according to a media release, and "includes five portals of fun" that offer something for all ages of travelers.

"Celebration Key is a beautiful destination that I know will be extremely popular with our guests, but it’s also a beautiful representation of the great partnership between Carnival and the people of Grand Bahama," Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said in a statement.

"This is the first major project to be completed on the island of Grand Bahama in 20 years or more, and we’re proud to be the cruise line to bring it to fruition," she said.
