Carnival says the docks at its upcoming Celebration Key private destination, shown in a rendering, will be able to accommodate two of its largest ships at a time.
  • Carnival Cruise Line's new private destination, Celebration Key, is set to open in July 2025.
  • The $500 million project is set to feature resort-like amenities and host 2 million guests a year.
  • Cruise line-run private islands have been big moneymakers for operators like Carnival and Royal Caribbean. 

One of Carnival Cruise Line’s upcoming $500 million projects has the potential to become a massive money tree for the popular operator.
