Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival Cruise Line delivers fun-filled holidays at sea for all ages. From thrilling onboard activities and mouthwatering dining to amazing destinations around the world, every voyage is designed for excitement, relaxation and creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.
Why Choose Carnival Cruise Line?
Carnival is all about lively, easy-going holidays where the whole family can find their fun. Days and evenings are built around activities, casual dining and entertainment, so there is always something going on. The ships sail mainly from ports across the United States, with a huge choice of Caribbean, Bahamas and Mexican itineraries, plus selected cruises in Alaska, Europe and Australia. Expect waterparks, comedy, live shows and children's clubs alongside familiar dining favourites, with optional drinks packages, speciality restaurants and extra experiences there to add if you fancy them.
Casual Dining Favourites
Relaxed, informal dining is where Carnival really shines. You will find meals in the main dining room and the buffet, along with casual venues that change from ship to ship. Popular spots across the fleet can include Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, pizza and soft-serve ice cream. And when you fancy a special night out, speciality restaurants such as the steakhouses, Bonsai Sushi, Teppanyaki and the Chef's Table are there to book for a little extra.
Family Cruises
Carnival's family programme gives children and teenagers their own spaces and activities. Turtles runs sessions for infants from six months, while Camp Ocean is split into age groups for children aged 2 to 11. Circle "C" is for 12 to 14-year-olds, and Club O2 is designed for teenagers aged 15 to 17. Simply register the children before they join in, and the rest of the holiday is yours to enjoy.
Private Island Fun
Celebration Key pairs a mile-long beach with wide freshwater lagoons, family areas, adult-focused spaces, live entertainment and more than 30 places to eat and drink. Starfish Lagoon has sports courts and the Guppy Grotto splash area, while Calypso Lagoon brings a livelier atmosphere for adults. Beach and lagoon access are included, with optional upgrades such as cabanas, waterslides and the adults-only Pearl Cove Beach Club available for an extra cost.
Entertainment Day and Night
There is always something on. Carnival ships run a busy schedule of live music, deck parties, quizzes, karaoke and stage performances throughout the voyage. Many ships feature Playlist Productions, The Punchliner Comedy Club and Piano Bar 88, while selected vessels also offer Family Feud Live and their own signature venues. The mood is upbeat and sociable, especially on the shorter Caribbean and Bahamas cruises, and half the fun is discovering what is on aboard your ship.
Waterparks and Outdoor Fun
Many Carnival ships come with WaterWorks waterparks alongside pools, sports courts and mini golf. Depending on the ship, you might also find ropes courses, SkyRide, Sky Zone and BOLT, the roller coaster aboard Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee. A few of the headline attractions have age, height or weight guidelines, or a small charge, and it is the newer Excel Class ships that pack in the most to try.
