Onboard Fun

You’re on a ship that’s nearly the length of three footy fields and every square metre of it is packed with things to do/see/taste/try.

So, welcome to your new home away from home. How about a tour? You’ll notice the sports court, a choice of swimming pools and an outdoor jogging track. Over there you’ll find our Spa Carnival and two-deck fitness centre, the primo destinations for aromatherapy massages and workouts with amazing ocean views.

7 Things you'd never do at home:

  • Zoom down the Twister Waterslide. You'll cool off and be drenched in fun.
  • Island Hop. Today, Mystery Island. Tomorrow, Isle of Pines!
  • Snooze away the afternoon on a white sand beach in Emerald Bay. Sweet dreams guaranteed.
  • Cruise the late night buffet.
  • Pretend you're James Bond at the poker table. Tux, martini and Bond girl optional.
  • Watch the sun rise over the ocean from your own private balcony. You're the king (or queen) of the world!
  • Eat ice cream 24/7. Cool!

    You Have Something to Celebrate

    We want everyone to enjoy what we are famous for — FUN!

    Celebrations

    You have big reasons. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Graduations. Job promotions. Things that make you feel like, well, celebrating. Only you know what makes you want to have a party, pop open the champagne or bring out the cake. But at Carnival, we know how to turn whatever reason you have into an even greater event.

    And if it's a family vacation, keep in mind that Carnival has three supervised programs for your kids: Camp Carnival for youngsters 2-11, Circle "C" for kids 12-14 and Club O2 for teens 15-17. There are also connecting staterooms that are ideal for families. So, plan on a cruise where there's no such thing as a one-day celebration.

    Romance

    It's easy to see why so many couples choose a Carnival cruise. So many of our spacious staterooms have private balconies. Our reservations-recommended steakhouses are the perfect setting for a special occasion. The nights are filled with music, dancing, late-night shows and -- wow -- night skies filled with billions of stars.

    So, join us for a major event like a golden anniversary, or a sudden excuse to take a cruise, like buying new sunglasses. But find a reason, any reason, to celebrate. Then book a Carnival cruise vacation.

    Family Reunions

    Being with all the people you like is a celebration in itself. Which is why Carnival is the perfect choice for a reunion for any family, college and university. It's a great setting for a retreat for your business, church or organization. It makes a wedding even more romantic. And for a girlfriends' getaway, it's inspired.

    With so many pools, dining choices, indoor/outdoor activities and exciting destinations, there's something for every guest of every age.
