To celebrate Global Travel Advisor Day, Carnival Cruise Line has announced its upcoming summer event series for travel advisors titled “Your Peek at Paradise.” This series will provide an in-depth preview of Celebration Key, Carnival’s new exclusive destination set to open in July 2025. Comprising five events, the series offers travel advisors a unique glimpse into the future cruise port, with insights from Carnival’s top executives on its vision, design, and construction. The series begins in Miami on June 8, followed by events in Baltimore, Maryland on July 13; Atlanta, Georgia on August 17; and Chicago, Illinois on September 14, including a simultaneous virtual event.
Participants will receive a ‘Golden Key’ that could unlock an early access trip to Celebration Key before it opens to the general public. Throughout the summer, ten grand prize winners will be selected to experience this preview, and an additional fifteen first prize winners will each receive a $500 Carnival gift card.
“Our travel advisor partners tell us exclusive destinations are often the most popular among many of their clients, so we’re utilizing this year’s summer series to give them exclusive insight that will enrich their expertise even before our opening,” said Adolfo M. Perez CTC, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Trade Marketing at Carnival Cruise Line. “Celebration Key will be a premiere destination and we’re excited to share this inside look at our plans for it with our travel advisors so they can take their clients’ dream vacations to the next level.”
These events are hosted in partnership with The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments, and Aviation, showcasing the allure of Celebration Key with Bahamian culinary tastes, authentic Junkanoo band performances, and activities inspired by the destination’s five zones: Paradise Plaza, Calypso Lagoon, Lokono Cove, an exclusive adult-only club, and a family-friendly area. This immersive experience embodies the vibrant spirit of The Bahamas and the festive atmosphere Carnival is famous for.
Additionally, each event offers travel advisors the chance to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In exchange for donations of $25 or more to St. Jude, Carnival will provide special commemorative Travel Agents Rock T-shirts.
