5-Day The Bahamas from Port Canaveral (Orlando), FL
From the moment you depart Port Canaveral, a world of Bahamian bliss awaits. Your journey aboard the magnificent Mardi Gras begins with a day at sea, where you can explore the ship's incredible amenities and anticipate the adventures ahead. Your first exotic stop is Half Moon Cay, Carnival's private island paradise. Sink your toes into the soft, white sands of this crescent-shaped beach, swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters, or discover vibrant marine life while snorkeling. The idyllic setting offers a perfect escape for ultimate relaxation and exhilarating water activities. Next, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Nassau, the bustling capital of the Bahamas. Wander through its charming streets, marvel at the colorful colonial architecture, browse lively markets for local treasures, and unwind on pristine white-sand beaches. The blend of historical charm and modern amenities ensures a captivating experience for every traveler. The excitement continues at Celebration Key, Carnival Corporation's upcoming private island destination. Designed exclusively for Carnival Cruise Line guests, this lively and immersive Bahamian experience promises endless fun and unforgettable moments before you return to Port Canaveral, refreshed and enriched by your Bahamian escapade.
When we launched our first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, we made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but… here we are! Next year we're launching a brand-new ship with a familiar name. You guessed it: Mardi Gras. We aren't just paying homage to our first ship — in cruising circles this name suggests innovation, signals the start of something big. Oh, and this new Mardi Gras shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. This ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. There's BOLT, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea, Emeril's Bistro 1396 from yes-that-Emeril, Family Feud Live for everybody... plus incredible new bars like The Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller. Everybody can enjoy Mardi Gras, sailing in 2021. Come on down!
