Carnival’s New Cruise Port Is Revitalizing Grand Bahama’s Economy

Carnival Corporation’s latest venture, Celebration Key, is rapidly progressing as a private destination designed for cruise passengers.

But notably, the project, expected to bring 2.2 million guests to the Bahamas annually when it opens in 2025, is making headway for its impact on its locale on Grand Bahamas island. It has been revealed that over 85% of the workforce engaged in building the new facility are residents of Grand Bahama.

The construction of Celebration Key, a private port 20 miles east of Freeport, Grand Bahama, involves more than 180 local workers and 29 Bahamian-owned construction companies. This direct employment circulates financial benefits within the community and supports local enterprises.
