Carnival Cruise Line, in cooperation with the Grand Bahama Port Authority and the Government of the Bahamas, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new cruise port destination on Grand Bahama Island.

The new Carnival Grand Bahama cruise port destination, which is scheduled to open in late 2024, is being developed on the south side of the island.

The cruise port development includes a pier able to accommodate up to two Excel-class ships simultaneously. Guests will also be able to explore Grand Bahama by sea via a dedicated shore excursion dock or by land via a dedicated ground transportation hub.

The cruise port itself will also feature an area designated as a nature reserve and an interior pool feature, along with many Bahamian-operated retail, food and beverage options.
