Carnival Celebration is an Excel-class cruise ship and the largest vessel in Carnival's fleet, built by Finnish shipyard Meyer Turku. The ship features Bolt, the world's second roller coaster at sea, along with an extensive water park and sports center. A unique onboard feature is The Gateway zone, which celebrates the cruise line's 50th anniversary with replica and original items from retired Carnival ships dating back to the original Mardi Gras.
