Passengers disembark and enter through the Celebration Key Sun Portal, a photo-worthy spot. From there, passengers can head to the Suncastle, a 10-story structure adorned with massive conch shells. The Suncastle features two water slides, each more than 350 feet long, inviting guests to friendly competition in a race down to the splash finish.
Celebration Key is also home to Calypso and Starfish Lagoons, which comprise the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean. Calypso Lagoon is perfect for those seeking an adult-friendly place to cool off, complete with DJ island and Mingo’s Tropical Bar & Kitchen. This bar and kitchen also happen to house the world’s largest swim-up bar with 166 in-water seats.

The destination’s Over-the-Lagoon Super Villas are also available to book, accommodating up to 10 guests with sofa and armchair seating, locking cabinets, dining table with eight chairs, mini fridge stocked with water and soft drinks, ceiling fans, hammocks, swing chairs, sun loungers, fresh fruit, lunch delivery, and more.
Pearl Cove Beach Club, meanwhile, is an exclusive retreat for guests aged 18 and older. A secluded entry opens out to a 11,000-square-foot infinity pool with a large sun shelf, sun loungers and swim-up bar. A DJ is on deck to play tropical lounge music, and just past the pool is a private beach with sun loungers and beachside food and drink service.
