The new cruise will function as the sister ship to the company's popular [Mardi Gras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnival-oasis-2024) and will make its debut in November 2022. The Carnvial Celebration will feature a three-deck atrium dubbed the Celebration Carnival, which has been designed to function as the heart of the new cruise, delivering an ongoing festive party-like environment. The space will include 3,000-square-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, which, at night, will be transformed into 14-foot LED screens. In addition, the ship will include a variety of new entertainment in the form of live music, acrobatic performances, and high-energy shows. “From a design perspective, we are incorporating elements from our former ships, paying homage to the history of Carnival, and also showcasing Carnival Celebration as a modern, innovative, and forward-looking vessel,” said Ben Clement, senior vice president of new builds, refurbishment, and product innovation.
