Carnival Elation

Escape from your everyday grind and travel in style with a cruise aboard Carnival Elation, a 70,000+ ton Fantasy-class ship from Carnival Cruise Line that is bound to leave you and your family feeling renewed, reenergized and rejuvenated. Carnival Elation cruises travel year-round to the Bahamas and sometimes offer Eastern Caribbean adventures from Jacksonville, Florida.

Carnival Elation accommodates over 2,100 passengers and boasts an excellent variety of laid-back and lively onboard activities and events as well as comfortable accommodations and an outstanding selection of dining venues. This family-friendly Fun Ship™ is like no other and is a great choice if you are looking for a fun yet affordable cruise vacation. From the many bars and lounges to the onboard youth programs to the pool and beyond, there is something for guests of every age to enjoy during their Carnival Elation cruise!

When Was Carnival Elation Last Refurbished?

Carnival Elation underwent a renovation in 2023 that branded Spa Carnival as Cloud 9 Spa, added a pool lift to Lido Pool, brought cosmetic enhancements, routine hotel maintenance, and more.
