Celebration Cruise Holdings Inc.

Ship Owners

Celebration Cruise Holdings Inc. was the parent company of Celebration Cruise Line, a small cruise line that primarily operated out of the Port of Palm Beach in Florida. The company was known for offering short, affordable cruises, typically to the Bahamas. Celebration Cruise Line began operations in March 2009 and provided a niche product in the cruise industry, differentiating itself by focusing on brief, budget-friendly trips.

The primary ship operated by the line was the MS Bahamas Celebration, which offered various amenities and experiences on board for passengers. These included restaurants, entertainment options, and onboard activities geared towards families, couples, and groups looking for a quick getaway.

However, it's important to note that Celebration Cruise Line ceased operations in 2015 after the Bahamas Celebration suffered significant damage from a collision with an underwater object, which rendered the ship unfit for service. This incident led to the termination of the company's services, and it did not resume operations thereafter.
