The city of Miami is moving closer to attract more visitors with new travel destinations that are themed for the culture and events around the time of Carnival. The latest destination unveiled, called New Miami, will be a carnival-themed zone featuring food trucks and street entertainment all in one location on Feburary 25th from 12pm – 1030pm.,
The “miami carnival 2022” is a new zone that has been revealed for the 2019 Carnival Celebration. The zone will be based on Miami, Florida and will feature a variety of activities.
Carnival Cruise Line has released additional information about a unique neighborhood zone that will debut on the next Carnival Celebration of the Excel class. The new area will pay respect to Carnival Cruise Line’s headquarters, the ship’s principal homeport, and the city where the company was founded — Miami.
The Secret of 820 Biscayne
The “820 Biscayne” themed neighborhood, named after Carnival’s original headquarters location, will showcase the culture, architectural styles, and cuisines of the city where the line was started in 1972.
“Miami has been our home for 50 years, and we wanted to offer some extra love to the city that helped us become who we are today by bringing a brand new ship to its port,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
“We can’t think about where we began without thinking about Miami and all of the pleasure that it symbolizes,” Duffy said. “Carnival Celebration will honor all things Carnival, merging where we have been with where we are heading.”

On Carnival Celebration’s sister ship, Mardi Gras, 820 Biscayne will be positioned on Deck 8, in the same area as the Italian-themed La Piazza. The famed Rudi’s Seagrill and Cucina del Capitano speciality restaurants will be included in the zone, but their layouts and décor will be redesigned with a tropical, Miami flavor.
Similarly, the ship’s 24-hour pizza and deli restaurant will feature more colorful, themed decor, as well as menu updates featuring Florida-Cuban fusion flavors.
“We wanted to keep giving our guests the delicious and fun offerings they’ve come to expect from Mardi Gras, but with new identities that pay tribute to Miami’s rich culture, a city that is so special to all of us,” said Ben Clement, senior vice president of new builds, refurbishment, and product innovation.
Bar 820 will also serve Miami-themed cocktails throughout the day and night, ranging from Cuban and speciality coffees for early risers on their way outdoors for some morning sunlight to tropical frozen drinks and inventive martinis.

Guests will be treated to a distinct perspective of Miami throughout this zone. Guests will feel as though they’re wandering around the ‘305’ or riding down Ocean Drive, thanks to magnificent artwork and entertaining picture possibilities like posing with flamingos on skateboards. Throughout the zone, visitors will see Art Deco typefaces, vivid colors, and tropical designs, giving them a taste of South Florida.
“We attempted to recreate all of that in 820 Biscayne – from the tropical vibe and original Art Deco designs that can still be seen on Miami Beach today to the contemporary city appearance of Brickell – and, of course, with a strong focus on the exquisite tastes throughout,” Clement added.

More Zones to Visit
Aside from 820 Biscayne, Carnival Celebration passengers will have access to a variety of unique neighborhood zones. The cruise company said that the ship would combine aspects from previous Carnival Cruise ships to pay respect to the brand’s heritage in a first look released last month, and now 820 Biscayne will continue that ode to all things Carnival.
The Ultimate Playground, which includes waterslides, miniature golf, a children’s aqua park, SportSquare, a ropes course, and the BOLT roller coaster, will be one of the ship’s six distinct zones.

The ship’s central atrium, Celebration Central, will host spectacular spectacles and performances, as well as bingo games, live music, and other entertainment. To harmonize with the atrium’s ever-changing entertainment, the atrium’s floor-to-ceiling windows will transform into 16 independently controlled LED displays.
JavaBlue Café, Bonsai Sushi, The Watering Hole poolside bar, RedFrog Tiki Bar, Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken restaurant, guest-favorite Guy’s Burger Joint, Seafood Shack, Street Eats, and more will all be part of the Carnival Celebration.
Carnival Celebration is set to launch in November 2022 as the climax of the cruise line’s year-long celebration of its 50th birthday.
