Two American cruise passengers died in separate drowning incidents Friday at Carnival Cruise Line’s new private destination in the Bahamas, less than a month after the $600 million property welcomed its first visitors, as reported by Fox News.

According to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, a 79-year-old man and a 74-year-old woman died at Celebration Key, Carnival’s new private port facility on Grand Bahama Island.

Authorities said the man became unresponsive while snorkeling at a beach. A lifeguard pulled him from the water and CPR was administered, but he did not survive. In a separate incident, the woman became unresponsive while swimming in a pool.

She was also pulled from the water by a lifeguard, and CPR was performed, but she was later pronounced dead.

Autopsies are being conducted to determine the official causes of death.

Carnival confirmed the fatalities in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Our lifeguards and medical team responded to two separate water emergency incidents—one in the lagoon and one at the beach,” the spokesperson said.

The cruise line added that one of the victims was traveling on the Mardi Gras and the other on the Carnival Elation. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the guests and their families and our Care Team is providing assistance,” Carnival stated.

Celebration Key officially opened to guests on July 19. Carnival described it as its “largest and most ambitious project ever,” featuring a 10-story sandcastle, two racing waterslides, a shopping village, basketball courts, and an adults-only retreat.

The private destination is expected to initially bring more than two million passengers annually to Grand Bahama. Carnival projects that number will grow to four million by 2028, with the site providing hundreds of long-term jobs for residents of the island.

The port includes a pier that can accommodate two of Carnival’s largest cruise ships simultaneously, and construction is already underway to expand the pier to handle two additional ships.

Authorities in the Bahamas said investigations into both deaths remain ongoing.
