How many Carnival ships have roller coaster?

More than 150,000 guests have experienced the exhilaration of riding the only roller coasters at sea on Carnival Jubilee's sister ships Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration.



As of March 2026, there are three Carnival ships equipped with the "BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster," which is the world's first roller coaster at sea. These are the Excel-class vessels: the Mardi Gras, the Carnival Celebration, and the Carnival Jubilee. The coaster is an all-electric, motorcycle-style vehicle that allows riders to control their own speed (up to 40 mph) as they navigate a track 187 feet above sea level. Each ride typically consists of two laps and costs approximately $15 per person. While Carnival has announced new ship builds for late 2026 and 2027, the current "BOLT" experience is restricted to these three flagship liners, which serve as the primary hubs for Carnival's high-tech, family-oriented "Fun Ship" entertainment strategy.
