Carnival Cruise Line Welcomes Next Roller Coaster at Sea

Carnival Cruise Line is set to welcome its third BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster aboard Carnival Jubilee.

Crews at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany are installing the roller coaster’s 800-foot track on Deck 19 this week. The installation is expected to be complete next month and test runs are scheduled for October.

The award-winning attraction features two all-electric, two-person cars that riders can race up to 40 miles per hour through drops, twists and turns as high as 187 feet above the water line.

Already, more than 150,000 guests have experienced BOLT aboard Carnival Jubilee’s sister ships Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. It became the first roller coaster at sea in 2021 with the debut of Mardi Gras.

Starting December 23, 2023, Carnival Jubilee will operate year-round from Galveston, Texas, sailing week-long Western Caribbean voyages and visiting popular destinations such as Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.
