Carnival Vista is a cruise ship built for Carnival Cruise Line, which was delivered on April 28th 2016.[9] Sea trials were completed in March 2016. The ship's maiden voyage embarked on May 1, 2016 from Trieste, Italy on a 13 day Europe Cruise that ended in Barcelona, Spain.

Design and construction

By gross tonnage (and therefore volume), she is the largest ship within Carnival Cruise Lines's fleet. The ship was under construction in the Fincantieri shipyard of Monfalcone (Gorizia) and was expected to be delivered by April 2016. The first steel for the ship was cut in late February 2014, and the keel was laid in October 2014.[9] The Carnival Vista Coin Ceremony/Float out was done in June 2015. [10]

Carnival Vista is the first Carnival cruise ship fitted with ABB Azipod propulsion units since the 2004-built Carnival Miracle.[8]

Home port

Vista is operating an inaugural season in the Mediterranean from May to October 2016 before repositioning to New York to offer a pair of round trip cruises. She will then move to her new homeport in Miami in November 2016 where she will sail year around. She will offer 6 and 8 day Caribbean cruises with ports of call such as Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire.[11]

Features

Carnival Vista features outdoor spots like Havana Bar & Pool, a ropes course, mini golf, SkyRide at SportSquare (an 800-foot-long track suspended around its top deck that passengers can circle in pedal-powered capsules[12]), and Seafood Shack plus plenty of spaces like the first IMAX at sea. The Vista has custom Cuban themed staterooms and new Family Harbor staterooms. The Clubhouse features indoor activities like mini-bowling and arcade-style basketball, soccer, volleyball, and table tennis. The ship also has SkyGreens, a mini golf course on Deck 12.
