This new-build is the largest ship Fincantieri has ever built for the Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet.

The ship will feature diverse restaurants, outdoor eateries and bars, with dining facilities such as the American steakhouse Fahrenheit 555, and Japanese restaurant Bonsai Sushi.

A unique feature of Carnival Vista is its SkyRide outdoor activity, which is an industry-first, pedal-powered, open-air cycling ride on an 800ft track suspended 150ft above the sea.

The vessel will be homeported year-long at PortMiami.
