Carnival Vista successfully completes final sea trials…
Earlier this week the Carnival Vista successfully completed its final sea trials in the Adriatic Sea. The Vista’s navigation, technical and mechanical systems were all thoroughly tested.
The Vista is currently at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard finalizing its construction. The ship will offer the 2.0 upgrades along with some new exciting features including a cycling in mid air called skyRide, the 1st IMAX theatre at sea, a Kaleid-o-slide water slide (455 ft long), family harbor staterooms and more.
The Carnival Vista will hold 3,954 passengers. It will set sail on its inaugural cruise May 1, 2016 from Trieste. It will then run 8-13 day Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona and Athens. In November the Vista will then reposition to New York briefly before heading to Miami later in the month which will then become her home port where she will be visiting Caribbean itineraries.
