Scheduled to debut in spring 2016, the Carnival Vista will carry 4,000 passengers at double occupancy. Carnival said it will spend the summer of 2016 in Europe before sailing to New York for a series of cruises.
Carnival announced that Carnival Vista also will feature the first IMAX Theater at sea and a record size, 455-foot-long water tube attraction. The ship also will include a pub with a working brewery on site — a first for a line catering to North Americans. Only one other cruise ship, the AIDAblue operated by German line Aida, has a working brewery on board.
The SkyRide will be part of an extended version of the outdoor activity parks that Carnival has installed on new ships that also will have a suspended ropes course. According to the line the area will have a new indoor sports hangout, The Clubhouse at SportSquare¸ featuring mini-bowling, ping-pong, arcade basketball and sports video gaming. The new tube attraction will be part of the biggest water park in the Carnival fleet. Passengers will haeve opportunity to ride it on inflatable one or two-person rafts.
According to Carnival the ship’s Theater will be three decks high and will show the latest Hollywood blockbusters as well as IMAX classics and IMAX documentary films. It’ll be adjacent to a “thrill theater” that will offer a multi-dimensional special effects experience. The two theaters are part of a theater area with concession stand offering popcorn and snacks that Carnival is calling the Carnival Multiplex and billing as the first multi-theater complex at sea.
The Carnival Vista will build on the design of the line’s last new ship, the Carnival Breeze.
