Highlights

  • Welcome to Carnival Vista, which is recent addition to the fleet. “Vista” in Italian means panoramic views of the ocean along with lots of astonishment. It may be an amateur translation but still, almost precise.

  • Carnival Vista is the ship which was the first to have a IMAX Theatre at sea. The ship’s screen is three decks high and this will enable you to enjoy the Hollywood’s blockbusters with a larger than life experience. Have a blast!

  • Carnival Vista seafood menu will provide you with a panoramic experience of deliciousness. You will be spoilt for choice which include options like lobster rolls, fried clams and crab cakes. All these awaits you at Carnival Vista’s England-inspired Seafood Shack.

  • Viewing the sea from the top of the ship is an unmatched sight. Carnival Vista’s SkyRide provides you with the view of the lifetime. SkyRide happens to be first pedal-powered two-lane suspended course on a ship. It is 800 feet of fun.
