Carnival Vista is the lead ship of the Vista class, delivered in 2016 at about 133,600 gross tons carrying roughly 3,934 guests.
She introduced several firsts for Carnival: the SkyRide suspended pedal-track, a full IMAX Theatre, a working brewery at sea in the RedFrog Pub, and an expanded Havana section of Cuban-themed staterooms. Built by Fincantieri, she sails Caribbean itineraries and set the pattern for sisters Horizon and Panorama.
