At a traditional maritime handover ceremony
held on Thursday at Fincantieri, Carnival Cruise Line took delivery of the
Carnival Vista.
The 3,954-passenger ship will reposition to Trieste, Italy, where it will depart
on its maiden voyage May 1, kicking off a summer schedule in Europe that runs
through October 2016. Following a 13-day trans-Atlantic crossing, Carnival
Vista will operate a pair of 11-day cruises from New York in November 2016 then
launch year-round Caribbean service from Miami later that month.
“Carnival Vista is a spectacular addition to our fleet and we can’t wait for our
guests to experience all of the ship’s exciting new features,” said Christine
Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Carnival Vista will provide our
guests an opportunity to create a lifetime of wonderful vacation memories while
offering our valued travel agent partners another exciting vacation option to
market to their clients,” she added. |
