Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, the 133,500gt Carnival Vista, has successfully completed her final sea trials in the Adriatic Sea.
Currently in the final stages of construction at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard, the 3,954-passenger vessel had a full contingent of officers, technicians and engineers onboard who thoroughly tested Carnival Vista’s navigation, technical and mechanical systems.
Carnival Vista, which will offer various industry firsts, will sail her inaugural cruise from Trieste, Italy on 1 May 2016. Following this, the ship will operate a schedule of eight- to 13-day Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona, Spain and Athens, Greece. Carnival Vista will then reposition to New York, US in November for a pair of 11-day voyages before launching a year-round Caribbean service from Miami, US.
