In The News: Carnival Announces Another Vista Class Vessel

Carnival Cruise Line to welcome third Vista vessel to their fleet in 2019. The march to bigger and better seems to have no end in sight. To illustrate this we need to look only at today's news from Carnival Cruise Lines as they welcome a third Vista class vessel to fleet in about 3 years.

A new 133,500-ton cruise ship, which will be the third vessel in the company’s Vista class series, will join the Carnival Cruise Line fleet in late 2019. The ship, under contract with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, was originally designated for the P&O Cruises Australia brand. In conjunction with this change, Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Splendor will be transferred to P&O Cruises Australia in late 2019.

The ship will offer many of Carnival’s most popular guest features, a wide range of accommodation types and a number of new innovations unique to this vessel. The ship’s name, homeport and itinerary details will be announced at a later date.

“We are truly thrilled to have another Vista class ship joining our fleet,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Consumer, travel agent and media reaction to the Vista class design has been extraordinary and we are elated to have two additional ships in this spectacular series now joining our fleet – Carnival Horizon, which is scheduled to be delivered in March 2018, and now a third in 2019.”

Duffy added that the introduction of these ships to the Carnival fleet provides the opportunity to offer the Vista class experience from a variety of homeports in addition to creating exciting new itinerary options across the balance of the Carnival Cruise Line fleet as this additional capacity is integrated into the deployment mix. 

The first ship in Carnival's Vista class series, the Carnival Vista debuted this past May, becoming the largest ship in the cruise line's fleet by gross tonnage. Boasting a plethora of unique features, including the first-ever IMAX theater at sea, Carnival Vista quickly won over guests in 2016 and likely has cruise passengers excited for future sailings aboard the Carnival Horizon and now a third ship poised to debut before the end of the decade.
