The next Carnival Cruise Lines’
4,000-passenger ship will be
named Carnival Vista to reflect
its emphasis on ocean views.
A COUPLE of vague details have emerged
about the upcoming 135,000 GRT superliner,
set to launch in 2016.
Announced to media onboard Carnival
Sunshine, during its first season in Europe,
company executives said Carnival Vista would
be “extremely connected to the ocean”.
“We’re starting to use the ship names as
a touchstone for how we think about the
design,” Berra added.
Carnival chief marketing officer Jim Berra
explained that the design would maximise
water views from as many public areas as
possible.
“At the end of the day, that is why people are
cruising – they want the salt air, they want the
ocean breeze, they want to look out and see
the ocean.”
Carnival Vista will look different to the line’s
latest ship, Carnival Breeze, although some
spaces will be the same, Berra said.
Changes were most likely in entertainment,
kids clubs and dining, he hinted.
No further information was released about
new features, itineraries or home ports.
After a period of expansion, Vista is the only
ship that Carnival has ordered for delivery over
the next three years.
It will be the 25th vessel in the fleet.
