By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 28, 2016

Carnival has a major new cruise ship.

Carnival Cruise Line has officially taken delivery of what becomes the line’s newest, largest and most innovative ship, Carnival Vista.

The 3,954-passenger ship will be summering in Europe until it begins operating year-round Caribbean cruise service from Miami in November 2016.

The ship includes new features like a suspended cycling experience called “SkyRide” and the first IMAX theater at sea, among other amenities.

“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.
