Carnival Cruise Line has unveiled the name for its newest Vista-class cruise ship: Panorama.

The 133,500-ton ship is scheduled to make its debut in the fall of 2019, the third in the company’s Vista-class series.

Panorama will join its two sister ships: Carnival Vista, which launched in 2016, and Carnival Horizon, which is slated to come on line in April 2018.

All three are the largest ships ever built for the company.

“Carnival Panorama is the perfect name to reflect the design inspiration of our Vista-class ships providing more venues and opportunities to connect with the sea,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Carnival Panorama will offer a wide variety of fun indoor and outdoor experiences along with exciting one-of-a-kind features that will provide our guests with a lifetime of wonderful vacation memories,” she added.

Panorama is currently under construction at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard in Italy.
