Carnival Vista to sail year-round out of Miami

PortMiami will be the year-round homeport for Carnival Vista, when it launches six- to eight-day Caribbean cruises beginning in December 2016.

Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the ship will be the largest in the Carnival fleet, with features such as SkyRide, a suspended open-air cycling experience and the world’s first IMAX theatre on a ship and the line’s first onboard brewery.

Carnival Vista will kick off its schedule from PortMiami with a special four-day cruise to Grand Turk departing Nov. 29, 2016.  The ship will then launch year-round six- and eight-day cruises beginning with an eight-day voyage departing Dec. 3, 2016. Six-day cruises feature Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, while a mix of different eight-day itineraries visit some of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations, including Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Maarten and La Romana (Dominican Republic).
