Carnival to add third Vista-class ship in 2019

Carnival Cruise Line will welcome the third vessel in its Vista class series in 2019, when a new 133,500-ton cruise ship joins the fleet.

Scheduled to launch 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 around the same time.

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.
