After a transatlantic crossing that started final week, Carnival Vista is now positioned on the Navantia shipyard in Spain.
The 133,596 GT ship, which was the primary Vista-class vessel inbuilt 2016, shall be receiving a brand new hull livery, some common upkeep, and some technical enhancements.
With sister ship Carnival Firenze lower than a mile away on the Bay of Cádiz, Carnival Vista is scheduled to be in dry dock for the following two weeks. Firenze is receiving its “Carnival Enjoyable Italian Fashion” livery and different enhancements earlier than it turns into the second Vista-class ship to sail from Lengthy Seaside, California.
Carnival Vista made headlines in December of 2022 when it was introduced that Vista and Dawn would wish to enter dry dock and a number of other cruises which have been set for early 2024 needed to be cancelled.
Whereas dry docks are normally set far prematurely, typically cruise traces need to make adjustments resulting from shipyard availability and different components that make long-term planning tough.
After dry dock enhancements are full, Carnival Vista will sail again throughout the Atlantic towards Port Canaveral to start providing cruises once more on February 15th.
After its preliminary 3-night crusing to the Bahamas, the Carnival Cruise Line ship will then provide 6- and 8-night cruises out of the Florida cruise port to the Caribbean.
Vista shall be crusing out of Port Canaveral not less than by April of 2026.
- Carnival Vista was as soon as the biggest ship in Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet, till her sister ship Carnival Horizon got here alongside in 2018.
- She has 15 decks and may accommodate over 3,934 passengers at double-capacity.
