Carnival Vista Returning to Port Canaveral

Carnival Vista is returning to her homeport of Port Canaveral following a 30-day dry dock where she received several enhancements including Carnival’s signature red, white, and blue hull livery, a new Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, retail stores, a teen club, an arcade, and an expanded casino. The Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, which is an expanding venue across the Carnival fleet, honors military veterans and active-duty service members. The casino was expanded with a new layout and a separate non-smoking annex.

For shoppers, there’s an all-new Effy Jewelry store and a new Cherry on Top. A new Club O2 for teens was created in a new location and the ship’s arcade was relocated and redone as well. The Lido Marketplace was also refreshed with a new look.

The 4,000-guest Carnival Vista will resume year-round sailing from Port Canaveral, offering mostly six- and eight-day itineraries that feature popular destinations, including Half Moon Cay, Bahamas; Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos; Aruba; San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Maarten and St. Thomas. The vessel is part of Carnival’s four-ship deployment in Central Florida, which is also home to Carnival Freedom, Carnival Liberty, and Mardi Gras.
