Carnival Cruise Line has announced that the third vessel in its new Vista class will join its fleet 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 in late 2019.
The ship will offer many of Carnival’s popular guest features, a wide range of accommodation types and a number of new amenities unique to this vessel. The ship’s name, homeport and itinerary details will be announced at a later date.
Carnival Horizon, the second ship in the Vista class, is slated for delivery in March 2018, said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Duffy also said that the introduction of these ships to the Carnival fleet provides the opportunity to offer the Vista class experience from a variety of homeports in addition to creating new itinerary options across the balance of the Carnival Cruise Line fleet as this additional capacity is integrated into the deployment mix.
