And let's not forget the delectable dining options that cater to every craving, from juicy burgers to gourmet feasts.
So, pack your sunscreen, your adventurous spirit, and your biggest smile! The Carnival Vista Caribbean cruise is waiting to whisk you away on a joy-filled journey to remember. Let's make memories, soak up the sun, and laugh our way through paradise. The countdown to fun is on!
Meet the Carnival Vista
We've built a lot of ships over the years, but for a truly unique experience at sea, you've gotta see Carnival Vista. Carnival Vista has a whole new relationship with the sea, and you get to experience this as you explore the Caribbean with all-new views.
It's only natural that you'll want to start outdoors, so let's. You can't help but have your eye caught by — wait, are those flying bicycles? Pretty much! SkyRide® at SportSquare™ is a twin-track suspended bike course — strap in and race around for the win or just cruise for great views. At Havana Bar™ & Pool you'll find an island retreat that evokes classic Cuban-style lounging with an emphasis on style... and on views, and on traditional cocktails! Carnival WaterWorks™ is packed to the gills with wet ways to get-a-splashin', including Kaleid-O-Slide™ which adds funky light and color effects to the usual 'speed-n-splash' story. If you can't get enough Guy Fieri, we invite you to try Guy's Burger Joint™ and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse™. Rounding out this ship's sunlight highlights is Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™, the low-key grown-up spot that's more lounging and hot tubs than action and adventure. (But Serenity's complimentary chopped salad station gets our inner grown-up excited!)
Indoors, things are every bit as cool. Take RedFrog Pub & Brewery® for example — yes, you read right, the latest incarnation of our Caribbean-cool pub has a fully-functional onboard brewery that produces exclusive craft beers you can enjoy just feet from the brewing kettle. If you do seafood, you'll want to direct your appetite to Bonsai Sushi™ or the seaside Seafood Shack™, while JiJi Asian Kitchen® and Cucina del Capitano® are prepared to satisfy cuisine-specific cravings. Of course, Carnival Vista features a Dr. Seuss Bookville™ and youth activities for all kinds of kids (the smallers, the tallers, and the in-betweens). On the stateroom side, Carnival Vista adds two new types of rooms to the mix: Family Harbor is a special area reserved for families and features a private lounge. All Havana staterooms and suites are located just off the Havana Bar & Pool and it features a unique tropical décor, while Havana Cabanas add a patio with a hammock chair!
One last thing you should know: on Carnival Vista more onboard places than ever before span the indoors and outdoors — so whether you set the thermostat to 'cool-and-crisp' or 'sea-breezy perfection' you'll enjoy your kind of Caribbean comfort on Carnival Vista.

Cruise to Princess Cays and you’ll come ashore in Love Boat Marina — a sign that this private resort on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas was designed to be classic cruising perfection. Make landfall and discover an island’s worth of vacation fun and amenities. You’ll find a BBQ pit already fired up for lunch, and a supervised kids’ area ready to receive the little ones. Somewhere among the palm trees you might spy the exclusive adult-only retreat. By now it’s clear that Princess Cays is good for more than just a beach day, but plan on fitting one in any way — this wouldn’t be a prime cruise destination without great things to do, and great ways to get wet, like swimming, kayaking and sailing.
Things to Do
- Rent a private beach bungalow and enjoy your stay in air-conditioned comfort.
- Browse the shops for authentic, handmade Bahamian crafts.
- Tour Princess Cays by dune buggy and sailboat to get the best views from all angles.
Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
Let the name fool you — Grand Turk, of the Turks & Caicos islands, may be small but it’s packed with scenic punch and historic charm. Carnival cruises to Grand Turk deliver you to this enchanted island outpost dotted with old windmills, grassy trails, and picture-perfect beaches. Discover an oasis of green set in aquamarine seas, ringed by a pristine coral reef and the steep wall of the continental shelf.
Things to Do
- Swim in the sparkling turquoise seas off Governor’s Beach.
- Tour historic Cockburn Town and the old salt pans.
- Shop for duty-free jewelry and local crafts in the colorful Grand Turk Cruise Center.
- Feel the velvety touch of a stingray’s wings in Gibbs Cay.
Discovering new sights is one of the beauties of travel, and that couldn't be more true when it comes to Amber Cove®, Dominican Republic. In this world full of information on just about everything, Amber Cove is a throwback — it’s the kind of quiet little spot you won’t find on most maps. But you will find it — brimming with bars and pools, plus opportunities for lounging and shopping — to be the gateway to island paradise, Dominican-style. Beyond Amber Cove is Puerto Plata, a town that began life as the first European settlement in the Americas. Its founder? Oh, just a guy named Christopher Columbus… so you know that arriving by sea is the ultimate way to get here. Whether you're looking for a day at the beach, some Dominican Republic adventure, or just a little poolside me-time, Amber Cove is just the ticket.
Things to Do
- Explore Fort San Felipe, originally built to ward off pirates, which today welcomes curious travelers of all kinds.
- This spot is known for its remarkable local amber — actually, the clearest you’ll find anywhere in the world.
- Take a ride on the wild side on an amazing ATV Adventure tour through the undiscovered Dominican Republic backcountry!
- Swim with dolphins, stingrays — and yes, even sharks! — at Ocean World.

Deluxe Family (6M)On Carnival Vista, Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are a great choice for families who want to let the sun shine in as they sail. Rooms of this type feature great views, a full bathroom — plus a separate washroom — and while stateroom configurations vary, certain Deluxe Ocean View rooms have space to sleep up to five cruisers.
Balcony (8B)Balcony staterooms were designed for the maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Vista. Any time you're in your room, you're just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.
