word-wrap: break-word;">The 3,954-passenger ship will reposition to Trieste, Italy, where she will depart on her maiden voyage on May 1, kicking off a summer schedule in Europe that runs through October 2016.&nbsp; Following a 13-day transatlantic crossing, Carnival Vista will operate a pair of 11-day cruises from New York in November 2016 then launch year-round Caribbean service from Miami later that month.</p><p style="border: 0px;

word-wrap: break-word;">Carnival Vista offers a number of unique features, including a groundbreaking suspended cycling experience called SkyRide, the first IMAX Theatre at sea and the RedFrog Pub &amp; Brewery offering three different kinds of beer brewed on board.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit;

The ship’s outdoor spaces include a massive WaterWorks aqua park, highlighted by the 455-foot-long Kaleid-o-slide, the longest slide in the fleet.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit;
