Currently in the final stages of construction at Fincantieri's Monfalcone shipyard, the vessel had a full contingent of officers, technicians and engineers on board who thoroughly tested Carnival Vista’s navigation, technical and mechanical systems. 

Following its inaugural sailing, Carnival Vista will operate eight- to 13-day Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona and Piraeus.  The ship will then reposition to New York in November for a pair of 11-day voyages before launch year-round Caribbean service from PortMiami later that month.
