Carnival Vista brings Texas-sized fun to Galveston for guests of all ages with the arrival of the port’s newest and largest ship! The Carnival Vista features such innovations including an onboard brewery, an IMAX Theatre, and two dining venues developed by Food Network Star and longtime Carnival partner Guy Fieri, joins Carnival Freedom and Carnival Valor on year-round departures from Galveston. Together, these three ships operate more than 200 sailings annually carrying more than 600,000 passengers annually – the most in cruising.

Designed to connect guests to the ocean with sweeping views and plenty to do both outdoors and in, Carnival Vista offers an exciting array of groundbreaking features including SkyRide, a suspended open-air cycling experience; an expansive water park highlighted by the colorful 455-foot-long Kaleid-o-slide, the longest in the fleet; and Family Harbor with extra-roomy staterooms and the Family Harbor Lounge.

Carnival Vista offers two distinctly different week-long western Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, visiting the region’s most popular destinations throughout the region. The first itinerary includes calls at Montego Bay; Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, while the other features visits to Mahogany Bay (Isla Roatan); Belize; and Cozumel.

In addition to spectacular beaches and water sports, each of these destinations offers a wide range of landside adventures, including centuries-old ruins and archeological sites, interesting cultural opportunities and a variety of shopping and dining experiences.
