After departing from Port Canaveral on January 8, the Carnival Cruise Line, Carnival Vista, crossed the Atlantic bound for Spain.
The ship, built in 2016, will undergo a two-week dry dock at the Navantia shipyards in the Bay of Cadiz.
The work expected to be carried out on board the Carnival Vista includes the addition of Carnival's new hull livery, as well as scheduled maintenance, class inspections, and technical work.
The 135,000-ton vessel will also undergo maintenance of its common areas and cabins, as well as an upgrade of its facilities and premises.
After the renovations, the Carnival Vista will cross the Atlantic back to North America before resuming service on February 15.
That day, the ship will depart from Port Canaveral for a three-night cruise to the Bahamas that includes a visit to Nassau, plus a full day at sea.
After repositioning from Galveston in late 2023, the Carnival Vista began an annual program from its new homeport in Central Florida.
The ship's regular program includes six- and eight-night cruises through the southern and eastern Caribbean.
The itineraries include popular stops in both regions, such as Half Moon Cay, Princess Cays, Aruba, Curaçao, San Juan, Santo Tomás, San Martín and Nassau.
The first in a series of three ships known as the Vista Class, the Carnival Vista offers a number of features, including SkyRide, an open-air suspended cycling experience, and the Dreamscape, a three-deck-high LED sculpture located in its main atrium.
This cruise ship, with a capacity for 4,000 passengers, was followed by the Carnival Horizon, built in 2018, and the Carnival Panorama, built in 2019.
Originally built for Costa Cruises, the 2019 Carnival Venezia and the 2020 Carnival Firenze are also considered part of the Vista class.
