We're building our next ship right now. Find out what's new, see what's hot, and learn just what it takes to bring this massive ship to life.

Built to bring you closer to the sea, Carnival Vista opens things up with outdoor spots like Havana Bar & Pool, SkyRide at SportSquare, and Seafood Shack… plus plenty of family- and kid-friendly spaces like the first IMAX at sea. We've even got custom staterooms for Cuban culture lovers, or just families that like to stay close. Join us on this journey - follow along as we build something great.

When it comes to fun and comfort, Carnival Vista staterooms go the extra square foot.

Cloud 9 Spa staterooms on Carnival Vista feature exclusive décor and amenities - Elemis toiletries, plus spa bathrobes and slippers - to help soothe you after a long day of fun. Get priority spa reservations, unlimited access to the thermal suites, free fitness classes, exclusive discounts and more! And you can have comfort and value - Carnival Vista's got a full range of Cloud 9 staterooms, from cozy Interiors to stretch-out Suites.

Here's the most affordable way to experience Carnival Vista, without cutting even a single corner when it comes to comfort. With an Interior stateroom you'll get a full private bathroom, complimentary 24-hour room service - plus linens you can feel at home in - all of which make this a great spot for curling up after a long day's fun.

These comfy rooms with a view let you sail along to beautiful destinations while taking in scenery of the sort you simply won't find anywhere on land. That view isn't all that matters here - Ocean View staterooms on Carnival Vista are a little bit bigger than Interior rooms and feature a supremely loungeable couch for those times when neither lying nor standing will do.

Balcony staterooms believe it's not always enough to be cruisey, but breezy. Any time you're in your Carnival Vista Balcony stateroom, you're steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, designed for maximum sea breeze and that ultimate view that's so stunning, you have to feel it to believe it.

Get all the comforts of home and then some - think whirlpool tub - with absolutely none of the hassles. Since your huge Carnival Vista Suite gives you VIP status, you're our priority when it comes to getting on and off the ship. A Suite is the ultimate way to enjoy Carnival Vista, and the extra comfort definitely helps. So feel free to put your feet up, whether you're passing the time with a soak in the tub or a stretch on the balcony.

Carnival Vista has new and popular dining options to satisfy your inner foodie's palate.

A good seafood dish is quite the catch. However you like yours served - whether it's on a roll, in a salad or atop a platter - Seafood Shack's the place to cast your net. Imagine a New-England-style seaside spot where you can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view. Carnival Vista is where you'll find this shack by the sea, wherever in the world you happen to be!

Every night at dinner you'll find your menu featuring a selection of favorites... and perhaps future favorites, new and surprising dishes to try because your taste buds don't get a vacation. Bring all your buds and gather around a big table for a sit-down meal, complete with a fresh design twist you can't miss. Choose Your Time Dining and do dinner - plus a pre-dinner drink at Horizon's full bar - whenever the time is right.

High cuisine meets great atmosphere at Fahrenheit 555, a dining experience that stands toe-to-toe with some of the best steakhouses on land. This one features your choice of steak cuts, lobster, lamb and more… and inside, there's even a full bar to pour great pairings. Outside, there's seating for dining al fresco. They're the building blocks of an amazing experience - delectable elements that combine with great service to offer an evening to remember.

So maybe you've had sushi before, but you've never had it like Bonsai Sushi, Carnival Vista's onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot. Dine indoors or out, amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and a menu of delectable catches… plus soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time you're taking an onboard stroll, stop at Bonsai Sushi for a roll, a box or maybe a whole ship - it satisfies two.

When you cruise Carnival Vista, take a seat at The Chef's Table. At this gathering of fellow foodies you'll indulge in a cascading series of delectable plates as our chef shows off a little, all to the delight of the discerning palates seated around the table. Dinner is the main event, but prepare to have your eyes opened as you enjoy a galley tour, for a behind-the-scenes look at where the magic happens.

Who's gathered around the table is as important as what's being served at Cucina del Capitano on Carnival Vista. At our table you'll enjoy Italian favorites, family-style, because we know that sharing tales of your day's adventures goes better with large plates and good company. Speaking of which, the walls are adorned with old snapshots from the family albums of our officers, proving that the rustic Italian farmhouse atmosphere is more than skin-deep.

We've teamed up with Guy Fieri to design not only the burgers and fries you'll find at Carnival Vista's onboard burger spot, Guy's Burger Joint, but some of the rustic atmosphere you'd find at, say, a roadside burger shack just off a cool coastal highway. (Surprisingly, flavor and ambience this big will fit on the ship.) So try a signature burger dressed up Guy's way, or take yours off-roading... to the nearby topping bar, where you can make it your own.

BlueIguana Cantina is Carnival Vista's onboard taco and burrito place, featuring freshly made Mexican faves. Because BlueIguana is all about you, we'll throw in your choice of ingredients - meat, veggies and more - and hand it over for the finishing touches that make it your own. So head on over to the salsa bar and fire it up... or if you're not feeling it, that's cool too. Any way you dress it, expect a meal that'll make you say "mmmm."

A modern dining spot inspired by a millennia-old society, Ji Ji Asian Kitchen on Carnival Vista serves up enticing dishes in an eclectic space that brings not just good food, but good fortune to the table. You'll enjoy your meal among Asian prayer rolls and Mongolian-inspired fabrics in this unique culinary experience. Ji Ji offers a full-service menu featuring a mix of exotic and familiar dishes designed to challenge and delight your senses.

Whether indoors or out, Carnival Vista has even more opportunities to play, relax, and have fun.

SportSquare on Carnival Vista makes not only winning - but even simply playing - fun. At the all-new SkyRide, strap in and zip around a bike course high above the deck. The Clubhouse features indoor activities like mini-bowling and arcade-style basketball... while soccer, volleyball and ping-pong are just steps away. Try for a hole-in-one at SkyGreens, sink "threes" on the basketball court, and push yourself to amazing new heights at SkyCourse, our ropes course.

On Carnival Vista you'll find Havana Bar & Pool, an onboard retreat that's an easily-accessible paradise by day… and a hot music-and-dancing spot at night. Grab a seat at the bar and order up handcrafted Cuban cocktails like the classic Mojito or traditional Daiquiri, plus fresh and free Cuban snacks. The bar is just steps from the Havana Pool, whose ocean view and atmosphere mingles with the bar's own, for a bit of that old-time Cuban resort flavor.

Carnival Vista features two theaters, and we call the whole great big thing Carnival Multiplex. Behind door number one is an actual IMAX Theatre in all its big-screen, big-fun glory... the first of its kind you'll find anywhere at sea. And behind door number two? Surprise! It's Thrill Theater, the 3D experience where jump-off-the-screen visuals are only the beginning of a truly moving experience.

The next-generation RedFrog Pub has a little something extra. Carnival Vista has an amazing brewery that churns out its own microbrew options. It's all about the beer here… but everything else there is to love about RedFrog Pub is back - the snacks, the games, the live music, plus atmosphere by the pint.

The Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is a world of complete peace, sea breezes and swaying hammocks. On Carnival Vista, we're taking the chill to new highs with even more options for stretching out and getting comfy. And now, you can get a light bite with a chopped salad station right here. Serenity's the place to do the stuff that's hard to do in everyday life - reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.

Cherries make the already-sweet a little bit sweeter. That's why you'll find Cherry on Top, our candy-and-more store, on Carnival Vista. This is the go-to spot for the sweet stuff… but there are surprises in store, like a premium ice cream counter with goodies for mixing and topping. Cherry on Top also features accessories for celebrations, plus great gifts to take home for that special someone, even if - admit it - that someone happens to be you!

What would happen if we took a normal library and put it through one of Dr. Seuss's wacky contraptions? It would probably come out looking much like Dr. Seuss Bookville on Carnival Vista! The room is decked out in bright colors, fun furniture and even has some of your all-time favorite Dr. Seuss characters on the walls. But let's not forget that this space is all about the books - the shelves are filled to the brim for hours of fun reading.

More amazing itineraries still to come.
