The Vista class is a class of cruise ships built by Fincantieri in Italy. The ships are operated by the Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Crociere, and Adora Cruises divisions of Carnival Corporation & plc.
The ship's design is based on the design of Carnival's Dream-class fleet of ships, but with a different stern and main atrium. The length was increased an additional 56-58 ft on the Vista-Class ships, compared to the Dream-class.
