Carnival Cruise Line names new ship Panorama

Baird Maritime
Carnival Cruise Line's next Vista-class vessel will be known as Carnival Panorama.

Carnival Panorama has been chosen as the name of Carnival Cruise Line's new 133,500-tonne ship, which will debut in 2019.

Carnival Panorama, which is the third in the line's Vista-class series, will join its sister ships Carnival Vista (2016) and Carnival Horizon, which will debut in April.

The three 3,954-passenger ships are the largest constructed for the cruise line.

Carnival Panorama will include indoor and al fresco experiences, including SkyRide, an aqua park and the SportSquare recreation area. It will also feature a Havana section with tropics-inspired staterooms and Cuban-themed bar and pool.

Under construction at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in Italy, Carnival Panorama is scheduled to enter service in November 2019.
