IMAX first for Carnival Vista
Carnival’s latest ship Vista, set to debut in 2016, will feature a host of new innovations for the industry, including the first ever IMAX theatre at sea.
Hollywood movies and IMAX documentaries will be shown on a three deck-high screen.
Nextdoor is the ‘Thrill Theater’, where film fans can enjoy a multi-dimensional special effects cinematic experience.
Both are part of the ‘Carnival Multiplex’, complete with a concession serving up popcorn and movie snacks.
Other new amenities include SkyRide – the first pedal-powered aerial attraction which offers the chance to ride bikes on a suspended cycle track 150 feet above the sea.
The ship will also have Kaleid-O-Slide, the line’s first-ever water tube ride, and the line’s first ever shipboard brewery at the the RedFrog Pub.
Vista will mark Carnival’s return to Europe when it makes its debut May 1, 2016, on a 13-day cruise from Trieste, Italy.
Vista will then sail across the Atlantic and then operate a series of voyages from New York.
