Outdoor Excitement and Ocean Breezes

Even if you start your Carnival Vista^® cruise from Port Canaveral as a land lover, it won’t take long to absolutely fall in love with the warm ocean breezes and endless blue horizons. These outdoor activities are just a sampling of what you’ll find during your cruise vacation to quicken your pulse, melt into relaxation, and create memories impossible to outlive.

Wet & Wild Fun While Sailing the Seven Seas

Who doesn’t love slipping and sliding their way down twisting tubes and slippery slides? At WaterWorks, Carnival’s onboard water park, we do you one better by combining the drenched thrills of some seriously fun rides with panoramic views from the top of our impressive ship. Bring some towels, though, because WaterWorks guarantees you a thorough soaking.

Challenge Your Skills Surrounded by Perfect Ocean Views

Now that you’re relaxed and ready for more outdoor thrills, our ropes course is a fun and heart-racing way to test your physical skills in an obstacle course you won’t soon forget. Balance yourself across ropes and platforms high above the ship while safely strapped in to really let that adventurous spirit soar. It might take a while for your adrenaline to wear off once you’re done with this literal high-wire act.

A Relaxing Oasis

As fun and exciting as a Carnival cruise is, sometimes a bit of quiet and deep relaxation is needed to recharge the batteries. The Serenity Adult-Only Retreat^™onboard Carnival Vista^® is exactly that, an on-deck oasis with a nearby bar and all the R&R you need before heading off to the next round of excitement.

Take Flight at Sea

Speaking of panoramic views, a truly breathtaking experience awaits you at SkyRide^®, a pedal-powered race along tracks soaring above the deck. This safe but endlessly exciting adventure pits you against a fellow cruiser as you race along a towering course, with the ocean as an unforgettable backdrop. Given the incredible views, no one will blame you if you forget about the race and slow down to soak in the scenery.

Hit the Mini Links

For a slightly more sedate but equally fun outdoor experience, a quick round of Mini Golf might be a perfect choice. Enjoy everything about the miniature golf you grew up playing, only this time while cruising the seas. Fun for the entire family, put those putting skills to the test surrounded by all of the unforgettable sights and sounds of a memorable family cru

Indoor Entertainment and Excitement

One of the things that makes Carnival Vista^® such a unique experience is its combination of outdoor thrills and indoor excitement. Put another way, as much fun as you’ll have on-deck, there’s an entire world of indoor activities that are sure to make your days and nights go by in the blink of an eye.

Put on a show for the ages as you go against others cruisers in a bid to be crowned the lip sync champion of the ship.
