History
AI-generated

Carnival Vista is the lead ship of Carnival Cruise Line's Vista-class and was built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy. The ship gained attention when its wake caused extensive damage to a tourist harbor near Messina, Italy, and later experienced propulsion system issues that required repairs using a heavy-lift ship as a floating dry dock, an operation chosen after a crane collapse at another shipyard. The vessel was christened by Miss USA 2016 Deshauna Barber in New York City.
