The 8-day Southern Caribbean sailings will feature Aruba, Curacao and either Bonaire, Amber Cove or Celebration Key.
Port Canaveral will see Carnival Vista offering 6-day cruises to Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay and either Grand Turk or Amber Cove. Eight-day sailings from this port will visit destinations such as St. Thomas, St. Maarten, San Juan and Aruba.
