“Vista-class cruise ship”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Vista class is a class of Panamax-type cruise ships, built by Fincantieri Marghera shipyard, in Italy. Vista-class cruise ships are operated by Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, and Costa Cruises. The ships are equipped with a diesel-electric power plant and an Azipod propulsion system. The ships are designed so that eighty-five percent of the staterooms have ocean views and sixty-seven percent have verandas; the extensive use of glass in the superstructure of Vista-class ships is also reflected in the class name.

Carnival Cruise Line launched a ship in 2016 named Carnival Vista, though it is much larger and is not a Vista-class ship.

History

The Vista-class design was originally created for Holland America Line, using the Panamax guidelines to determine their designed size. A fifth hull which was originally intended for Holland America was transferred to Cunard Line in 2003 where it was planned to become {{MS|Queen Victoria}}. However, due to restructuring within their parent corporation Carnival Corporation & plc, as well as a later decision by Cunard that modifications should be made to introduce successful elements from the design of {{RMS|Queen Mary 2}}, the hull was again transferred to become P&O Cruises' {{MS|Arcadia|2005|6}}.^[1]

Derivative designs

Signature class

The second derivative design is Holland America Line's Signature-class cruise ship, {{MS|Eurodam}}. While the same length as MS Noordam, she has one more deck than the standard Vista-class design, and her public areas and cabin placement have been significantly redesigned, especially on her upper-most decks.^[2] A second Signature-class ship, {{MS|Nieuw Amsterdam|2010|6}}, entered service in 2010.^[3]

Hybrid Vista/Spirit class

In 2007 Cunard took delivery of Queen Victoria^[4] the first ship in a class described as a hybrid design "taking the best parts from Aker Yards' {{sic}} built Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea, and from Holland America's Vista class ships". Subsequent ships based on this hybrid design include

Costa's Costa Luminosa,^[5] Cunard's {{MS|Queen Elizabeth||2}}, and Costa Deliziosa.

The Cunard ships had a few additional changes including a stronger bow for direct transatlantic crossings, something Cunard ships have completed more regularly than typical cruise ships; and a large second balcony area over the Queens Room dance floor which is one of Cunard's signature features.
