As an all-inclusive holiday, an ocean cruise is expected to offer guests the ‘whole package’. We venture into the world of cruise ship interiors to find out why cruise operators are increasingly embracing holistic design to create spectacular spaces, and ask the interior designers of Crystal Cruises’ $50m refurbishment why inspiration for the luxury liners came from dry land.
We also profile the most technologically advanced vessels for a wide range of marine tasks, from seismic surveying to heavy lifting and offshore supply, and find out how ever more sophisticated remote-operated vehicles can take on increasingly complex hull maintenance jobs. And, as the marine sector starts showing signs of recovery from the economic crisis, we ask recruitment experts what the industry can expect in the coming months.

Next issue preview
A new mandate from the IMO will require many international commercial ships to switch to electronic chart display and information systems. We find out why a reluctance to use new technologies, coupled with a lack of standardisation, has slowed the march of a technology which many claim could reduce the number of ships running aground by as much as 38%.
We also take a look at the world’s biggest vessels, from giant passenger liners to mega-ton tankers and the latest fleet of floating facilities for the extraction of liquefied natural gas.
Moreover, we profile some of the most impressive private superyachts and the design features that make them stand out from the crowd. Looking into cruise operators’ efforts to cut carbon footprints and present a more eco-friendly image, we explore new energy saving technologies that are currently making waves in the industry.
