UIEvolution has installed its Guest Evolution technology platform on Princess Cruises’ recently launched Royal Princess.
Guest Evolution is an HTML5-based TV solution designed to improve the passenger experience. The smart, interactive TVs can be extended to support a host of innovative features for passenger and crew TVs. These include screen shifting live TV; transferring movies and music to the passenger’s smartphone or tablet; onboard digital signage and mapping; dining menus; and the ability to book onboard activities and shorex from in-cabin TVs, smartphones or personal mobile devices.
Harbour Marine Systems engineered, installed and commissioned the platform, providing a seamless infotainment integration with other relevant onboard systems.
“We are pleased Princess have selected the UIEvolution Guest Evolution for their fleet,” said Chris Ruff, CEO and president of UIEvolution. “The smart TVs in cabins and the digital signs throughout the Royal Princess will enhance the cruise experience Princess delivers to its passengers.”
The line also has the option to deploy the platform across all 18 of its ships. Executive vice president Jan Swartz said: “Our decision to offer our passengers and crew innovative technology and entertainment services marks a bold transition within the cruising industry.”
