Cruise & Ferry Interiors 2021

1 0 1 Carnival’s newest ships have performance venues like Liquid Lounge, where mini-nightclubs or pop-up live music performances can be created right in the middle of the audience ample seating or employing the latest technology advancements, we could greatly diminish the guest experience. Plus, when guests are in elegant and memorable surroundings, it puts them in a mindset to expect something special to take place. This adds to the excitement and enjoyment of the performance. If you look at the most famous theatres in the world – be it Radio City Music Hall or Carnegie Hall in New York – the designers started with functionality first and then found visual elements to support the venue. Cruise ship theatres follow the same design formula. Our theatres contain the functional requirements to deliver stunning performances and their visual appeal is designed by some of the finest maritime architects in the world – and our guests know that they’re in for something special that night. And our performers know it, too. The symbiotic relationship between performer and audience is only enhanced by a venue that is as memorable as the performance itself. Our newest ships have performance venues called Liquid Lounge, which is an adaptable space with fixed seating as well as movable seating near the stage. This allows us to be very creative in developing shows that utilise the entire venue as a performance space. For some shows, we are able to create mini-nightclubs or pop-up live music performances right in the middle of the audience. It’s become one of the most popular elements of our shows. “ Our guests love comedy – we host upwards of 25,000 shows a year, the most on land or at sea”
