133 FEATURE MOYA Design Partners One of the strongest memories associated with an exceptional cruise vacation is a captivating dining experience. The culinary experiences that guests talk about long after they disembark are ones in which both the cuisine and the atmosphere tell a compelling story. MOYA’s story is told through the design of Indigo’s Canto, a Mediterranean-fusion speciality restaurant that features a whimsical, almost theatrical design. Canto is inspired by the story of the mythical siren, taking guests through a gastronomic epic. Dramatic lighting features, captivating art and evolving music are paired with a dynamic series of dishes, allowing diners to experience Indigo’s seductive, albeit mercurial, nature for a truly unforgettable culinary journey. SMC Design The success of Aroya Cruises’ sophisticated dining venue, Turkish steak restaurant Meast, was achieved by working collaboratively alongside leading consultants and outfitters. The food and beverage design brief developed by Columbia Signature was for an a la carte Turkish steak restaurant. Architect SMC Design’s interpreted brief drew inspiration from geometric Turkish patterns which worked in harmony with the Aroya brand style. Outfitter MJM manufactured marquetry wall panels in which the craftsmanship reflects the attention to detail found in Meast’s dishes. SMC also worked with DLS, Almaco and lighting designer dpa, to incorporate an open galley concept as well as a meat hanger and the Turkish pide oven, complete with authentic flickering opti-mist flames where Meast’s Turkish flatbreads are baked.
