33 and design professionals working for cruise lines will give suppliers a unique insight into their branding and decisionmaking processes, as well as workflow practicalities. In the past, executives working for cruise companies including Royal Caribbean Group, Seabourn, Windstar Cruises and Celebrity Cruises have participated in these sessions. Meanwhile, designers and architects looking to bring the next trending project to their brand ahead of their competitors can attend the game showstyle pitch event taking place on-site. The CSI Americas conference programme will offer a deep dive into the big questions of cruise ship interiors and the details that matter. Discussions will explore everything from the anatomy of a mega ship to the guest of the future, and project experts and cruise line leaders will provide attendees with a mix of blue-sky thinking and actionable strategies. Interior design and hospitality is now infused with a taste of high-tech futurism, and the cruise ship industry is capitalising on this too. From the threestorey kinetic sculpture onboard Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas, to the personalised MedallionClass experiences onboard Princess Cruises’ vessels, guests are getting a taste of next-generation hospitality. This is why Elite Exhibitions will also be launching the new Cruise Xperience Innovation Summit in 2025. Co-located with CSI Americas, the Cruise Xperience Innovation Summit will give attendees the opportunity to meet with exhibitors that specialise in everything from holographics to competitive socialising, as well as to attend conference sessions curated to focus on the trends of today, tomorrow and beyond. To help visitors and exhibitors find time to recharge during the busy event, CSI Americas will also feature an extensive wellness programme with various classes taking place against the backdrop of Miami’s sunrises each morning. Notable highlights will include Netwalking, Rise ‘n’ Run, high-intensity interval training classes with an ocean view, and rooftop yoga.
