MSC Cruises, Swiss-based company that has the largest private cruise line in the world, has already operational its flagship Meraviglia, a boat equipped with the latest technological equipment to make your stay in the Western Mediterranean more comfortable (with shipments in the ports of Barcelona, Genoa and Marseille) of the 5.714 passengers it can accommodate on board.

Among other innovations, Meraviglia counts on the so-called Promenade deck, with a walk of 96 meters designed in the Mediterranean style, with shops, bars and restaurants, whose arch-shaped ceiling is a Led screen, formed by 1.334 Led panels with pixel pitch of 4 Mm. and with dimensions of 80 meters long and 5,60 meters wide, that completely covers this route and simulates an artificial sky that changes according to the hours of the day (dawn, dusk, starry sky), as well as other types of artistic creations to foster a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

Videlio-HMS, specialist in audio solutions, video, communication and lighting on board large passenger ships, mega yachts and ferries, has been responsible for the unique Promenade deck, the largest built so far with Led panels on a boat, which has become the social centre of MSC Meraviglia.

Among other technical challenges in this complex installation, the Videlio-HMS team has successfully carried out the design to adapt the support structure, in addition to overcoming hull deformations to minimize panel misalignment when the ship is at sea.

Cirque du Soleil also sails

Videlio-HMS has also carried out the installation and integration of the main entertainment spaces on board, for which passengers have 114 touch screens distributed throughout the ship where they can make their reservations for the shows, as well as in restaurants.

One of the most outstanding spaces in this regard is the Carousel Lounge, designed with glass walls and exclusively to accommodate, for the first time on a cruise, two Cirque du Soleil shows (Cirque du Soleil).

This space, of 1.000 m² to accommodate 450 Spectators, of which 120 you can enjoy a culinary experience and show in the same room, has been custom built by the architect Marco de Jorio, in collaboration with MSC Cruises, to meet the specific needs of the two Cirque du Soleil shows at sea, which will take place twice every night and six a week.
