Cruise and Passenger
Design that moves
Passenger ships need to offer more than just function - they should create special experiences on the water. In many years of experience with projects for sea and river cruise ships, day trip vessels and event ships, which we designed with our customers, this aspect was always at the center of attention. In part, this has resulted in extensive fleets of modern river cruise ships.
Hybrid or all-electric versions are often suitable, which enables green operation combined with maximum comfort for passengers. Every passenger ship design is unique and adapted to the requirements of the operational area and the wishes of our customers. With a high standard of safety and a modern, eye-catching design, we create ships that arouse emotions.
