The Awards opened with the Trimline Drinks. As everyone across the cruise ship interiors supply chain gathered to celebrate the outstanding work of the industry, tables were occupied by Bolidt, Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, HBA, SMC Design and Ulster Carpets.
CEO of the Cruise Ship Interiors Awards and Cruise Ship Interiors Expo Europe, Toby Walters, stepped up to be master of ceremonies. Several special announcements were made as the champagne flowed. The first awarded best stand to turnkey interiors solutions provider Regenasa and most sustainable stand to SMC Design, having created a stunning stand using 100% recycled materials. One lucky visitor was also randomly selected to win the chance for an exclusive holiday for two with Virgin Voyages: Daniel Mocreia, Senior Architect, MSC Cruises
This year, 12 awards were up for grabs at the Cruise Ship Interiors Awards. The awards themselves were created Spared by Volume Creative. The material of the awards is created using waste, truly transforming unwanted items into a unique and beautiful material. Fredrik Johansson won the prestigious Leadership Award, sponsored by AROS Marine, in recognition of all he has done in support of supporting his fellow designers and shaping many of them into fellow leaders and creative visionaries of the industry. Cruise Line of the Year went to MSC Cruises, who not only led all other cruise lines in number of newbuilds, but welcomed truly innovative ships to their fleet including MSC World Europa.
Studio DADO won Best Public Space for Norwegian Prima’s Atrium, while the Sustainability Award goes to Dansk Wilton. Dansk Wilton have consistently raised the standards of sustainable design in the cruise ship interiors community. Earlier in the day, speaking at a workshop at CSIE, Lone Ditmer, Marketing Manager, Dansk Wilton commented,
‘Some people have asked us why we are sharing this information and making it available instead of keeping it to ourselves. We actually hope that everybody will use this information. We are only one business but this needs an industry wide change.’
This same community spirit was felt strongly at the Cruise Ship Interiors Awards. Peers, current and future clients and fellow finalists alike cheered for the winners as they took to the stage to accept their award.
