Cruise Ship Experience – Polaris
The Mission
Design a themed cruise ship experience, combining immersive storytelling with entertainment spaces. The project began as a team effort to develop the overall ship concept, spatial layout, and narrative direction, followed by individual exploration of selected onboard spaces.
The Challenge
Our challenge was to develop a cruise ship concept from scratch while considering the entire guest journey—from boarding to onboard experiences and spatial transitions. The team needed to create immersive environments across multiple themed worlds while maintaining a cohesive narrative and spatial connection throughout the ship.
The Outcome
This process led to the concept of Polaris, the guiding North Star for all guests. Each themed world acts as a narrative anchor, while the shared night-sky theme and cruising experience seamlessly connect the different spaces into one unified journey.
