Royal Caribbean International

WWG have worked closely with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCI) since 1990, providing technical design and consultancy for the entertainment spaces on board all their new builds since then. This work has rapidly expanded as the role of entertainment has become generic to virtually every space on the latest vessels, and as RCI have rapidly expanded their fleet.

RCI are presently constructing three new Eagle class ships, each capable of carrying 3,100 passengers, at the Kvaerner Masa Yard in Turku, Finland. The first of this class, named Voyager of the Seas, will leave Turku on October 30th this year for her Atlantic crossing to RCI's home port of Miami. On board will be WWG's Jonathan Gottelier and a team of specialists who will be programming the lights, video and setting up the sound aspects of numerous systems designed by WWG including that in The Vault nightclub.

The Vault, the interior of which was designed by architect Trond Sigurdsen from Yran & Storbraaten in Oslo, Norway, features a massive two deck high vortex of moving images surrounding a circular dance floor which WWG created using several interacting, media - some embedded in the surface and some appliquéd by projection. Using advanced control technology and cutting-edge video transmitters WWG's multimedia vortex is a constantly changing geometry of multiple moving pictures and colours, a phantasmagoria of visual stimulants and effects.
