Designer’s choice for cruise ship fabrics

Often described as the hotels of the sea, it takes a special kind of designer to put together a cruise ship scheme. Cabins need to exude sophistication while remaining practical and meeting strict marine regulations. Cruise ship interior designers must strike a balance between great-looking design and durability. Cruise ship fabrics must often meet additional demands such as blocking out light and absorbing sound. It’s all about intelligent interior design to meet marine conditions.

Setting the tone

And it’s not just about headboards and drapes. Restaurants, bars and entertainment areas need to be comfortable and stylish. Cruise ship design must create an ambience. Communal areas and lobbies, on the other hand, set the tone for the entire ship. Cruise fabrics must exude luxury and sophistication while being durable enough to withstand heavy footfall.

As with any high-end hotel, fabrics on a cruise ship must create a sense of style and relaxation, yet they also face the strict demands of the marine industry.

Taking its name from the charming Northern Italian City, the Padua collection represents Cristina Marrone’s commitment to combining durability with elegance. Inspired by the serene, grounding appeal of natural textures, the range is crafted from 100% recycled yarns. And its sustainable credentials don’t mean it compromises on style. Ranging from vibrant to neutral, this contemporary fabric has a fresh feel. And, at 200,000 rubs, it’s also incredibly durable.

The choice of fabric is crucial on a cruise ship to ensure that it is durable, fire-resistant, and easy to clean, given the constant flow of passengers and the high standards of marine safety and hygiene. Cristina Marrone Fabrics offers a range of flame retardant IMO fabrics suitable for use in marine environments such as private yachts and cruise ships.
