Fluid Ship Floor Plans

Outside-the-Box Bedrooms of Norwegian Cruise Line Suites

— February 28, 2011 — Art & Design
Size isn't always better, and the programs of these luxury Norwegian Cruise Line suites prove that what you do with something small can exceed expectations.

Cruise ship apartments are compact by nature, and in such high-density floating hotels, designers are constantly challenged to dream up systematic solutions for the arrangement and outright reinvention of typical cabin comforts and conveniences.

Looking at the examples in the gallery above, one can appreciate just how condense yet creative these bedrooms are. Given such strict modular spaces to deal with, superyacht interior planners have managed to bend boundaries and create sinuous walls and fluid floor plans that mimic the very vehicle of their oceanic expedition.

With round beds, undulating furnishings, in-room whirlpools and all of the deluxe detailing of luxury nautical living, these Norwegian Cruise Line Suites make dense design divine.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Design - Designers are finding innovative ways to maximize functionality in small spaces on cruise ships, creating compact yet creative bedrooms.
2. Modular Solutions - Superyacht interior planners are breaking boundaries by using modular design to create sinuous walls and fluid floor plans in small ship cabins.
3. Luxury Nautical Living - Norwegian Cruise Line Suites offer deluxe detailing and amenities, such as round beds, undulating furnishings, and in-room whirlpools, making dense design divine.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can apply compact design and modular solutions to maximize space and create unique and luxurious accommodations.
2. Interior Design - Interior design professionals can explore the opportunities of compact design and modular solutions to create innovative and functional spaces in any small environment.
3. Cruise Ship - Cruise ship companies can embrace the concept of luxury nautical living by incorporating deluxe detailing and amenities into their cabin designs to enhance the guest experience.
