In Miami for Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo

The B2B event dedicated to the cruise industry returns to America for a two-day networking event showcasing the latest developments in the sector

After the success of CSI Europe, held in December in Hamburg, the event returns to America, and specifically to Miami. A different destination, the same focus on the cruise industry. Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo has established itself among sector events thanks to its specificity: a streamlined format (two days) built around networking meetings, and a targeted audience of professionals spanning the entire ship interior design supply chain. The event will take place on June 9 and 10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center for a new edition introducing several new features – starting with the “Discovery Trail” app, which creates a route for visitors through new products, sustainable solutions and live activations.

The lineup of exhibitors is also expanding, with more than 250 names including design studios, furniture companies, fashion brands and naval specialists. Popular events such as “Meet the Brand Q&A” and “Lunch & Learns” will return, offering targeted insights for both designers and suppliers within the broader program of talks and networking – the core of CSI – which allows participants to explore innovations, technologies and trends in the cruise ship segment.

Among the many participants will be representatives from Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, AIDA Cruises, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, SMC Design, YSA Design and many others. This year’s CSI Americas event will once again be held alongside Hotel & Resort Design South (HRDS), dedicated to the design of hotels, resorts and private island destinations across the Southern States, the Caribbean and Latin America. Prominent names in attendance include Hilton Hotels & Resorts, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Accor, Marriott International, Hyatt, Wyndham and Six Senses.
