Introduction

 
 
 

CruiseShow is a screen based information system for passengers aboard cruise vessels and ferries. The information is displayed on single screens in public rooms and/or in passenger cabins using one of the ship's TV channels.

Due to CruiseShow’s modular architecture each system can be set up in a unique combination of modules according to the customer’s demands.
