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.
