Robust to endure

Ulstein has developed cutting-edge cruise ship designs of several sizes, ranging from small vessels accommodating approximately 100 or more passengers to large vessels accommodating 800 or more. More than just power and performance, an Ulstein-designed cruise vessel is a piece of art.

With our background in designing robust, offshore-tough vessels, our high-performance cruise ships have been developed to withstand the inhospitable conditions of sea areas such as the North Sea and the Polar regions. Our solid, reliable platforms secure a safe and comfortable journey so that passengers can fully enjoy their holiday of fun. The exceptional seakeeping and high operational reliability add extra value to our vessels. All our vessels comply with international class regulations and rules.

Customer experience is crucial 

The cruise ship layout has been designed to make a memorable journey and a unique experience. We cooperate with renowned cruise interior designers, and our cruise vessels come with a blend of rich, sporty and luxurious interiors. Naturally, all passengers have ocean-view cabins and suites, and most have balconies to get closer to the natural experience. The ships offer entertainment and fine dining facilities, exercise and adventure, wildlife and underwater spottings, recreation and relaxation. The details of our cruise ship designs are elaborated in close cooperation with established interior architects, all adjusted to the owner's requirements. Much effort has been placed into securing the best on-board logistics. Our analyses of flow logistics, combined with field trips, support our close collaboration with the owner.

Responsible partner 

Ulstein's core mission is sustainability. Cruise journeys should have minimal effects on natural climates during transit or at the destinations. We consider the whole lifecycle of the vessel, contemplating alternative materials, fuel-efficient propulsion systems and engines, low energy consumption with minimised emissions, alternative power sources, and efficient hull forms. The overall expedition logistics are also carefully considered.

We design for future generations.
