The refit of the Manara, the first ship of the new cruise line Aroya Cruises, which has made its debut in the Arab market, has recently been completed successfully. The work was led by the De Wave Group, which specialises in high-end marine interior outfitting and was responsible in particular for the public areas and the luxury suites.
The project, carried out at the shipyards in Bremerhaven, required an extensive rethink of the spaces to adapt the ship to the aesthetic and cultural expectations of Arab guests. The result now sails the routes of the Gulf.
Among the partners chosen for this refit, Chimento Design contributed by creating the outdoor section of the pool area and the VIP Area. The work was carried out with care, focusing on craftsmanship and the distinctive traits of Italian design, integrated with the refined, contemporary style the project called for.
The project also involved MJM Marine, De Wave’s international partner, as part of a wider renewal of the cruise sector and its opening to new markets such as the Middle East.
“Completing such an ambitious project is a source of great pride”, said Riccardo Pompili, CEO of De Wave. “Once again we have shown our Group’s ability to take on complex challenges and to work with leading Italian and international companies.”
With the delivery of the Manara, Chimento Design confirms its focus on bespoke made-in-Italy work, offering quality and attention to detail on ships serving increasingly demanding international markets.
