Modern cruise ships resemble real floating cities, with all the services that a medium-sized city can offer. Including cinema, of course!<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s known that the beauty of a cruise… is the journey itself, even more than the individual destinations. In short, the cruise, more than other types of travel, is an experience that is lived at 360\u00b0,<\/strong> and a lot of time is spent aboard those floating cities that are today\u2019s ships. Cruise vacations are probably one of the greatest stories of commercial \u201cturnaround\u201d of all time: the ship, defeated by planes and trains in terms of speed, has re-launched itself with the pleasure of the journey! With 26,7 million passengers<\/strong> a year, the cruise sector cannot be said to be in crisis.<\/p>\n Therefore, TUI Cruises<\/strong><\/a> has decided to equip its Mein Schiff 6<\/strong> with three cinemas, each equipped with a 4K Christie Boxer 4K30<\/a> 3DLP projector<\/strong>, while Christie Pandoras Box<\/strong><\/a> is in charge of supplying and managing content.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Moreover, installing 4K projectors on a cruise ship is simple. More difficult is the maintenance! As explained by Torsten Hirche, Technical Director of TUI Cruises<\/a><\/strong>, on ships \u201cthere are constant vibrations originating from engines and waves, so we use shock absorbers and even suspension mechanisms to cushion them.\u201d In short, for Christie Boxer projectors 4K3<\/a>0<\/strong> vibrations and oscillations of the ship are a further challenge which, according to the words of the system integrator Andreas K\u00f6hler<\/strong>, has been largely won: \u201cThe vibrations on board are a great challenge, but the lenses of the Christie<\/strong><\/a> projectors face it the best.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An additional Boxer 4K30<\/strong><\/a> was then placed, in a special Tempest slot<\/strong>, outdoors on the pool deck. Final intervention reserved to Jochen Schelper, Project Manager Entertainment of TUI Cruises<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cOur guests\u201d \u2013 he said \u2013 \u201cexpect a high quality entertainment program able to compete with the standards to which they are accustomed in everyday life, both from the artistic and technical point of view.
\nIn short, the cinema, on board, cannot be outdone compared to the cinema of the large multiplexes to which passengers are now accustomed.<\/p>\n
