Project:
Starlight Lounge, Crystal Symphony Cruise Liner

 

Crystal Cruises International wished to refurbish the Starlight Lounge on this ship, adding a larger bar and converting it from a dedicated showlounge to a multi-use space.

dpa designed new lighting to the bar area itself, and orchestrated the scene-set dimming levels to ensure that the room was suitable for a show to be on stage while the bar operated, and while guests passed through the open corridor at one side of the room.

A chandelier hung over the back bar, made from Swarovski crystals, was internally illuminated by cool white LEDs. The same lighting treatment was given to the glass ice bowl below to provide a cool, glittering, feel to the back bar. The circular bar counter consisted of a backlit laminated Onyx surface, with illumination provided by a low voltage cold cathode system in a warm white colour.

The refurbishment of this space, including the new lighting systems, have revitalised this space, which is now popular with guests on most nights of any cruise.
