Designer water Quiet on deck Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ new initiative to eliminate an estimated three million plastic bottles per year by installing Vero Water’s still and sparkling water distillation systems also has a design benefit. “By introducing Vero Water to the Oceania Cruises experience, we are not only taking a quantum leap forward environmentally, we are providing our guests with the gold-standard of still and sparkling water,” said Bob Binder, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises. “Today’s deck solutions must look great and be anti-skid, durable, hard-wearing, environmentally friendly and provide excellent sound insulation qualities. Bolidt achieves this by identifying how many decibels of noise is acceptable in each space on a ship and developing the optimum mix of top layer and underlays to create synthetic flooring systems that meet these needs,” said Jacco van Overbeek, director of Bolidt’s Maritime Division.
