CFI CURATED: EVENT PREVIEW Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Europe (CSI Europe) will be hosted at Hamburg Messe in Germany for the first time on 3-4 December 2025. The free interiors show debuted in Barcelona, Spain, in 2019, and has since been located in London, UK, but is set for its biggestever edition this year. The new location, which is close to the headquarters of many Continental Europe-based shipyards and cruise lines, is helping to attract a new wave of cruise executives, design studio representatives and other visitors, according to event organiser Elite Exhibitions. In addition, one-third of the exhibitors at this year’s event will be showcasing their solutions for the first time. Notable examples of newcomers include design studios mah-ATN and Meyer RE, which will be exhibiting alongside materials marketplace Material Bank, net-zero high pressure laminate purveyor Dexsa connect, outdoor furniture producer Barlow Tyrie, lighting company Master Light and many others. “Even companies who have exhibited at the show for years can expect to make fresh connections and introduce their products to new audiences,” said Will Duffell, sales director at Elite Exhibitions. The show programme will offer a combination of up-close-and-personal conversations with major cruise brands, expert-led panel sessions, and hybrid knowledge-sharing and networking events. Discussions will focus on trends in the passenger ship interiors industry, newbuilds, refurbishments and more. “The cruise order book continues to grow, with European cruise brands such as Marella Cruises entering the newbuild market for the first time,” said Duffell. “We are also in the middle of an exciting time for cruise refurbishments. For the past few years, new cruise lines have joined the sector with refurbished ships, but now established brands have significantly financially recovered from the pandemic, they are also launching fleet-wide refurbishment programmes. The schedule of content will explore these topics, in addition to providing insights into subjects unique to the European cruise industry, such as the luxury market, shipyard trends and more.” Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Europe 3-4 December 2025 | Hamburg, Germany 30
