Skopos launches new coloured voile collections certified for marine use The International Maritime Organization has certified Skopos Fabrics’ two new flame retardant voile collections for marine use. Cove offers 15 mineral-toned colourways with matte finishes, while Shellen draws on a coastal palette with a raindrop-slub design that adds depth and movement. Both collections reduce glare without blocking natural light, provide sound absorption and are woven from 100 per cent recycled flame-retardant polyester, washable at 30 Celsius . Wide-width constructions – 327 centimetres for Cove and 315 centimetres for Shellen – make them suited to large windows. The voiles can function as window treatments, room dividers or lobby backdrops, adding to Skopos’ existing Essential Voiles and Karoo collections. Holland America Line’s Koningsdam emerged from a two-week dry dock with significant upgrades ahead of its summer 2026 Alaska season. The ship gained five new staterooms, each sleeping up to four guests and featuring a double sofa bed alongside two beds that convert to queen size. A further 22 Vista suites received new sofa beds. Entertainment spaces were also refreshed, with new lounge seating connecting the Rolling Stone Lounge and Billboard Onboard venues, and an expanded casino improving guest flow. The Effy boutique received a full makeover, including new wall finishes, flooring, lighting, display fixtures and a central chandelier. Speciality dining venues now offer flexible, moveable table arrangements. Koningsdam refurbished ahead of Alaska season 23 CFI CURATED
