113 COMMENTARY Cruise and ferry projects are increasing in scale, complexity and ambition, and shipowners and shipyards are seeking shipbuilding partners that can provide a differentiated offering with disciplined execution. In response, Allstars Engineering rebranded as Allstars Group in 2025, bringing engineering, design and turnkey delivery together under a single, integrated company focused on end-to-end project delivery. Allstars Group operates as a marine project partner, supporting clients from early concept development through to on-site execution. Its strength lies not only in technical capability, but also in its ability to coordinate multidisciplinary scopes across large, fastpaced shipbuilding programmes, where interface management and schedule certainty are critical. Allstars Engineering remains the backbone of the group, drawing on decades of experience in naval architecture and marine engineering for passenger vessels to work on projects that require a high level of engineering precision, coordination and reliability. For instance, the team worked on Royal Caribbean International’s Icon-class cruise ships. The team takes on structures, interior engineering and HVAC, piping and electrical systems, working comfortably within the demanding technical and regulatory frameworks of modern cruise ships. The Allstars Project team extends the group’s capability into turnkey delivery for complex onboard structures. One notable example of this type of project is the large glass dome installed over the main swimming pool on TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 7. Due to its size and weight, the structure was engineered and delivered in modular sections. Projects of this nature require close alignment between design intent, structural performance, fabrication strategy and installation logistics, particularly within active shipyard environments. Finally, Allstars Design adds architectural and experiential expertise to the group’s offering. The studio develops its own concept designs and supports clients with a contemporary, performance-led approach to vessel design. For Allstars, design is more than just decoration; it plays a crucial role in vessel performance and guest experience. Today, Allstars Group positions itself as a single-source marine partner, capable of engineering, designing and delivering complex solutions for cruise and ferry projects worldwide under one name, one structure and one vision. Partnership with purpose By bringing together engineering, design and turnkey delivery services, Allstars Group can support partners throughout the shipbuilding process TEEMU VUORIO Teemu Vuorio is sales manager at Allstars Group, a marine engineering and consulting organisation Allstars Group delivered a large glass dome for the main swimming pool on TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 7
