NORWEGIAN Cruise Lines’ new Norwegian Joy is packed with technology, such as touch screens, high speed wi-fi and amazing virtual reality games.

But along with all the tech innovations there’s a common sense addition which very simply helps passengers orient themselves during a cruise.

It’s a very big ship, with kilometres of corridors and often it’s easy to become confused about which way the vessel is pointing.

Norwegian has come up with a simple solution, and it’s right at your feet.

Yes – it’s the carpet in the corridors which features an intricate aquatic pattern including schools of little fish.

The fish (pictured) always swim towards the front of the ship so all you need to do is look down to figure out which way you’re going.
