SEABOURN boss Rick Meadows says the luxe cruise line is already assessing how it can best utilise the latest smart technology for its passengers, revealed last week by parent firm, Carnival Corporation.
Dubbed the Ocean Medallion, the new wearable tech will enable the streamlining of embarkation and disembarkation processes, unlock guests’ staterooms, allow them to pay for products while on board a cruise and more.
Carnival Corporation’s Princess Cruises will be the first brand to debut the ‘xiOS’ platform in Nov aboard Regal Princes (CW Thu).
Meadows said Seabourn was also keen to implement the product aboard its fleet of four ships, in due course.
“We’re very excited about the product. It’s a game-changer for the cruise industry,” he said.
