The cruise interiors market is entering a significant period of growth and transformation. Royal Caribbean has announced a new sustainable, expedition-style Discovery Class of vessels, while Celebrity Cruises has added 10 ships to its first-ever river cruise fleet. Alongside these headline- grabbing developments, several fleet-wide refurbishment programs are now underway, creating one of the most active refit markets in recent years.
Against this backdrop of expansion and innovation, the free-to-attend CSI Americas will once again bring together the global cruise interiors community for two days of connection, product discovery, and forward-thinking content.
New show features for 2026
The 2026 edition introduces new curated design elements around the hall designed to spark inspiration and highlight the creativity of the industry. A ‘Discovery Trail’ will be available via the show app, guiding select attendees through sustainable solutions, product launches, and live activations from featured exhibitors. In addition, attendees will also find innovative material samples, project displays, as well as the chance to take part in interactive team-led design competitions.
Educational content steering next-gen cruise design
The CSI Americas’ schedule of content will dive into mega trends in cruise interiors while exploring the technologies and techniques driving the industry to work smarter. Fan-favourites return with Meet the Brand Q&As and engaging Lunch & Learns, offering focused learnings for specifiers and suppliers
alike. All sessions will offer strategic insights from prominent cruise design leaders as they discuss the forward-thinking innovations that will lead to next-gen cruise ship environments.
This year’s event will once again be co-located with Hotel & Resort Design South (HRDS), dedicated to the design of world-class hotels, resorts and private island destinations. It will also take place alongside the Sustainable Design Summit Working Group Breakfast, which explores progress and opportunities for a more sustainable future in hotel and cruise interiors through a collaborative, hands- on format. Together, these co-located experiences offer a unique opportunity for attendees to gain new perspectives, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration across sectors.
Product discovery across the cruise interior supply chain
With more than 250 exhibitors confirmed, attendees can explore a vibrant showcase of design studios, outfitters and interior suppliers specialising in every aspect of marine design. From materials and furnishings to technology and turnkey solutions, the show floor brings tomorrow’s onboard spaces and experiences to life, condensing months of product research into two inspiring days.
Connections at the core
As the world’s only event dedicated exclusively to the design of newbuild and refurbishment projects, CSI Americas brings together leading cruise lines, design studios, shipyards, and procurement teams to strengthen connections and create new partnerships across the industry.
Over two days, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, AIDA Cruises, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, SMC Design, YSA Design and many more.
Networking remains central to the CSI experience with the 2026 program including the Opening Party, Peer-to-Peer Networking tailored to cruise line executives, pre-matched Speed Networking between exhibitors and VIP attendees, association-led mixers, Happy Hour, and the CSI Wellness Program.
