Marine Interiors in Hamburg is one of Europe's most important trade fairs for interior design and furnishings in the maritime industry. Specially geared towards cruise ships, ferries, mega yachts, and other passenger vessels, the trade fair brings together highly specialized suppliers with decision-makers and design managers from the global maritime industry. As a subsidiary trade fair of the internationally renowned SMM Hamburg, Marine Interiors sees itself as a platform for creative and technological solutions in ship interior design – from luxurious cabins and elegant lounges to functionally optimized crew areas. This makes it one of the most important meeting places for architects, interior designers, shipping companies, shipyards, suppliers, and planning offices.
Hardly any other field places such high demands on functionality and aesthetics as interior design on board ships. Strict safety standards, special material requirements, and a high demand for space-optimized solutions apply here. Marine Interiors showcases companies that master precisely these challenges – with well-thought-out concepts for cabins, furniture, floor coverings, lighting, acoustic solutions, sanitary systems, and more. Key topics include fire protection, energy efficiency, hygiene, and comfort – all in a sophisticated design context that aims to provide guests with an unforgettable experience. Modular, resource-saving solutions that meet the industry's growing sustainability requirements are in particular demand.
Marine Interiors highlights how closely design and engineering are linked. Many exhibitors not only showcase their products, but also offer comprehensive services – from conception and development to the installation of complete room solutions. Manufacturers specializing in maritime applications are particularly well represented, developing seats, textiles, and lighting that are not only visually appealing but also withstand the extreme conditions at sea. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region will find a comprehensive overview at Hamburg Trade Fair.
The trade fair is accompanied by a high-quality conference program. International experts will talk about current developments in cruise tourism, regulatory requirements in shipbuilding, innovations in the hospitality sector, and new sustainability strategies. Best practice examples from ongoing projects will provide insights into the implementation of complex interior concepts in practice. There will also be plenty of opportunities for planners and creative minds to exchange ideas: workshops, roundtables, and networking sessions will promote dialogue between different disciplines – from interior design and civil engineering to brand communication on the high seas.
The cruise industry is changing. Guests no longer expect just transportation, but experiences of the highest standard – at sea and on board. Marine Interiors picks up on this trend and shows how modern interior design can become a competitive advantage. The focus is on topics such as accessibility, individualization, green cruising, and digital services. Digital twins, VR-supported space planning, and AI-based lighting systems have long been part of the reality of equipping new ships. The trade fair will showcase how innovative and future-oriented the industry is – often in collaboration with architectural firms, design studios, and technology providers from all over the world.
Marine Interiors is a must for professionals involved in the interior design of passenger ships. This is where decision-makers, creative minds, and technology suppliers gather in one place to initiate new projects, network, and learn about current standards and innovations. Its close connection to SMM and the parallel trade events create a highly concentrated, interdisciplinary trade fair week in Germany's maritime capital.
