Registration to attend Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Europe (CSI Europe) to be held in London later this year has opened.
This year, the two-day event promises to connect everyone across the cruise ship interiors supply chain with the people they most want to work with, the organisers, Elite Exhibitions claimed.
Running from 4th – 5th December at ExCeL London, the itinerary includes in Speed Networking; Lunch & Learns, featuring interviews with industry experts; Q&As; a favourite with new-to-cruise suppliers – Pitch & Pint; a comprehensive conference featuring speakers inside and outside the cruise ship interiors industry, plus much more.
For the first time, CSI Europe will host Hospitality@CSI. This new zone, comprising 20 exhibitors and a dedicated schedule of content, aims to recognise the ways that hospitality interior design works in tandem with hospitality products to shape guest experiences, improve efficiencies and deliver brand identity to each guest.

To cater for this, Cruise Xperience Innovation Summit (CXI) will also debut this year at CSI Europe to showcase the suppliers who build seamless services, amenities, and experiences, and the buyers who need to tap into their know-how to give their projects that wow factor.
The Cruise Ship Interiors Awards return on 5th December to celebrate half a decade of spotlighting the best in cruise ship interior design, from small ships to sustainable products, that safeguard the future.
