Celebrity knew that women are the key decision-makers in vacation decisions, so Synecticsworld worke

When Celebrity Cruises decided that they needed a better-designed stateroom they asked Synecticsworld to help them create not just a different look but a radical new standard in stateroom design based on insights and guest-inspired creativity. The world of cruise new york city bus tour ship design is a small club. With the three largest cruise companies based in Miami, Florida new york city bus tour and a small number of architects and ship builders serving the industry, it had become increasingly difficult to find a fresh point of view on the possibilities that could be created in this all important guest touchpoint.

The resulting approach was dubbed the "The Leading Ladies ". A slightly different take on Volvo's famous approach for automotive design which would not only inform the design of the new staterooms, new york city bus tour but also become a centerpiece of the launch campaign of the new ship, Celebrity Solstice, when she was launched.
Celebrity knew that women are the key decision-makers in vacation decisions, so Synecticsworld worked to identify five creative women who represented a range of perspectives, backgrounds and cruise experience. For the project to be successful, the Celebrity ship building team would need to be SM prepared new york city bus tour to listen to "The Leading Ladies " with a fresh perspective, and instantly make connections for how they could bring what they were hearing for life.

The Synecticsworld team leveraged new york city bus tour a number of proprietary techniques new york city bus tour to build this esprit de corps and prepare the team for a fast-paced project.SM The team listened to, and explored the needs of, "The Leading Ladies ", not only in regards to cruising, but also how they designed their own homes and the tricks they used to get more out of the "small, comfortable spaces" in which they lived and worked.

The work culminated new york city bus tour in a walk-through of cabin mock-ups at the shipyard in Finland, new york city bus tour making real-time design modifications right up to the point that the ship design was finalised.
The resulting stateroom design was received as a revelation in the cruise industry.
