With technology, the world is getting smarter. There are no limitations to turn a device into a smart device. Simply, for a device being smart means to be able to connect to other devices without a physical medium - wireless communication - that helps the device to be autonomous. Smartphones, smart homes, smart buildings, smart vehicles, smart speakers and now, Smart ships or smart cruises are joining the list!
It is as easy as you may missing the route of your journey on road as that of a voyage. To address the navigation for on-road journey, we have smart cars and for a voyage, smart ships hold good solution. MSC Meraviglia is a cruise ship that seems like a small city on water, with 19 decks filled with different facilities like cabins, restaurants and attractions. This is all the physical appearance of the cruise.
Moving on to the "smartness" of the cruise, it is equipped with more than 4,000 sensors and 144 digital screens to allow access to the passengers with a simple wristband. These displays also help the passengers get every detail of their voyage - location of the cruise in the sea, climatic conditions, menus of different restaurants on the cruise etc.
Seaworthy Tech Features:
Carnival Cruise Line is a Miami-based cruise line. Its reputation is all about being the largest cruise line in the world. In Consumer Electronic Show 2017 (CES 2017), Carnival has introduced revolutionary cruise smart wrist band, which helps the user for multiple purposes on board. Children can be located by their parents with the GPS tracking system of the band. The band allows the passengers even to pay for the purchases on board. Simply, it acts as a guide to the passengers during the voyage.

Swiss line MSC Cruises has built Meraviglia to provide world class smart voyage to their passengers. The other technologies on the cruise are Virtual Reality (VR) Formula 1 racing simulators, a 4D cinema and a promenade ceiling covered by the largest LED dome at sea, projecting an ever-changing digital sky. These features enhance the experience of the passengers. More than tipping money for the journey, passengers can make memories with such astonishing feature.
Boat to the future:
While other cruises are still working to achieve such features, Meraviglia has already equipped them!

On the other hand, MSC is planning to accommodate real-time VR experiences to the passengers. With VR, the passengers can gain more information about the places they are going to visit or they've visited without the help of any guide. MSC is also working on a GPS system that allows the passengers to locate them on maps. Though there are several challenges faced in this context, researches are still going on in this direction.

This is only the starting point. We will be able to further evolve toward a more personalised experience powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide information to each guest relevant to where they are and what time of day it is. - Pronzati.Along with these technologies, MSC is working to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Face recognition technology, to still enhance the voyage experience to the users. With the help of AI, the crew of the cruise can speak to the passengers in which ever language they're comfortable in. MSC for Me is the app that supports MSC to achieve all of these smart features with the smart wrist band. With the Face recognition technology, MSC will be capable of eliminating the smart band also.
