Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, the world's biggest cruise ship, recently set sail featuring a range of Martin Professional lighting and smoke solutions.

The $1.4bn Oasis of the Seas is 360m-long with room for 5,400 passengers and a crew of 3,000.

The demanding nature of the environment - constant motion, salt water, humidity and high temperatures - mean the visual systems on board must be extremely reliable.

Oasis of the Seas features seven distinct themed areas, each featuring Martin visual solutions. These include the Royal Promenade - the ship's central meeting place. Along the length of the Promenade, Martin visuals blend atmospheric and show lighting throughout the day and night.

The musical Hairspray is performed in the ship's Opal Theater, beneath a large rig of Martin gear, while the AquaTheater - a large pool that hosts several shows - is illuminated by Martin lights. The Studio B and ice rink is used for exhibits, fashion shows, concerts and an ice show, and features Martin MAC moving heads, LED battens and Jem smoke effects.

Additional clubs, lounges and bars for adults including Blaze nightclub and the adults-only Solarium, feature Martin visual solutions, as do social spots for youngsters.

Martin is also supplying an identical equipment package to the Oasis' upcoming sister ship, Allure of the Seas.
