HMS Prince of wales is one of the most powerful surface warships ever constructed in the UK. Her flight deck is 70 metres wide and 280 metres long – enough space for three football pitches – and she holds 45 days’ worth of food in stores.

Our client installed a glass staircase leading from the 1st floor coffee bar down to the bar/restaurant and wanted to “make a statement” of the staircase to entice customers to visit.

The brief from the client was to ‘add a new dimension to the stage’. , the stage sets relied on banner rolls to change scenery props for shows, on occasions several banner changes were required for each show which at times could be quite complex.

This area on a cruise ship was rarely used by passengers as it was rather bleak, with very little lighting and lacked any atmosphere.
