Martin Professional Delivers One of World’s Most Advanced Lighting Systems for Royal Caribbean’s ‘Icon of the Seas’ Cruise Ship

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. —Martin Professional solidifies its long-standing partnership with Royal Caribbean by providing one of the industry’s most advanced lighting systems for the game-changing Icon of the Seas, the first-of-its-kind combination of every vacation.
'It’s been a fascinating journey, and the one thing with Royal Caribbean that we’ve been allowed to do is choose the right thing for the right environment,” said Christopher Vlassopulos, Manager, Sound and Light, Newbuilding, Royal Caribbean Group. “…This ship was built during COVID, which was a massive struggle for our company and also our suppliers and vendors which is why it’s so important to partner with the right people…'
As the debut ship of Royal Caribbean’s groundbreaking Icon Class, Icon features eight neighborhoods that are destinations in themselves with a combination of experiences for every type of family and vacationer, from more than 40 restaurants and bars to six record-breaking slides at the first waterpark at sea, to a neighborhood designed for young families and more.
“Having the manufacturers involved is fantastic. I’ve had a great relationship with Martin, and they’ve been instantly in contact whenever I need them. It’s been a great help,” said Nick Mugnaini, Lighting Project Lead, Skylight Services. “Even when I don’t know how to do something, I can reach out and get the answer as soon as possible from up to 10 different people.”
Selected for its decades-long reputation for outfitting the world's top cruise lines, Martin won Royal Caribbean’s confidence yet again with its superior global reach and premium support, genuine partnership engagement, and stellar record for product performance, quality of light, durability, and reliability. A variety of Martin's most innovative ranges were specified throughout the ship as the main brand for each of Icon’s many primary entertainment venues, including MAC Ultra, MAC Aura, ERA, ELP, Exterior, VDO, Atomic, P3 Control, and more.
“Icon of the Seas is by far the most technologically advanced local entertainment system on sound, light, and video. I mean this ship has the biggest lighting infrastructure of any ship in the world,” said Amir El Yordi, Co-founder & President, Control AV. “So support, service and the quality of the fixtures, of course, make a big difference on how we do it and who we pick. Icon of the Seas is setting a new level, a new paradigm in entertainment and how it all is interconnected as one big system. What makes me smile is looking at the final product and how it all just comes together and becomes one.”
