nVent HOFFMAN Cabinets for Meyer’s Luxury Cruise Ships – Protecting Automation Systems
Enclosures manufactured by nVent HOFFMAN were installed in the world-class cruise ships built at Meyer Turku shipyard. These cabinets are used to protect the automation systems that control the ship’s operations.
The ships built at the Meyer Turku shipyard for Royal Caribbean Cruises – such as Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas – are the best-equipped and the highest-standard passenger vessels in the world.
The strength of nVent HOFFMAN enclosures in cruise ships lies especially in their wide product range and extensive certifications, including those for the marine industry.
The nVent HOFFMAN enclosures, provided by Klinkmann Automation, that were installed to the most luxurious ferries in the world, are used to protect the automation systems that control the ship’s operations.
Top-Level Luxury for the Caribbean
Royal Caribbean has ordered a total of four ships from Meyer Turku, two of which are already sailing the world’s oceans. Icon 2 was delivered to its owner in July 2025, Icon 3 will be delivered in 2026, and Icon 4 in 2027. Once completed, the ships will head to the Caribbean to serve luxury-level travelers.
The exceptional nature of top-class cruise ships becomes clear when examining their dimensions. For example, Icon 3 is 365 meters long, 66 meters wide, and has a draft of 9 meters. It has 20 decks, a crew of 2,350, and can accommodate approximately 5,600 passengers.
