The demand for cruise ship entertainment is bigger than ever, with most cruise lines ordering new build ships each year.

Finding trustworthy external contractors with a history of working within the cruise industry that also have extensive entertainment experience can be tricky. Here at Jacob Shooter Lighting Design we specialise in delivering high quality lighting design and lighting programming to the cruise ship industry for onboard entertainment, whilst also supplying large scale productions shoreside.

As well as working on new-build cruise ship projects within the ship yard or outfitters yard, we also have a wide range of experience delivering lighting for new entertainment offerings whilst the ship is in full operation.

Jacob Shooter Lighting Design can provide full lighting documentation, plans and paperwork for new build projects, full installations or rig swaps, as well as lighting design and lighting programming contractors for on-board production installs.

Meeting the schedule demands of a ship in operation can be challenging, so having contractors with a successful history of working within this environment is paramount to the success of a production show installation or new rig swap.

Using pre-programming and visualisation, Jacob Shooter Lighting Design can build lighting showfiles and creative designs shoreside, reducing the time needed for programming onboard the cruise ship. This also means we can share design renders with the creative team ahead of time for sign off.

Knowledge of the top lighting desk brands is vital to success onboard, and Jacob Shooter Lighting Design has vast experience programming lighting on cruise ships using consoles from brands such as High End Systems / ETC Hog 4, ETC Eos, GrandMA2 and Grand MA3 .

If you have a project in need of lighting design or lighting programming then please do get in touch to discuss further.
