MJM Marine has announced completing a landmark project for Aroya Cruises.
The company said in a press release that the collaboration marks the largest refurbishment ever undertaken in the marine cruise outfitting industry.
The project involved converting the former World Dream to the Aroya.
The vessel officially launched earlier this week, sailing from its homeport of Jeddah.
“This project underscores our dedication to delivering the exceptional and leading cruise outfitting in the marine industry,” said Gary Annett, CEO of MJM Marine.
“By working closely with Aroya Cruises, their stakeholders and our trusted partners, we have created a vessel that not only delivers on our client’s vision of ‘Remarkably Arabian’ but also celebrates the opening of a new sector within the industry,” added Annett.
MJM Marine was awarded a contract to upgrade all cabins, as well as build new suites, opulent dining areas and state-of-the-art entertainment facilities.
The transformation has resulted in the largest retail and children’s venues at sea.
MJM Marine said it has been extensively involved in all stages of this refit and refurbishment, from undertaking initial surveys and design development in Singapore, working aboard during its dry-dock in Rotterdam, relocating to Bremerhaven in Germany and finally sailing to enter service in Jeddah.
