Luxury bathing comes to the high seas with a new partnership between Hansgrohe and Royal Caribbean International. The cruise liner worked with Hansgrohe to equip its huge ocean liner Quantum of the Seas, choosing the company not only because of the products’ elegant design, functionality and durability; also because of the expert advice during planning, and service delivery even after a ship has been launched.
Quantum of the Seas is currently the largest and most technologically advanced of the cruise ships built in Germany. Launched in October 2014, the luxury liner is 348-metres long, 41-metres wide and boasts a cruising speed of 22 knots. It features networked computer technology on all decks, satellite internet service, and bars operated by robots – where guests use tablets to order cocktails.
This year, the floating holiday resort, which usually cruises in the Caribbean, is embarking on a world tour from its home port New York, with stops in Barcelona and Dubai on its way to Singapore and Shanghai. Its passenger staterooms and crew cabins, as well as the Vitality Salon and public restrooms, are equipped with a range of Hansgrohe products.
Hansgrohe’s Ecostat Comfort shower thermostat ensures water temperatures in the shower remain constant and comfortable. The Croma 100 Vario hand shower EcoSmart features a spray disc with four settings and uses up to 60 percent less water than conventional shower heads; it has a flow rate of nine litres per minute, making it particularly efficient.
The single-lever washbasin mixers in Hansgrohe’s Metris and Focus ranges have comfortable spout heights and save even more water with flow rates of only five litres per minute. The layout of the stateroom baths called for custom-made solutions. For instance, the pull rod of the Metris washbasin mixer is placed on the left instead of the right to enable ease of use. The water-efficient mixers in public restrooms are equipped with sensor technology, making them convenient and hygienic.
