Public areas

Spacious, relaxing public spaces provide wide open, unobstructed views throughout the ship. We built areas such as the mud room, library, laboratory, hair salon, hospital, staircases, main restaurant, observation lounge, club, gym, treatment room as well as the spa and sauna. Light, natural tones and wooden details were used in the interior. Special Merima features were Barrisol ceilings and decorative ceiling beams in main restaurant and mudroom. They were customized and manufactured in-house by Merima. We provided all the background installations hidden behind the walls and ceilings, including electrical work, ventilation, plumbing and insulation. We also supplied all hinged and sliding doors for the areas.

Cruise ship

Aurora Botnia

M/S Aurora Botnia is a RoPax passenger ship commissioned by the shipping company Wasaline in 2021. It is a modern ferry with two cargo decks. It accommodates around 800 passengers and has a freight capacity of 1,500 lane meters for trucks and cars. We implemented the project with a mega-turnkey approach, covering over 6,000 m² of public interior areas including background installations, all cabins and cabin areas, as well as the wheelhouse and engine control room. The project was carried out from steel to finishing by Merima. The shipyard made the hull and we at Merima built everything else.

Public areas

The project covered several areas, including a pub, bar, buffet restaurant, kids’ area, shop, café and several lounges as well as all staircases. We provided all the interior outfitting from floor to ceiling. Throughout the ship, we installed wooden details such as wood-paneled ceiling elements and seating groups, with magnificent wooden pillars and lighting rising from the center towards the ceiling.

Special features by Merima’s Inhouse production on the ship included the restaurant’s decorative wall, buffet area bar framing and cladding, divider wall, raised floors and profiles.

Cabins

This was the first time Merima was in charge of building and installing all cabins. The cabins were prefabricated in a warehouse near the shipyard. The vessel has passenger cabins, crew cabins and ADA-cabins, or barrier-free cabins for the disabled. The cabin modules included walls, ceiling, lighting, electricity, beds and the bathroom module with its piping and fixtures. Once the cabin modules were in their places on board the ship, floors were installed and connections to the electrical, piping and air-conditioning networks were made. The cabin solutions were tested before on-board installation at Merima’s factory premises in Helsinki.

Cruise ship

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is an Excellence-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. It is the largest ship in the history of Carnival’s fleet, and it is the world’s first cruise ship to have an on-board rollercoaster. Mardi Gras measures 181,808 gross tons and has a maximum capacity of 6,500 passengers.

The project was carried out during a global pandemic, which caused extra challenges. In spite of this, Merima’s dedicated project team and supplier network succeeded in meeting the customer’s design and quality criteria. Close collaboration with the shipyard and the owner throughout the project lifespan was one of the key elements behind the project’s success.
