On Saturday 18th January 2025 the next important milestone in the build of ASUKA III by NYK Cruises was celebrated. The ship undocked from the Meyer Werft shed for the first time and is now moored at the fitting-out pier in the shipyard harbour. During the manoeuvre, the cruise ship also received its funnel.
The SMC Design team of Oliver Raine, Senior Designer/Project Manager, and Paola Guadagnin, Onsite Inspection Manager, proudly attended the ceremony and party with NYK Cruises and Meyer Werft. They were very grateful to be invited to attend this special day for everyone involved on the project.
ASUKA III is in the final stages of a 5-year project, SMC Design are delighted to be involved in the interior design, branding, artwork and FF&E for NYK Cruises’ first ship in more than 30 years.
