Transporting Audiences to the Heart of Havana
Scenic Solutions collaborated with a cruise line client to develop a richly textured, Cuban-inspired environment for their onboard Havana-themed entertainment experience. Designed to immerse guests in the vibrant culture, color, and charm of 1950s Havana, this project blended scenic artistry with cruise-grade durability and mobility.
Designing an Atmosphere of Rhythm and Romance
Visual Storytelling Through Architectural Details
Our scenic team captured the essence of Havana by fabricating set pieces that echoed the city’s iconic architecture and street scenes:
- Aged stucco finishes, wrought iron railings, and painted signage
- Colonial archways and textured wall surfaces evoking Old Havana’s charm
- Carefully curated color palettes to reflect the vibrancy of Cuban nightlife
Practical Scenic Construction for Shipboard Use
All components were engineered to perform in the unique conditions of life at sea:
- Lightweight materials and reinforced framing for maritime safety
- Modular scenic pieces designed for ease of installation and maintenance
- Durable finishes to withstand movement, humidity, and extended use
