Carnival Photo Gallery

Transformed on-ship photo experience

About The Project

The Challenge

It’s fun to take photos, so our challenge became to make sure the on-ship photo experience was equally as engaging and fun. We built a digital platform and gallery space that was functional and still represented the fun personality of the brand.

For vacationers, photos are prime currency. And for the Carnival brand, capturing and selling these photos is big business. But for a long time, getting your photos meant walking into a room with thousands of analog prints.

The Photo Gallery Experience

The Photo Gallery experience is a large collection of digital displays that show guest photos that have been taken on the ship, and cruise voyages and destinations. There are 33 pairs of 46” displays stacked vertically in portrait orientation called Lamels and a 14 display video wall.

Behind the scenes, there is a web based scheduling utility that will allow CCL to schedule the order/frequency/duration of different types of content throughout each day. This can be accessed in the main server room for the Photo Gallery, or from a computer on the ship network with proper credentials.
