Carnival Horizon
‘Carnival Horizon’ is the first ship equipped with Schindler’s PORT Technology. The cruise ship has been supplied with 33 elevators and 4 escalators, installed by Schindler's specialist Marine Unit.
The 16 core passenger elevators are all equipped with Schindler’s pioneering PORT Technology, which enhances the current operations and enables a smooth and efficient embarkation and debarkation process for up to 4,500 passengers.
MSC Seaside
MSC Seaside is a cruise ship operated by MSC Cruises, the lead ship of its namesake class, designed with a unique architecture that emphasizes outdoor spaces and a strong connection to the sea, featuring a seaside promenade, a water park, and panoramic elevators. The ship is equipped with 15 passenger elevators—including 4 panoramic ones—14 crew elevators, 2 ADA platforms for accessibility, and 7 service platforms. To enhance the guest experience, the passenger elevators are equipped with the PORT destination control system, which significantly reduces waiting times by intelligently managing elevator traffic.
