Enhancing Passenger Comfort and Capacity with Nautilus Pods
Metalika collaborated with SMC Design to address a key challenge for DFDS ferries: increasing sleeping capacity without sacrificing passenger comfort or operational efficiency. By integrating over 100 Nautilus Pods across three vessels (Seven Sisters, Côte D’Albâtre, and Optima Seaways), the team provided a solution that optimizes space while delivering exceptional privacy, comfort, and aesthetics.
Key benefits for DFDS include:
Efficient Space Utilization: The compact design maximizes sleeping capacity within the existing cabin space.
Ease of Maintenance: The pods are designed for quick cleaning and low-cost upkeep, supporting high-frequency use.
Fast Installation: Preassembled units minimized onboard installation time.
Passenger Satisfaction: Overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the pods’ success in improving the onboard experience.
This successful implementation demonstrates the versatility and value of Nautilus Pods for ferry operators, offering a scalable and customizable solution for enhancing passenger accommodations.
