The Cruise Ship Interiors (CSI) Awards, supported by Global Headline Sponsor Kalmar, has now announced its 2024 finalists. The largest celebration of its kind within this niche industry, each year the CSI Awards honours the ingenuity and evolution of cruise ship interior design. Ten coveted awards span the industry’s best spaces, projects and products from across the past year.

This year, we’re not just celebrating the best in cruise ship interior design excellence. CSI Awards will also be celebrating its half-decade birthday. To commemorate this, we have introduced new judges and categories for 2024.  All-new categories celebrate design across the entire cruise ship, including Best Onboard Experience, Best Refurbished Space, and Galley Innovation of the Year. 

With nine newbuild launches in 2024 alone, there have been many exciting projects, spaces and products to choose from. The CSI Awards 2024 judges have cast their votes and selected 40 finalists. Now it is up to you to decide who will be taking home these coveted awards on 5 December.

The 2024 CSI Awards will be hosted in the Awards & Networking Lounge at Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Europe (CSIE), taking place 4 – 5 December 2024 at Excel London. Attendees will begin by raising a glass at the Trimline Drinks Reception before the ceremony starts at 4pm. This year’s award trophies are sponsored by Laticrete Marine.
