Schedule of Content

The CSI schedule of content, in partnership with NEWH is the premier forum for the cruise interiors industry. With a unique focus on Europe’s ocean, river, and expedition cruise market, each session has been designed to inspire and inform professionals looking to expand their knowledge and get ahead of future trends.

The schedule features two educational content tracks – Interiors and Hospitality@CSI – providing focused sessions for those working across all areas of cruise interior design, guest experience, and hotel operations. With learning experiences including keynote panel discussions, Meet the Brand Q&As, Lunch & Learns,  and sustainability-focused working groups, attendees can learn in a way that suits them.

This year’s event will place shipbuilding centre stage, with a dedicated programme on day two, alongside an expanded focus on yacht design.

The 2026 programme launches this autumn. Until then, discover the sessions and speakers that shaped last year’s event
