At sea with Harlequin
British Harlequin has been involved with stage and dance floors for a number of cruise liners. Here we look at three of the most recent.
Former prima ballerina and latterly ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge Darcey Bussell will probably feel at home aboard P & O’s latest fleet addition - the Azura - thanks to the presence of Harlequin floors. As ‘godmother’ of the brand new 115,000-ton ship, Darcey Bussell has several dance areas to choose from. Black Harlequin Cascade is on the main stage of the 750-seat theatre as well as in the Explorer Lounge and black Harlequin Marine Cascade on Deck 5. Installation by British Harlequin called for a team of four working for two weeks over a three-week period that included sea trials and split between Trieste and Monfalconi, Italy.
A more challenging work environment was experienced installing black Harlequin Marine Cascade and repairing the stage sub-floor during a major re-fit of Starcruises’ Superstar Libra moored in international waters off Port Klang, Malaysia. Working in extreme heat and humidity and without the benefit of air-conditioning, the Harlequin installation team took to sleeping in deck chairs beneath the stars at night to escape the unbearable heat of their cabins.
It was black Harlequin Cascade too for the dance floor aboard the Sun Princess, a project managed by Harlequin Australasia.
