Costa Cruises has tapped acclaimed New York designer Adam D. Tihany as creative director for its two new build ships.
According to a release Tihany will oversee an ‘elite group of designers’ to create interiors inspired by an ‘Italy’s Finest’ theme.
Layouts will incorporate suggestions from Costa guests on the two ships which will be the first powered by LNG fuel while at sea.
"We are fortunate to have Mr Tihany, the world’s pre-eminent hospitality designer, as creative director for our next-generation ships," said Neil Palomba, president of Costa Cruises.
Tihany has designed for some of the world’s major cruise and resort brands.
He worked on the public spaces on Holland America Line’s newest ship Koningsdam and the entire design project for the Seabourn Encore.
"It is a rare honour to narrate a design story from the director’s chair. The fact that this opportunity creates a partnership with Costa Cruises is all the more extraordinary. The phrase ‘Italy’s Finest’ not only describes the design concept, but wholly embodies the Costa brand," said Tihany.
