MJM Marine completes largest cruise ship refurbishment

MJM Marine, a leading cruise ship outfitter based in Northern Ireland, has successfully completed a significant project for Aroya Cruises. The newly refurbished vessel, formerly known as “World Dream,” officially launched this week from its homeport in Jeddah. This collaboration represents the largest refurbishment ever undertaken in the marine cruise outfitting industry. The transformation of the ship into the flagship “Aroya” marks a new era in luxury cruising, setting a high standard for innovation and design.

A Revolutionary Transformation

The project involved an extensive conversion of the former “World Dream” into the luxurious “Aroya.” This flagship vessel under the Aroya Cruise brand features a unique blend of culinary delights, captivating entertainment spaces, and culturally immersive design. The Aroya aims to redefine luxury cruising by offering an experience that is both opulent and innovative.

MJM Marine was tasked with upgrading all cabins, constructing new suites, and creating lavish dining areas. The company also developed state-of-the-art entertainment facilities. Notably, the Aroya boasts the largest retail and children’s venues at sea, ensuring that every guest’s journey is exceptional. The transformation process began with initial surveys and design development in Singapore. The project then moved to a dry-dock in Rotterdam before relocating to Bremerhaven, Germany. Finally, the vessel set sail to enter service in Jeddah, showcasing MJM Marine’s comprehensive involvement in every stage of the refurbishment.
