Carnegie is proud to announce the launch of Xorel Cruise, a collection of wallcoverings designed specifically for marine-grade applications. Crafted to meet the rigorous fire safety and performance standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Xorel Cruise combines sustainability, style, and comfort to elevate cruise ship interiors to new heights. Xorel Cruise is Cradle to Cradle Silver certified, and designed to work in tandem with Carnegie’s suite of other IMO products.

“Xorel Cruise represents decades of innovation and performance and joins Carnegie’s wide array of product solutions that have been tested and certified for use on cruise ships,” said Heather Bush, Chief Creative Officer at Carnegie. “As a trusted design partner for cruise design professionals, Carnegie offers designers and architects a variety of versatile solutions that not only meet stringent regulatory requirements but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of cruise ship interiors."

With over 35 years of experience working within IMO standards, Carnegie understands the unique challenges faced by cruise design professionals, who today are expected to design for all the amenities and luxuries of a resort hotel. Xorel Cruise provides a seamless integration into Carnegie's suite of IMO-certified products, simplifying the selection process and offering a comprehensive design system for cruise interiors.

Xorel Cruise comes in five distinct patterns inspired by the natural beauty of the sea. Between them, the five patterns are available in 24 colorways, offering designers a wide range of options to suit any aesthetic vision:

Seacrest - Fluid lines undulate across the fabric, mimicking the ebb and flow of ocean waves. These wave motifs vary in thickness and curvature, adding depth and movement to the design.

Seaside - Through the strategic layering of lines, the design achieves a sense of bold dimensionality inspired by the grid-like structure of cross hatching.

Seaspray - Sweeping strokes traverse the fabric in a mesmerizing array of directions. These lines create a sense of energy and interest across the surface of the design.

Seascape - Seascape is a design that celebrates the natural beauty and timeless elegance of linen textiles, bringing a sense of tranquility and refinement to any space it adorns.

Seabreeze - Subtle textures reminiscent of seagrass or kelp sway gently amidst the waves, adding a tactile dimension to the design.
