Cruise News
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection launches its first 360-degree views revolutionary app technology for its luxurious ships

The premium river and ocean cruise line company launches the first virtual reality service for its prospective customers to enjoy its luxurious ships via revolutionary tech application.

 
Virtual guests can enjoy all the details of the luxurious S.S. Maria Theresa, the company's most impressive ship. Besides ship's features, the app introduces in-suite butlers, barmen and captain characters, for a unique and highly accurate virtual experience.

 
The developers used a high-tech spherical camera to capture the revolutionary footage of the fabulous boat. Every detail has been accurately presented for a very real on-board ship presentation experience. Six Ladybug cameras captured a 360-degree outstanding view of the ship’s interior to create a unique virtual reality experience.

 
The app comes as a useful tool for travel agents to showcase the company's unique packages to prospective Uniworld's guests.

 
The managing director of Uniworld UK, Kathryn Beadle, stated about the one-of-a-kind company's virtual service:

 
“We are very proud to be at the forefront of marketing technology with the launch our first virtual reality app.
“This is an exceptionally powerful application which arms agents with the tools to showcase the levels of luxury available on our ships.
“The experience on board the S.S. Maria Theresa is the embodiment of all that Uniworld represents: unparalleled luxury, comfort and sophistication; fine dining and the highest levels of service.
“Uniworld can now build deeper interactions with customers through the power of virtual reality technology.”

 
The Oculus Rift head-mounted display used to develop the app will be released to the public in 2016.
