Only the best is good enough for the decks and flooring of a luxury cruise ship
Passengers aboard the Star of the Seas are looking for a unique cruise experience. That is why the entire vessel— down to every square centimetre of deck and flooring surfaces— must radiate quality.
The Star of the Seas is a luxury cruise ship built for Royal Caribbean International and delivered to the customer in June 2025. The ship was constructed at Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, where Kerabit Pinta was responsible for coating the outdoor decks as well as parts of the interior flooring surfaces.
DECK AND FLOORING SURFACES FOR EVERY PURPOSE
The Star of the Seas is an enormous vessel: 365 metres long and more than 50 metres wide, meaning there was an extensive amount of surface area to coat.
“ According to our monitoring charts, approximately 30,000 square metres of coatings were installed,” says Tapio Suikki, Site Supervisor at Kerabit Pinta.
The deck coatings aboard the Star of the Seas are primarily polyurethane-based. The compound used on sports courts is more resilient than the teak-imitation coating used on walking decks.
