PORTHOLE

NORWEGIAN Cruise Lines’ new Norwegian Joy is packed with technology, such as touch screens, high speed wi-fi and amazing virtual reality games.

But along with all the tech innovations there’s a common sense addition which very simply helps passengers orient themselves during a cruise.

It’s a very big ship, with kilometres of corridors and often it’s easy to become confused about which way the vessel is pointing.

Norwegian has come up with a simple solution, and it’s right at your feet.

Yes - it’s the carpet in the corridors which features an intricate aquatic pattern including schools of little fish.

The fish ( pictured) always swim towards the front of the ship so all you need to do is look down to figure out which way you’re going.
