CSMART Full Mission Bridge

Almere

The world’s most complex cruise ships. Their crews get ready right here.

CSMART Academy in Almere is Carnival Corporation's global training center, where maritime professionals come to prepare for the real thing. The crews of the largest passenger ships afloat train here before they take command.

What we built

TSC's simulation division built and maintains the ship bridge systems at the heart of that preparation. Full mission bridges that reproduce the exact controls, displays and physics of cruise ships across every class. Step aboard the actual vessel afterwards and it feels like a space you already know.

The challenge

Train the people responsible for the largest cruise ships afloat, against conditions nobody can safely create at sea. Get it wrong on the bridge in Almere and you find out in Almere.

Captains step off our bridge and say the only thing missing was the sea air.
