Motion simulation and fully interactive consoles will put them at the heart of the action, while 3D surround sound completes the immersive experience. And, it’s pretty believable too…
To create an authentic guest experience, the developers at Düsseldorf-based technology company, Tennagels had to understand the controls and technological functions of a real submarine and build these into Arvia II to create the intense storyline.
Your heart will race as you try to complete the quest and escape the submarine.
Thankfully, the escape room is appropriate for children so the whole family can get stuck in before going to enjoy the pool, snacks and entertainment on board the Arvia ship.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “We wanted to create something brand new and we believe this is the first of its kind in the world. Our technology partner specialises in things that have never been done before so boarding Arvia II is guaranteed to wow our guests and be like being in the biggest blockbuster movie.
“The unique environmental experience will also leave guests with a greater awareness of the need to protect our fragile marine ecosystems.”
