SmartSea has played a pivotal role in modernizing the AROYA, a Saudi Arabian luxury cruise liner.

Back in 2023, SmartSea and its partners conducted a thorough assessment of the ship’s IT infrastructure and cybersecurity systems, working to upgrade and secure critical systems. They then looked to reinforce the ship’s infrastructure and connectivity, including a patchwork upgrade to the vessel’s systems, which ensured it could safely accommodate the crew and contractors on board. This was crucial to prepare the vessel for its extensive modernization, involving a complete overhaul of its IT and operational systems.

Key features of the modernization project include:

• Seamless connectivity: The integration of 2,000+ access points across the ship, ensuring reliable Wi-Fi connectivity for guests across various regions, including the Red Sea and Mediterranean.
• Advanced cybersecurity: Enhanced security measures to protect guest data, crew operations and communication systems.
• Guest-facing technology: Full integration of passenger systems, including bookings, reservations, entertainment, food and beverage management, and onboard activities.
