Allin Corporation (ALLN.OB), a Pittsburgh based, multi-faceted software/hardware solutions provider, announced another win Friday for its Interactive Media arm in the lucrative cruise ship interactive television market. Costa Crociere, Italy’s (and Europe’s) number one cruise vacation line will have Allin provide the interactive television solution for its two newest and most advanced cruise ships, the Costa Luminosa and the Costa Pacifica, scheduled for delivery in spring 2009. The projects will be Allin’s seventh and eighth installation for Costa, and will include several advanced communication features.
The Costa Luminosa and Costa Pacifica systems will provide a variety of in-cabin entertainment and information options, including the ability to pause and bookmark on-demand movies, preview and purchase shore excursions, and learn about onboard offers and events. Services will be available in six different languages.
At 93,700 tons, the Costa Luminosa is Costa’s 13th ship, totaling 1,130 staterooms and suites, most of them with private verandas. Luminosa is a trendsetter in contemporary design, providing lavish interiors that make it Costa’s most exclusive and innovative cruise ship. The larger Costa Pacifica, at 114,500 tons and 1,500 staterooms and suites, will be a uniquely music-themed ship, designed to take guests on a musical journey as they visit different public areas with the best music from every era. Costa serves over 1 million cruise guests each year, covering 250 destinations in the Mediterranean, Europe, the Caribbean, South America, the Far East, and Indian Ocean.
