Carnival Jubilee is Carnival Cruise Line’s latest, largest, and most technically advanced ship to date.
With capacity exceeding 5,300 guests and 1,700 crew members, the Helios-class ship was designed to be Carnival’s biggest, brightest and boldest ships while exceeding expectations in every way.
To create the ideal lighting design to infuse world-class production value into each of Jubilee’s many entertainment venues, theaters, and performance spaces, Carnival’s design team needed a solution that encompassed versatile and showstopping performance; employed the latest, state-of-the art technologies; and could ensure maximum uptime, reliability, and ease of serviceability.
Through a long and successful partnership outfitting Carnival’s entire fleet of advanced vessels, Martin Professional was selected to provide entertainment lighting for all of Jubilee’s entertainment venues.
To surpass every lighting need and requirement in the design, a variety of Martin’s most powerful, efficient and progressive fixture ranges were specified for installation throughout the ship’s venues, including MAC Ultra, MAC Aura, ERA, ELP, Exterior, Atomic, VC, and more.
“Having the best equipment that we can get creates the ability for us to really immerse the room in light. … lighting can be impactful to create moods, to create atmospheres, and the better the product that we have, the better we’re allowed to create that.” – James Chipman, Production Lighting Supervisor, Creative Development Team, Carnival Cruise Line.
“For me, serviceability is key. That’s the number one thing that I look for. Can I have this fixture on day after day running hard for their shows for 7 to 10 years? And the answer is yes. So being able to interact with Martin as a company, the support is there… they’re very responsive.” – Alexander Nelson, Entertainment Lighting and Special Effects, Carnival Cruise Line.
“Martin fixtures are quite reliable and are easy to be maintained and easy to be cleaned. It’s easy for us to train the technicians because the way Martin fixtures are made are modular, and it’s easy to remove parts, clean them up, and put them back together.” – Silviu Ardelean, Supervisor, Entertainment Technical, Carnival Cruise Line.
“And we like the development and support that Martin brings. They’re always constantly showing us new fixtures, introducing us to new things and new ideas, and introducing better, brighter and more reliable products.” – James Chipman, Production Lighting Supervisor, Creative Development Team, Carnival Cruise Line.
