Kingship’s new Ocean SUV Series is a cross- over between a leisure yacht and an expedition yacht. The idea started from a desire to build a yacht combining safe, economical and long range capabilities yet offer high level of comfort, storage and practical interior layout making them suitable for world cruising without frequent stops to restock. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134380/image/large-69836ba6b2db919a1513eee5cf8efb3b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/134380">This unconventional design by Sergio Cutolo at Hydro Tec of Varazze, Italy is comparable with the functional characteristics of an SUV/4-wheel drive car. Only contrary to the “gas guzzling” car, they are extremely low in fuel consumption and can go a long distance without making frequent stops for refuel. They come in 3 sizes of 90’, 116’ and 150’and their range will be 5000 nm, 7500nm, and 9500nm respectively. The uncluttered exterior is frill free, easy to maintenance and offers passengers a high vintage point from which to view the passing scenery. All space are highly practical and even the 90’ does not compromise on providing for 10 guests and 4 crews. The 116’ has a full- beam main- deck master for maximization of space and an internal elevator connecting all decks can be added as an option upon owner’s request for the series 116’ and 150’. Extensive exterior and dining facilities can also be found on all decks for relaxation and entertainment. With Ocean SUV, adventure doesn’t have to mean roughing it. It is a yacht that combines luxury yacht styling with expedition yacht functionality, while minimizing maintenance requirements and keeping operating costs low. The SUV 90’ will be classed RINA/ MGN 280 Code category 2 while SUV 116’ and SUV148’ will both in compliance with RINA/ MCA LY-2 unlimited.

Kingship introduces new Ocean SUV series 

Designing a superyacht that challenges industry norms requires not just creativity, but also a deep understanding of the market. This is precisely the approach taken by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a>, when they conceived the idea for the Velarca 135—a 41-metre yacht that merges the allure of motor yachts with the elegance and sustainability of sailing yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326252/image/large-c00ed26e9e250bf40ef13dc2fe07429a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326252">SuperYacht Times sat down with founder Sami Lehtonen and Jarkko Härmälä of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> to find out more about the inspiration behind the Velarca 135 sailing yacht concept and the future plans for the company.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216497/image/large-3d9dd95f0c4dd4f965ac0f5c0ea44a80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216497">The Velarca 135 yacht was first unveiled in 2022 as a sailing yacht that combines luxury with style and most importantly, takes into account the growing demand for sustainable yachting. Reflecting on the origins of the Velarca 135 concept, Sami revealed that the idea emerged on a sunny day in August 2021 in Helsinki’s Kaivopuisto Park. Accompanied by an advertising agency and several bottles of champagne, the team were spurred by a bold vision. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242232/image/large-8fd4ddc1c0153b0949334960523201b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242232">“We knew that motor yachts dominate the superyacht market with over 90 percent market share, which also means they produce most of the greenhouse gas emissions. So, we decided there and then to start selling sailing yachts to the motor yacht clientele,” Sami explained. This marked not only the birth of Velarca 135 but also the formation of a business model that would allow <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> to enter the superyacht market, without a designer or shipyard already in place.One of the cornerstones of the Velarca 135 design is sustainability, a principle that Sami was determined to uphold without compromising on luxury. “Sustainability is a tricky word,” elaborated Sami. “Many luxury products have a longer lifespan because they are valuable, beautiful, and timeless. This longevity contributes to true sustainability.” He pointed out that while well-built sailing yachts already have low emissions, the motor yacht segment presents an opportunity for significant improvement. “We believe that longer lifespans combined with reduced emissions provide a solid foundation for improved sustainability.”&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus on the inspiration behind its 41m sailing yacht concept Velarca 135 (2022-09-23 10:00:00 +0200)">Isola Corvus on the inspiration behind its 41m sailing yacht concept Velarca 135</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242234/image/large-51b335bc454fd0d4239d88589eae3888.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242234">Merging motor yacht features with sailing yacht designThe Velarca 135 is not just a sailing yacht; it’s a hybrid that incorporates key features typically found on motor yachts, such as an expansive beach club and a streamlined profile. When asked about the design process, Sami recounted the strategic decisions that guided the yacht’s development. “We consulted well-known yacht brokers in the Mediterranean to understand what their customers prefer in terms of yacht size and amenities. We also prioritised safety and simplicity, ensuring that even a less experienced crew could manage the yacht with ease.” The design was then handed over to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/164" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beiderbeck Designs (Company)">Beiderbeck Designs</a>, who were given full artistic freedom. “In my opinion, the result was not only quite clever and practical, but also very pretty,” Sami added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216494/image/large-d23ae9f9a161e73b660e7a5c5bafcac6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216494">The Isola Corvus vision and challengesAs a relatively new player in the superyacht industry, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> brings a fresh perspective, heavily influenced by Sami’s background in offshore racing. “We dared to do what we wanted without asking too many questions,” Sami explained, reflecting on the fearless approach that has driven the company forward. One significant innovation influenced by Sami’s racing experience was the rig design. “I was never a fan of the Chinese gybes, as the boom had the potential to cause damage or injury by slamming from side to side when jibing; so I wanted to eliminate the risks of this happening completely. The Velarca rig is simply a boomless, rope free, two masted solution, with two rolling and self-tacking jibs on each mast and a third jib in an inverted position between the two masts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216499/image/large-e6b6b2919ec59af2b44f6642ef4ec58f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216499">Despite their innovative spirit, the journey hasn’t been without challenges. “We didn’t have a designer or shipyard partner in the beginning, both of which are must-haves to even launch a design,” Sami admitted. However, a fortunate connection with Finnish superyacht hydraulics entrepreneur Nadine Proctor opened doors, leading to a partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/164" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beiderbeck Designs (Company)">Beiderbeck Designs</a>. “By January 2022, the design was ready to launch,” Sami recalled. The next challenge was finding a suitable shipyard, a process that ultimately led them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5728" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Knierim Yachtbau (Company)">Knierim Yachtbau</a> in Germany, known for their expertise in building lightweight sailing yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216493/image/large-b5f0be620cd828b3d8d58c4e1938e36a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216493">“Velarca is structurally more challenging to build than a motor yacht, so the shipyard must have experience in building demanding lightweight sailing yacht designs,” Sami explained. He also highlighted Knierim’s involvement in the wind power industry as an added benefit that aligns with their sustainability goals.&nbsp;However, marketing a yacht that blurs the lines between motor yachts and sailing yachts presents its own set of challenges. Sami remains optimistic that the industry will eventually create a new category for such crossover yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216498/image/large-29b199b0e1cba3a4051ab412d7aadfa4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216498">The future of sailingLooking ahead, Sami sees potential for the superyacht industry to follow the commercial shipping sector’s lead in adopting sail-assisted designs and alternative fuels like methanol. “The commercial sector can’t afford to over-engineer but seeks straightforward solutions to bring down emissions. The superyacht sector, however, seems more willing to experiment with alternative fuels,” Sami observed. He believes that the industry will eventually recognise the value of sailing and sail-assisted designs as viable solutions for reducing emissions.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> is already planning its next project, though details remain tightly under wraps. “Offering something different is paramount to us because we are still far from being a household name in this industry.

The superyacht is presented in two styles: an explorer version named Phobos and a navetta-style yacht named Deimos.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326276/image/large-83bd4e18b9a356ee6951c2e376c56f0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326276">Named after the moons of Mars to suggest the potential for long-range travel, Phobos is conceived as an explorer yacht, while Deimos, distinguished by its white livery, offers a more elegant navetta style. Both versions are built on the same construction platform and feature similar interior layouts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326277/image/large-1a68a9fa4e08ccf27866d6aaafea2a01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326277">Reflecting on the design of the new concept, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1190" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gian Paolo Nari (Company)">Gian Paolo Nari</a> explained: "The initial idea was to create a vessel with exceptional autonomy and a design that avoids unnecessary ornamentation while retaining distinctive and recognisable lines. My focus was on simplicity, linearity, and a clean composition, blending horizontal and vertical elements to establish a profile that captures the unique signature we set out to achieve."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326278/image/large-5cf4072b0926db21d3eb9383031cdc60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326278">Both versions of the yacht include an aft garage with side-door launch capability.

A dumbwaiter ensures convenient service between the main deck and the sun deck, with a stop at the pantry on the upper deck.The Navetta version also features a second pool, with a sunbathing area located at the aft of the main deck, overlooking the beach area at the stern.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326280/image/large-84581c735c7035895a96683f65a21cc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326280">Regarding accommodation, the yacht offers four staterooms on the lower deck, comprising two guest cabins and two VIP suites. An additional guest suite on the upper deck brings the total capacity to 12 guests. The full-beam owner's stateroom is located forward on the main deck, spanning over 37-square-metres, with a 12-square-metre terrace providing views on both sides of the vessel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326281/image/large-15b6933c0f4057595eac4a09c772591d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326281">The crew is accommodated in the forward section of the lower deck, with three double rooms accessible via dedicated stairs that ensure completely separate pathways from the guest areas. This section also includes a spacious storage and fridge room, a technical room, laundry facilities, and access to the mooring area. The captain's quarters are located on the upper deck, adjacent to the wheelhouse.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326275/image/large-185128e1e920bbaeb5e79091c8f35e6a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326275"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1190" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gian Paolo Nari (Company)">Gian Paolo Nari</a> has collaborated with various shipyards and companies, including the Italian brand <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a>.

Guests are able to board via twin staircases, which stretch across her beam at the bottom before dividing into separate paths. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322388/image/large-654f7fd79066ac8af1b36ffe5c88bead.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322388"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322390/image/large-b14550a989917ba18fd53e3737f2e657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322390"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322389/image/large-dcb1f1ad081d7e8c8650775272e29153.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322389">The main deck of Zephyr is home to a large swimming pool, with sun loungers surrounding the focal point of this deck. Forward, an alfresco dining area allows guests to enjoy meals, under the protective cover of her hardtop.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322393/image/large-1ea5bf9c1d4a894c58420fc45a295658.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322393">Moving up a level, guests are greeted with a large seating area, which sweeps around her superstructure. Providing guests with plenty of seating options, this area is also equipped with an alfresco dining arrangement, which seats up to 14 guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322392/image/large-fa6abeef2701049ea3fe67cadc1ece10.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322392">Each of Zephyr’s decks include glass bulwarks, which stretch the length of her stern and provide guests with uninterrupted views of the horizon. Her upper deck includes an additional seating area, with lounge sofas and a coffee table style seating arrangement. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322391/image/large-53699e763c5197683cbdf5a4331e48fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322391">At her bow, Zephyr boasts a private Jacuzzi and seating area, which can be accessed via glass doors. Although details on her interior configuration are yet to be released, these images suggest that this will be the owner’s deck, with private access to create a secluded oasis.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322394/image/large-f1bb8f9b0fbb8e4d5889c523ea3f2dd1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322394"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322395/image/large-e44abf88b7e89ecd5eac3b7b68730577.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322395">The sun deck of Zephyr includes a Jacuzzi at her bow, with large sunpads and shaded seating options. Her aft seating area also allows guests the opportunity to relax on oversized seats, while facing out to sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322382/image/large-fd10cfaacadd0f338bef1dedb3ff2b6d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322382">Zephyr is also able to accommodate a helicopter, thanks to her elongated bow, which features a dedicated helipad seamlessly integrated into the yacht's sleek design. This addition not only enhances her functionality but also provides a convenient and luxurious mode of transport for her guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322381/image/large-fc98ce5e070791d804ed732f9e64daac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322381">Overall, the first images of Zephyr display the yacht’s seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Dörries Yachts unveils 115m H2-designed yacht concept Zephyr

Dörries Yachts has unveiled the first renderings of a new 115.2-metre superyacht concept, Zephyr.

First Look: Dörries Yachts unveils 115m H2-designed superyacht concept Zephyr

Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) has unveiled the first details of a superyacht conversion concept for the 78-metre merchant vessel Western Spirit. Constructed as a Ice Class Seismic Survey ship by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4539" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Verft AS (Company)">Ulstein</a> in Norway in 1993, the conversion, which has been conceived by Captain Grant Maughan, will see the ship converted into an expedition superyacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321386/image/large-0fc882df9b89c26f5ed7c0e9d1d41568.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321386">“A lot of the yacht industry is about aesthetics; nice compound curves, stainless steel, and glass areas”, expedition yacht designer Captain Grant Maughan explained. “Some of it is only useful in a benign environment with good weather. The vessels I prefer to design are more hardy for long distance voyages and operating in areas like the Arctic or Antarctic.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321389/image/large-c5d026b5568fc172f7cd9e4a71b7d635.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321389">An example of a “more robust and user-friendly design” is the concept for Western Spirit’s conversion, depicted in renderings. Delivered in 1993 and previously named Eastern Spirit, Western Spirit is characterised by her compact interior layout, as well as her robust propulsion system and machinery package. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321387/image/large-fa2adaf3b0a5a81fe4eb52d5d88203c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321387">“This is one of several vessels we are selling from our fleet. Many of our vessels have gone on to new careers, such as support vessels for Space X, Space Perspective, yacht conversions, yacht support and motherships for sport fishing and diving,” Chuck Levert of ECO explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321388/image/large-0e050dbe1fae3a2ab889fdfa9527dcd9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321388">At a volume of 3,586 GT, Western Spirit contains 36 staterooms. In addition, the vessel, which has a draft of 5.4-metres, provides plenty of room for prospective guests to enjoy onboard. She also boasts a helipad and has a hanger to store two helicopters.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321383/image/large-a9a4cb0ed7e77c1768f9a0cbc0f8cd90.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321383">Regarding her performance, Western Spirit is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4539" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Verft AS (Company)">Ulstein</a> Bergen engines with the capacity to reach a top speed of 14 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/321382/image/large-7ca1adde2760f7125f3b265369346ca0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/321382">

These include optimised guest staterooms and enlarged crew accommodation for the 90 Offshore. The 105 Offshore, the flagship of &nbsp;the range, will include an additional ensuite guest suite bringing the total to four, including a full-beam owner’s suite, and a third crew room bringing the total to three. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326710/image/large-58b3c3ff2a21f0f2a51a12cfb1eba148.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326710">Joost Mertens, Sales Director at Doggersbank, commented on the development, saying, "We recognised the necessity to introduce larger models that can better integrate modern technologies and provide more space for guests and crew.” He further noted, “Our collaboration with Patrick Coote of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson</a>, which has been both long-term and productive, identified a market niche for capable, custom-built explorers supported by expert naval architecture.

Notably, the addition of an extra crew room in the 105 Offshore will improve service standards, increasing the crew complement to five, captain included.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326713/image/large-c55bbb527fc652d545467715faad445a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326713">Other key features for both models include an eight-person jacuzzi forward on the upper deck, with a large crane and tender aft.“With the Doggersbank 90 and 105 Offshore, we’re giving Doggersbank a sporty facelift while doing justice to the proven platform’s characteristics,” says Mertens. “The result is boats built for enhanced safety and comfort, with lots of open deck space that owners can really get behind.”Moreover, both models can also be fitted with hybrid propulsion and have larger battery banks for extended silent night operations.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326712/image/large-605e9a25822c8b4e1fa77271ad9a6e06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326712">

7 Simple ways for yacht crew to improve the charter experienceYacht charters are all about having happy guests and smooth crew operations. Charter guests who are having a great experience are more likely to leave a generous tip and consider returning in the future. The key to achieving this lies in clear communication and flawless teamwork among the crew.As crews continue to raise the bar in personal service and onboard standards, guest expectations have followed suit. To help meet these growing demands, here are 7 ways crew can improve the guests charter experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326353/image/large-12e5abac090bdd1300270a315a66e1d0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326353">1. Live updated itineraryWith <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, guests can explore the itinerary and learn about the destinations before or during their trip, building excitement for their journey. Since plans can always change, <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> allows for easy updates with just a few clicks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293520/image/large-bcaf871c82671be3bc474149a03718d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293520"> 2. Detailed Guest Schedule&nbsp;Keeping both guests and crew informed of the daily schedule ensures smooth operations and avoids any confusion.&nbsp;When guests see the schedule at the start of the day, they know exactly which activities are planned, when to be ready for lunch, any dress code requirements and what’s on the menu—without having to rely on the principal guest or crew for updates.Displaying the guest schedule in the crew mess keeps all crew members aware of the day’s plans, allowing them to coordinate their tasks and departments more effectively.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311450/image/large-953cc2b5445f1cb8248f106307355540.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311450">3. All menus at your fingertipsOrdering onboard often involves multiple steps: requesting, waiting for, reviewing a menu and then placing an order. With the <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> app, guests can skip these steps and conveniently browse wellness, cocktail, and wine menus right from the sun deck on their phone or iPad. This not only saves valuable time for the crew, but also provides a faster and more seamless experience for guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286901/image/large-8defdd490628d90bb717556354f626d9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286901">4. Get to know the crew&nbsp;Boarding a yacht and meeting the crew can be a lot to take in, especially when trying to remember names. <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> makes this easier by showcasing all crew members in one place. Guests can quickly check crew names before ordering a cocktail or learn more about each member through their profile.For administrative users, managing crew visibility is a breeze. Just click a button to set crew members as ‘Onboard’ or ‘On leave’ based on their current status. This eliminates the need for printing and distributing updates in each guest folder.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293740/image/large-de38eb6d25c9f2a72ebc78b22e3f83da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293740">5. &nbsp; &nbsp; Easy access to Tenders &amp; ToysWith <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, guests can explore all the boat’s toys without the need to display everything or give tours of the tender garage. The crew can add important details like setup times, license requirements, and country-specific restrictions. This helps the guests plan their activities smoothly without having to seek additional information.Guests can browse the options at their own pace, ask a crewmember to set up their preferred toys and head to the beach club whenever they’re ready.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311630/image/large-5585c10755c10f26985acb9788813391.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311630">6.

With <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, you can showcase a gallery of the day's highlights on the TV during dinner or turn-down service, helping them relive and remember the fantastic day.
