How Smart Glass Is Transforming Cruise Ships, Yachts, and Marine Interiors

In the evolving world of shipbuilding and marine interior design, every detail matters—especially when it comes to balancing functionality and aesthetics. Gauzy’s switchable smart glass redefines comfort, privacy, and aesthetics aboard cruise ships, yachts, ferries, and commercial vessels. From bridge glazing to space saving cabin partitions, discover how this innovative light and vision control technology is helping maritime professionals design sleeker, smarter vessels.

Seamless Privacy and Comfort for Passengers and Crew

In high-traffic environments like luxury cruise suites, spas, and VIP lounges, privacy should be available on demand. Gauzy’s Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) smart glass enables transparent-to-opaque transitions at the touch of a button, offering dynamic privacy without sacrificing light. Designers can eliminate curtains or bulky partitions, allowing more flexibility in open-concept layouts.

Gauzy’s Suspended Particle Device (SPD) smart glass allows glass to tint in seconds, and provides precise levels of shading and at its darkest blocking more than 99% of visible light to enhance visual comfort.

Ship outfitters and naval architects benefit from its durability and marine-grade quality, tested and optimized for varying climate conditions. The product is lightweight and energy-efficient—key advantages for vessel design and operations

Enhancing Safety and Visibility in Navigation Spaces

Gauzy’s SPD (Suspended Particle Device) smart glass is ideal for bridge glazing and navigation-critical areas. When exposed to harsh glare or sunlight, SPD blocks heat and glare while maintaining visibility, improving crew comfort and operational safety.

Unlike traditional shading methods, Gauzy’s SPD technology adjusts in real time and integrates seamlessly with onboard control systems. Its fast-switching speed and customizable zones make it perfect for wheelhouses, control rooms, and helm stations where visual clarity is essential.

Designing Distinctive, Future-Ready Interiors

Smart glass isn’t just about function—it’s a statement of innovation. For interior designers and cruise operators looking to create standout experiences, Gauzy’s glass transforms standard partitions, shower enclosures, or observation decks into immersive, high-tech environments.

With options for patterned, tinted, or projection-compatible panels, Gauzy empowers creative freedom while maintaining marine certification standards. The technology supports custom cuts and curved applications, making it a fit for futuristic lounges or high-end suites at sea.
