Cruise ship escalators and elevators

When passengers are on a cruise, the experience is more important than reaching the destination. Therefore when they step on board, they want everything to be perfect, from the first impression to the last look back as they disembark and head for home. KONE escalators and elevators are an important part of the passenger's memorable experience.

Ferry escalators and elevators

Ferries place a wide range of challenges on the people flow solution. The elevators and escalators must be attractively designed to create a pleasant passenger experience. They must work efficiently with all levels of passenger traffic, and they must provide efficient people flow throughout the voyage, particularly at the critical times during embarkation and disembarkation.
