Italian design expertise meets the heart of the American cruise industry.

Among the international trade shows dedicated to naval design, Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Americas (CSI Miami) stands out as the only event in the United States entirely focused on cruise ship interiors. The next edition will take place on June 9–10, 2026 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, located in the beating heart of the global cruise market.

Since 2010, Italian Contract 4HD has supported Italian companies at the most important international events dedicated to contract and hospitality furnishings. For 2026, the initiative expands to include CSI Miami—a highly qualified environment rich in opportunities for Italian design.

A Rapidly Growing Market

North America is home to the largest cruise industry in the world. In 2024 alone, over 20.5 million passengers embarked from U.S. ports, generating an economic impact of $65 billion. Forecasts for 2025 estimate 37.7 million cruise passengers globally, confirming a steady and sustained growth trend.

Modern cruise ships are sophisticated environments, designed to offer immersive and personalized experiences. This translates into a growing demand for high-quality furnishings, innovative materials, and distinctive design. Italian companies, with their tradition of excellence, are naturally positioned to meet these expectations.

A Business-Driven Event

The 2025 edition of CSI Miami welcomed 3,000+ participants, including buyers, naval architects, interior designers, and project managers from leading cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Virgin Voyages, and many others.

With 300 exhibitors and 1,350+ B2B meetings, the expo confirms its role as a strategic platform for direct engagement with key industry players. Over 60% of attendees are decision makers, holding influential roles in procurement and project selection.

Opportunities for Italian Companies

Participating in CSI Miami means entering a thriving ecosystem where naval design is at the forefront of innovation. Italian companies can showcase their collections, establish international partnerships, and position themselves as trusted suppliers for new builds and refitting projects.
