Biophilic Design in Cruise Ship Interiors
A cruise vacation is a luxury vacation option that allows passengers to connect with nature and feel good about themselves. In this design approach, known as biophilic design, the interior design of cruise ships is decorated with nature-oriented themes.
Biophilic design brings together the tranquility of blue and green in the middle of the sea, allowing you to travel in a calming atmosphere surrounded by natural textures. At CITA Design, we create cruise ship interior designs that highlight brand identity using a biophilic design approach.
What is Biophilic Design? Why is it Important in Cruise Ship Design?
Biophilic design is a concept that reflects the connection between humans and nature in spatial design. Today, people spend long periods of time in enclosed spaces. Therefore, integrating natural elements into interiors is a powerful way to promote well-being. Designing spaces with natural elements allows people to feel good psychologically, physiologically, and emotionally.
Cruise ships are isolated living environments. Therefore, using natural elements in these spaces is especially important:
- Plants, water elements, and natural materials can be used to reduce stress levels.
- A sense of warmth can be created with organic textures such as wood, stone, or linen.
- Passengers’ circadian rhythms can be regulated through the use of natural light.
- Panoramic windows can be used to provide natural views for mental relaxation.

Biophilic Design Applications for Cruise Ship Interiors
Biophilic design is not just about decorating spaces with plants. At CITA Design, we apply the biophilic design approach to cruise ships with a holistic perspective.
- Integration of Natural Light and Scenery
Wide glass panels are used to let in sunlight. Additionally, seating areas can be arranged to face the sea view. Light effects can be created indoors to help passengers feel the rhythm of the day.
- Material and Texture Selection
Ceilings, walls, and floors can be covered with patterns inspired by nature. Sustainable materials are selected in line with an environmentally conscious design approach. FSC-certified wood, organic fabrics, and natural stones can be used to add a relaxing atmosphere to the environment.
- Relaxing Sound and Scent Elements
Natural sounds (such as the trickling of water) can be incorporated in soundproofed areas, while calming scents can be diffused throughout the space using aromatherapy. A spa area, in particular, can offer an immersive experience that blends with nature.
