Passengers playing a game show quiz battle in a cruise ship entertainment room
CRUISE & FERRY LINES

The sea-day attraction that needs no cast

Sea days demand entertainment; entertainment demands crew. The QuizX Arena breaks that equation: a fixed game show room where passengers battle at buzzer desks all day — presented entirely by the virtual host.

Entertainment capacity without headcount

Cruise entertainment lives on a hard constraint: every activity costs cast, and cast costs cabins. The QuizX Arena adds a headline activity with zero extra headcount — the virtual host presents every session, from morning family quizzes to late-night adult editions.

Multilingual editions (English, German, French, Dutch) serve international passenger mixes, and the 7+ rotating show formats mean guests on a 14-night itinerary keep coming back. Sessions are bookable through your existing activity-planning app like any venue on board.

The install is compact and robust: from 5 m² for a lounge-corner setup to a 30 m² dedicated arena, engineered for a marine environment. Revenue models vary — free-with-cruise as a satisfaction driver, paid premium sessions, or private corporate charters.

Frequently asked questions

Is the installation suitable for a ship?+

Yes — the arena uses fixed-mounted desks, marine-suitable fixings and standard ship power. We engineer the floor plan together with your technical team, from a 5 m² lounge corner to a 30 m² dedicated room.

How do passengers book sessions?+

Sessions are fixed-length (30–60 minutes), so they plug into your existing activity booking app or daily program like any other venue. Capacity is up to 24 players per session.

What languages are available?+

English, German, French and Dutch editions are standard. The Premium package adds fully custom content — shows built around your line's brand and itinerary.

What does it cost for a fleet?+

A single installation runs €19,500–€55,000+ depending on configuration, plus a content subscription. For multi-ship rollouts we quote fleet terms — get in touch and we'll build the business case with your entertainment team.
