The Difference.
Most experiential and brand-activation agencies stop at creative and hand you off to a chain of vendors. We run all nine phases ourselves, and we build the technology that runs them.
End to End
All nine phases, one accountable crew running the whole build.
We Engineer the Tech
ATLVS, COMPVSS, GVTEWAY & LEG3ND, built in-house, live and in build, and delivered through Technology & Systems Engineering.
Ops as a Discipline
Logistics, crew, and compliance run as a full vertical: Venue & Site Operations.
Answers
Cruise FAQ.
How is GHXSTSHIP different from a traditional agency?
Three ways: we own the full nine-phase XPMS 2.6 production lifecycle end to end, not just creative. We build and implement our own technology: ATLVS the operator console, COMPVSS for site and venue operations, GVTEWAY the public interface and marketplace, and LEG3ND the knowledge layer that holds the standard, the courses, and the catalog. Some are live today and some are in build. And operations is a dedicated vertical, Venue & Site Operations, with logistics, crew, compliance, and analytics run by its own team.
What does GHXSTSHIP do for cruise ships?
End-to-end shipboard entertainment production: onboard venue and theatre production, production shows and revues, audio, lighting and video integration, dry-dock and refit installs, embarkation and terminal activations, and at-sea operations, on our nine-phase XPMS 2.6 lifecycle.
Who is cruise production for?
Cruise lines, shipyards and refit yards, onboard entertainment directors, charter operators, and brands taking an activation to sea.
Can you work to a dry-dock window?
Yes. Dry dock is a fixed window with no slippage, so the schedule is built backward from the undocking date and the long-lead items are ordered in Procure, well ahead of the yard period.
