TEXELSTROOM, the island on board
The island experience already starts on board the TEXELSTROOM. Designer studio Vripack has implemented specific features of the Wadden area and the adjacent dune landscape in both the interior and exterior design.
The line pattern of the side view has been inspired by the main lines of the little tern. Pine cone scales are the source of inspiration for the exceptionally big windows in the heart of the salon and the colours which have been used bear a resemblance to both the dunes and the wads. The passengers' needs and wishes are central with regard to general usage.
The interior of the salon has been decorated with a pine tree native to Texel and serves as a meeting point for travellers. The salon deck has been equipped with various island-inspired seating areas, high tables with charging facilities for mobile hardware, an attractive restaurant, an interactive play area for kids and numerous screens which inform the passengers about the island and the surrounding area (made possible by the NIOZ and the NP Dunes of Texel).
The ingenious routing aboard the ships allows the passengers to find their way easily and fast.
This advanced ferry will be presented in depth in our monthly magazine Shippax CFI.
