On Bellissima MSC installed the fleet's first "virtual assistants" in all passenger cabins. The digital device (still unnamed) will be introduced fleetwide over the period 2019-2024. In 7 languages, the new technology ("cruise industry first") answers all passenger requests regarding onboard facilities and services. Passenger data (including itinerary/tour and shipboard preferences) is stored in the Cloud Storage system and used on the next scheduled voyage. The device (sized ~15 cm) can be activated whenever passengers choose. A waiver must be signed to agree for the personal data to be stored. The new device was developed by the US-based company Harman International (a subsidiary of Samsung), which also has developed digital audio solutions for major corporations, such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon.
