The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Enterprise & Art was commissioned to create an impressive art program for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and curate a permanent art collection on board for the inaugural yacht.

The specially designed yacht, scheduled to set sail in April 2021, measures 190 meters, can accommodate up to 298 guests and features 149 suites, each with a private deck. The onboard experience reflects the casual elegance and unparalleled level of individual guest service for which the iconic brand is recognized.

Cunard – Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Mary 2

After Enterprise & Art was involved in the refit of Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2000, our agency received the prestigious order from Cunard in 2001 to supply the entire art collection of the new flagship, the Queen Mary 2. Hundreds of artists from many countries made artworks especially for this ship, including Barbara Broekman (tapestry), Menno Jonker (glass), Ans Hey (sculptures), John McKenna (bronze relief) and Michael Binkley (sculptures).

Enterprise & Art was responsible for the selection of all artists, supervising the assignments, transporting the artworks to the wharf in St. Nazère in France and supervising the installation of the artworks.

Holland America Line – 10 ships

Commissioned by the interior decorating company VFD from Utrecht, Enterprise & Art has contributed to the contemporary art collections of 10 ships of the Holland America Line: Rijndam III, Veendam IV, Rotterdam VI, Volendam III, Zaandam III, Amsterdam III, Prinsendam, Statendam V, Zuiderdam II and Oosterdam.

Hundreds of Dutch and foreign artists have produced custom made works for the public spaces as well as for the cabins and luxury suites on board of these ships.

P&O Ferries

Two new P&O cruise ferries that sail the Rotterdam-Europoort – Hull route, the Pride of Rotterdam and the Pride of Hull, were both fully furnished in 2001 by Enterprise & Art.

Enterprise & Art was responsible for the entire organization, from the selection of artists and guidance of their commissions to transport and installation of the artworks on board.

More than 20 Dutch and British artists produced works for these two ships. Among them Barbara Broekman, Titia Ex, Jan Hendrix and the British Tim Maguire and Matthew Radford.

Viking Line – Viking Xpress

Commissioned by Tillberg architects from Sweden, Enterprise & Art delivered artworks in 2007 for various spaces on board the new ferry Viking Xpress.

Photos of historical sailing ships were selected for the lounge, while photo collages of Miami were framed behind epoxy for the Conference Room. A tile panel was designed by the same artist for the Kids Buffet.
