Virtual Tours of Ships & Yachts

VR Vistas uses a new generation of full screen, 360 by 360 degrees, high quality,  immersive and interactive virtual tours that are tailored to the client's requirements.

Our virtual tours are different because:

  • We specialise in creating information-rich tours;
  • We can embed real people into tours using video and green screen techniques.

As a result we offer exciting and innovative virtual tours of ships or yachts. Our virtual tours include much information which can take the form of text, graphics, photographs, animations, audio and video.  This information can be held locally on the Web site or across any of the social networks on the Internet.

Here are some ideas:

  • A YouTube video shown on a screen inside the tour giving the Captain's Welcome - such features can be talked about on the viral marketing networks which could open up the virtual tour to the global market place;
  • Alternatively the Captain himself can appear inside the virtual tour to give his own speech - using video and green screen technology;
  • Links on notice boards inside the tour listing:
    • films available in an on-board cinema;
    • fire and safety information with procedures;
    • daily weather from the Internet;
    • this virtual tour information J together with interactive maps of the decks;
    • diary of events;
  • A live clock on the wall telling the correct time wherever the viewer is in the world
  • Interactive buttons linking to a cabin availability or a booking form on the Internet;
  • Direct button links to feedback on the social networks such as that from TripAdvisor or Virtual Tourist - all very important for eMarketing purposes;
  • Orientation information inside the tours labelling salient areas;
  • A fitness centre with audio, video or a 'talking body' describing how to use the equipment plus links to opening hours and what the procedure is when visiting;
  • Restaurants with links to menus or wine lists inside the restaurant – a glowing menu could be selected and the menu displayed;
  • A video showing snippets of key activities and events on board;
  • A video highlighting the day trips - what's on and where to go;
  • Child care facilities with clickable areas revealing timetables, programme of events, online booking, procedures and costs inside the tour;
  • Interactive photographs placed within the tour which open up and flood into colour when clicked upon;
  • Music and/or commentaries to accompany each tour.
