Nautilus Entertainment Design...Overview

At Nautilus Entertainment Design (NED) we are theatre consultants, lighting and A/V designers and project managers for a wide variety of entertainment, hospitality and military projects world wide. We have 16 people on staff in our office in San Diego and have been in business for 20 years. Projects include:

Over 45 cruise ships for Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Costa Crociere, Seabourn, Cunard and P&O where we have consulted and designed systems for all of the entertainment venues, broadcast systems, digital signage and architectural lighting. We have also provided project management for special projects such as exterior large format LED video displays, photo labs, interactive photo galleries and a 4D theatre. (all of these projects are built in Europe where we have developed relationships with contractors in Finland, France, Germany, Italy and the U.K.)

In the past 18 months we have completed 20 different projects on military bases and we are currently working on an additional 12 projects. Our scope of work includes the A/V system design for facilities related to command & control, housing, dining, training, meetings and secure video teleconferencing.
