It is intended that the vessel, the Harmony II, shall be used as a showroom for the UK contract industry as well as being available for hire. In between hires the companies will use the ship to present to customers wherever they are. It is intended that future ports of call may include Barcelona, Dubai etc., where local specifiers and designers will be invited on board the floating showcase.
