The extension covers an area of about 1,000 sq.m.

Celebrity Galaxy is a massive vessel of over 75,000 tons, 259 metres long and can accommodate in excess of 2,600 passengers.
Adding the balconies involved a special technique and a building method developed by a Finnish company, LSK-Project OY. Basically the method involves cutting up the hull of the ship of outside cabins and replacing the wall with an aluminium section that can be opened. A steel console is then fitted externally on to which is placed an aluminium balcony platform and an aluminium and glass railing.

The main extrusion is a hollow extrusion that is all of 420 mm wide and is made in Hydro’s largest press.

LSK’s platform construction consists of four large floor extrusions and one external cover extrusion. The main extrusion used in the platform is a hollow extrusion for maximum strength and low weight. This is all of 420 mm wide and is made using a press with a massive 7,000 ton compacting force at Hydro Aluminium Profiler. The great extrusion width gives a larger area with fewer extrusions, greater strength and shorter assembly times. The outer extrusion of the platform is designed to be easily fitted to the railing and is equipped with an external drainage channel for rain and wash water and also serves as a cover extrusion for the platform’s consoles.
