Das Traumschiff

Drama series revolving around the people and staff aboard a cruise ship. The ship travels to exotic locales, allowing interaction, relationships and adventures for people of different nationalities.

On the internationally renowned German production Das Traumschiff, the crew faced the complex challenge of managing multiple shoot locations across Auckland—ranging from remote farmland with ATVs and live animals to cave interiors and rugged coastal terrain.

To keep the production running safely and efficiently across these dynamic environments, the team relied on SetConnect as their central platform for operations, safety, and communication.

SetConnect enabled seamless coordination between the German production company, the New Zealand-based crew, and location teams. Daily digital check-ins helped maintain consistent communication and monitor crew welfare across all units, no matter the location or time zone.

The geo-fencing feature played a vital role, especially on the farm and cave locations, by ensuring crew remained within designated safe zones—critical for areas with livestock, machinery, and limited visibility.

Real-time messaging allowed instant safety alerts and updates, which proved essential in unpredictable settings like the cave shoot or ATV sequences. Crew could report incidents or concerns instantly, and supervisors could respond without delay.

All key documentation—risk assessments, site plans, health & safety protocols—was securely stored within SetConnect’s mobile-accessible platform. With quick access on their phones or tablets, crew members stayed informed and prepared with the most current safety information.
