Starboard Cruise Services is revolutionizing shopping on board cruise ships, creating a unique retail environment where cruise guests are inspired to indulge in a memory of their dream vacation. Retail on cruise ships has evolved to an entertaining shopping destination, full of discovery, storytelling and memories
Starboard customizes its retail offering by cruise line in order to offer an experience that will inspire and delight the individual cruise line’s guests. Cruise line passengers are engaged in unique experiences of discovery, entertainment and connection, often resulting in a celebratory purchase to remind them of their vacation. Product offerings range from luxury purchases such as fine jewelry, Swiss timepieces and leather accessories to affordable luxury in the form of beauty products, spirits, accessories or branded cruise apparel. Attentive Starboard Cruise Services employees cater to cruise guests who, free from time constraints, enjoy spending time discovering both new and classic brands. The quality of the products, the relationships with the sales advisors and the guest experience combine to create a uniquely entertaining and memorable shopping experience at sea.
