The cruise line's new flagship Carnival Jubilee promises to bring a range of assortments and experiences anchored in its values that invites guests to "Choose Fun"
Starboard Cruise Services has collaborated with longtime partner, Carnival Cruise Line, to launch the latest retail offerings onboard Carnival Jubilee, the new flagship for the world’s most popular cruise line. Setting sail from Galveston, Texas, on December 23, the third of Carnival’s new excel-class ships promises to bring a wide range of curated assortments and experiences, anchored in its values that invite guests to "Choose Fun."
“We’re excited to once again partner with Carnival to transform ordinary shopping into journeys filled with extraordinary moments,” says Lisa Bauer, President & CEO, Starboard Cruise Services. "Not only does the retail offering align with Carnival’s guests' preferences and style, but it also celebrates the ship's home port in the Lone Star State of Texas with custom created Carnival branded collections and so much more.”
Carnival Jubilee will offer expansive retail spaces with multiple shops across three decks. In spaces that are both playful and elegant, guests will find several categories varying from watches and sunglasses, spirits, perfumes and cosmetics to fashion jewelry, handbags, apparel and Carnival branded items including collections exclusive to the ship.
“Our guests are going to love the new collections created specifically for Carnival Jubilee that help us celebrate her homeport of Galveston and the rich heritage of Texas. These exclusive new collections help us to build on the already expansive retail offering our excel-class affords, delivering a truly next level shopping experience for our guests,” said Luis Terife, Carnival’s Vice President of Onboard Guest Commerce at Carnival Cruise Line. “Recently, we were recognized for the 'Best Onboard Shopping' by Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine, and soon guests on Carnival Jubilee will experience this recognition firsthand with a truly world-class onboard shopping experience.”
