| CCL’s rejigs shopping

THE shopping experience on board Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet is being transformed, with renovated spaces & new items.

Fresh offerings available across the fleet include fine jewellery manufacturer Effy on 12 ships, jewellery retailer Swarovski on 25 ships & watch retailer TAG on 24 vessels.

Pandora will also be on 10 ships, Invicta (25 ships), Victoria’s Secret (22 ships) and Mexican-themed retailer Los Cincos Soles (four ships).

CCL vp retail William Butler said the refresh was the result of months of research.

“We’re committed to enhancing every aspect of our operations — which includes, of course, onboard shopping — and our expanded and enhanced retail offerings provide guests with an opportunity to enjoy some ‘retail therapy’ and take home a unique and memorable keepsake from their Carnival vacation,” he said.

Over the past year, Carnival has redone the shopping outlets on Carnival Sensation, Carnival Elation, Carnival Conquest and Carnival Valor with Carnival Victory, Carnival Fascination, Carnival Legend and Carnival Paradise scheduled for retail refurbs in the coming year.

When Carnival Horizon debuts in 2018, it will feature the line’s largest & most diverse shopping experience.
