Starboard creates Italian-inspired retail for Carnival Venezia

This entails an expanded offering of luxury brands and original collections, many that will be firsts for Carnival passengers. The ship is due to begin cruising from its New York City homeport later this week.

Italian inspiration

Taking inspiration from Italy, Carnival Venezia boutiques feature iconic brands such as Bvlgari, renowned for its watches, fragrances and accessories. The Cartier boutique showcases signature fragrances and a watch collection, and Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer has a dedicated shop for its legacy timepieces.

Travelers can embrace 'Carnival Fun Italian Style' by discovering the vibrant prints designed by ICaftani and shopping handmade jewelry that combines the centenary tradition of Murano glass and modern design from Lionve.

Signature vacation scents from Versace, Tom Ford, Love Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana are available, along with classic sunglasses designs from Gucci and Fendi.

Luxury leather shop

Carnival Venezia’s upscale offerings continue with a dedicated luxury leather shop with items from Marc Jacobs’ fashion-forward-designed accessories and handbags, along with Emporio Armani’s handbags, known for their precise Italian craftsmanship.

At Front Street Watches, shoppers will find classic timepieces from Bremont, Gucci, Longines, Michele and Philip Stein.

What Goes Around Comes Around provides a curated selection of pre-owned designer leather handbags and accessories.

Trio of ‘Fun Italian Style’ collections

Three collections focus on 'Carnival Fun Italian Style,' with Venezia masquerade accessories such as feather boas, fans, hats, T-shirts and home decor designed for onboard activations.

The Carnival Venezia Racing Stripes Collection, inspired by the Italian scooter, offers apparel, hats, drinkware and luggage tags.

And the Carnival Venezia Inaugural Collection infuses bold colors from the Italian flag in unisex windbreakers, polos, T-shirts, drinkware, totes and hats.
