In April 2022, Starboard joined LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Celebrity Cruises to launch a luxury shopping experience aboard the Celebrity Beyond. Departing from Southampton, UK, the voyage made its way to Western Europe while offering 8,966 square feet of retail space across two decks. Luxury houses such as Cartier, IWC, Panerai and Bulgari had a boutique presence during the voyage, while additional brands such as Stella McCartney, Marni and NORQAIN were featured in shops on the ship.
