Norwegian Encore Offers Thrilling Shops Onboard

First-at-sea brands, luxury brands, and exclusive products highlight the final ship in Norwegian’s Breakaway Plus class

Starboard Cruise Services is celebrating the retail launch onboard Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Cruise Line’s fourth and final Breakaway Plus class ship. We saw these shops firsthand during our recent visit and made a few purchases of ourselves.

Boasting more than 7,000 square feet, The Tradewinds Shops invites guests to Splurge. Save. Encore. Excitement Every Time You Shop On Board. The ship offers luxury retail spaces, first-at-sea brands, limited-edition spirits, inaugural exclusives, and sustainability collections that align with Norwegian’s environmental commitment.

“We are thrilled about inviting guests to the many exciting retail offerings that were specifically curated for Norwegian Encore,” stated Lisa Bauer, Starboard’s president and CEO. “There is a lot to discover, from top-name brands to immersive events – we give guests so many great reasons to return to the retail shops again and again throughout the voyage.”

Luxury Retail Offerings

Norwegian Encore bolsters the cruise line’s luxury presence. It offers Norwegian’s first Bvlgari boutique launched outside of Asia. Its fully branded Swiss timepieces enclave is one of the largest on any ship at sea, with selections from Panerai, IWC, Hublot and Cartier. Known for its Italian flair and Swiss technology, Panerai is a first for Norwegian, with an elevated space that is the brand’s most expansive at sea. The ship also features a Cartier Espace, enhanced Le Vian fine jewelry area, and a first at sea John Hardy shop in shop.

Firsts for Norwegian

IT Cosmetics, the popular, game-changing cosmetics brand, is available for the first time at sea on Norwegian Encore. NYX Professional Makeup, one of the beauty industry’s fastest growing brands, is available for the first time on Norwegian Cruise Line.

Limited-Edition Spirits

Guests can enjoy a selection of limited-edition rare spirits exclusive to Norwegian Encore that include Barton 1792 Full Proof Bourbon Barrel, Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon, Herradura Tequila Single Barrel and Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Whiskey. Each Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Whiskey bottle features a commemorative Norwegian Encore medallion, providing guests with a keepsake of the cruise.
