The company will work directly with global luxury brands to provide products ranging from perfume and cosmetics to confectionery, fashion, accessories, watches and jewelry.

'Aroya Cruises will provide our passengers with joyful and memorable premium experiences, and a crucial part of this is the retail offering on board,' Cruise Saudi CEO Lars Clasen said.

Aroya Cruises plans to set sail in 2024 with the former World Dream, which is undergoing an upgrade at Bredo Dry Docks in Bremerhaven.
