Curated Partnerships


Co-Creating Exceptional Brand Experiences at Sea

Welcome to a new chapter in luxury cruising — where extraordinary brands meet extraordinary journeys, guided by a decade of onboard expertise and a network of elite designers, artists, and creators who trust me to take their stories to sea.

Curated Partnerships by Flavia Marin is not just a consultancy. It is a collaborative platform where cruise lines, retailers, and visionary creators come together to redefine what it means to shop, feel, and connect at sea.

I bring the players to the table. I align the vision. I copilot the execution.

How We Work

Luxury is no longer reactive. It’s curated.

1. I Source the Icons

Through trusted relationships and a proven track record, I personally represent exceptional creators — master jewelers, couture designers, object artists, and heritage maisons — who until now have only existed in flagship stores, galleries, and elite salons.

They’re not looking to expand. But they believe in this vision — and they’ve chosen to embark on it with me.

2. I build the bridge

Whether with a cruise line or an onboard retail partner (like Starboard, Harding+, or direct), I identify the right environment, ship concept, and guest profile for each brand.

From there, I navigate:

Contractual alignment

Space planning and merchandising

Brand storytelling and visual identity

Full integration into onboard retail operations

Think of me as the copilot — guiding both the brand and the cruise partner toward a seamless, mutually profitable, and brand-elevating collaboration.

3. I curate experiences — Onboard and Ashore

Because retail is no longer transactional — it’s emotional.

At Sea:

Private brand activations and intimate showings

Story-led events in signature suites or lounges

Collector-focused trunk shows

Cross-brand collaborations (e.g. jewelry + wine + art)

In Port:

Bespoke guest experiences (villa showcases, ateliers, vineyard receptions)

Destination-themed brand moments

Shore events for press, influencers, and HNW guests

Partnerships with local culture and hidden gems

Your brand travels. Your story unfolds. Your audience connects deeply.

4. I lead implementation — Elegantly and End-to-End

I don’t just make introductions. I stay at the table, guiding the rollout through:

Crew & staff training as luxury storytellers

POS strategy and stock management

Logistics, customs, and compliance

Ongoing performance coaching and activation refinement

I am not a vendor. I am your long-term strategic partner — one with sea legs, retail fluency, and a deep understanding of both brand and guest psychology.

This is not duty-free. This is destiny.

If you’re a brand looking to debut at sea — or a cruise retailer ready to elevate your luxury footprint — I bring the strategy, the brands, and the execution.

Together, we don’t just place product.
We place meaning. We place magic. We place legacy.
