Park West Gallery Partners with Margaritaville at Sea

Park West Gallery has announced the launch of its partnership with Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line and will showcase fine art aboard Margaritaville at Sea’s Paradise and Margaritaville at Sea Islander.

The art dealer said in a press release that guests will enjoy a variety of art experiences from live auctions and seminars to artist meet-and-greets and curated exhibitions of original works.

Park West Gallery added that both novice and seasoned collectors can savour world-class art while onboard.

“We are thrilled to partner with Margaritaville at Sea to bring Park West’s world-class art auctions, exhibitions and exclusive events to their guests,” said John Block, Park West Gallery’s COO.

“Together, we’re creating unforgettable experiences that blend the joy of discovery, the thrill of collecting, and the spirit of adventure at sea,” added Block.

“Park West Gallery is a natural fit for the Margaritaville at Sea fleet, bringing even more immersive experiences to our laid-back, island-inspired escapes,” said Sally Imhoff, vice president of onboard revenue for Margaritaville at Sea.

“From first-time bidders to seasoned collectors, every guest can enjoy auctions, exhibitions and artist encounters that can bring our signature brand of fun and escapism to their homes,” added Imhoff.

Carnival Executives Detail Latest Ship Sales

Carnival Executives Detail Latest Ship Sales

Carnival Corporation has sold two ships this year, as the Seabourn Sojourn will be transferred to Mitsui Ocean Cruises next year, and the Costa Fortuna will sail for Margaritaville in late 2026.

“Over time, since ships get older, we will sell them to other parties,” said David Bernstein, CFO, speaking on the company’s second quarter earnings call.

“We do not feel that those parties come back to compete against us because they are generally in different marketplaces with different brands,” he continued.

Neither Bernstein nor Josh Weinstein, CEO, would comment on the sales prices of either ship, although Weinstein said it was “nicely over book value.”

“People came to us looking for ships and gave us prices that we thought were in the best long-term interest of the company,” Weinstein said.

He also explained that the Costa Fortuna’s departure from the fleet does not impact Costa’s core program in Europe, as the Serena will take its place in the market.
