A room full of too-serious old men, many wearing monocles, paying top-dollar for priceless antique works of art. If that’s the "art auction" that comes to mind, adjust your expectations before your Carnival ® cruise! Unlike a stodgy auction house, your vacation features a series of auction events designed to turn high art into high fun. From the rapid-fire "Lightning" action to the cheap thrills of the "under $500" event, there are plenty of chances to try your hand at bringing home something great and have a blast doing it. Unlike land auctions, we even hold fun interactive events like the "Guess the Price" competition. That said, our onboard auctions aren’t completely without fancy things — after all, what’s an auction without free-flowing champagne?

A Guide to Cruise Ship Art Auctions

Hidden amongst the water slides, rows of sun-drenched deck chairs and surf and turf dinners is one aspect of a cruise vacation too many people are overlooking; art auctions. You may not embark on a cruise vacation specifically for the auctions, but many cruisers find them to be fun, engaging and informative activities on par with everything else found on board the modern cruise ships of today. From the colorful pop art of Peter Max and Romero Britto to the detail and precision of a Picasso lithograph or a Rembrandt etching, there’s something for everyone when you explore a gallery at sea curated by a professional art auction service like Park West Gallery. 

Park West Gallery curates countless auctions each year on board major cruise lines like Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian, MSC, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises and the gallery understands how to make the experience a memorable one for both casual art fans and dedicated collectors. A new pre-register initiative recently announced by the gallery is aimed at growing interest and appreciation for art in the cruise industry.

Cruise Ship Art Auctions: What to Expect 

After a morning spent enjoying Eggs Benedict and catching a few rays on the lido deck, cruisers often wander through an onboard lounge to find it’s been magically transformed into an art gallery. Since 1969, Park West has been the leading provider of art for cruisers and their team is second to none when it comes to a fun and engaging experience. 

From the moment you walk into a cruise ship art auction, the goal is to inform, inspire and entertain. Wait staff circle the room with bubbling flutes of champagne as people peruse the selections before the auction begins. There’s no obligation to bid on anything if you don’t want to! Many come to get out of the sun for a bit, sip their champagne and learn a thing or two about art and an auction from the best in the business.

  A lot of curious cruisers who find themselves attending an art auction on board the ship like to chat with their fellow cruisers about the art, the ship, the cruise line and the experience as a whole. It’s a great place to meet someone new!

One thing most don’t realize about art auctions is how fast-paced and entertaining they actually are. Auctioneers can be downright mesmerizing when they command the room and start taking bids. It may sound like nonsense, but an auction chant, or bid calling as it is sometimes called, is actually the auctioneer repeating the current bid and raising the price for the next bidder. Should no one else bid higher after a few moments, the work is sold!

In case you do see a work you like, pre-registering for the event makes a lot of sense. When you pre-register at Park West’s website, cruisers can get $50 worth of buying credits towards a work of art as well as a free gift from the gallery! 

Learn About the Art Before the Auction 

If you find yourself exploring the ship during the first few days of the cruise, make sure you check out the art gallery and view some of the collection set to be auctioned off. The friendly and informed gallery staff are more than happy to show you around the gallery and answer any questions you may have about an artist or individual work. For novice art enthusiasts, this is a great way to familiarize yourself with each work and perhaps find one that catches your eye.

You never know when a work of art will catch your eye | Photo: Park West Gallery

90% of Park West’s art comes from partnerships with living artists and occasionally the artists drop by the cruise ship auctions to surprise their collectors. Whether you’re looking for something nice for a wall back home or you’re curating an art collection of your own, learning about each work prior to the auction is one of the best things to do! If you’ve cruised before on the same ship, always head back and see the gallery again as the selection changes and something new may stand out! 

Go for the Experience! 

For many, cruise ship art auctions are something new and exciting that doesn’t come up very often in daily life. Cruising is about having fun and experiencing new things, so why not check one out on your next cruise vacation! Don’t forget to log onto the Park West pre-registration website and choose which line you’re sailing with for an extra $50 in buying credits and a free gift!

The Best Art Galleries and Auctions on Board a Cruise Line

The Best Art Galleries and Auctions on Board a Cruise Line

If you’ve never taken a cruise before, you probably wouldn’t connect the world of traveling around the globe on a cruise ship with the world of high art buying and collecting. But alongside the glorious sunsets beyond the horizon, the luxury swimming pools, and the fine dining restaurants, cruise ships have a surprisingly rich offer when it comes to art.

From remarkably serious art galleries to heavyweight art auctions, cruise ships are a major player in the art world, and every sailing will be full of critics, artists, buyers, and collectors.

Adding a little art appreciation to your cruise can improve your trip immensely. And after all, if you are cruising in the lap of luxury with spa treatments and haute cuisine available around the clock, why wouldn’t you want the finest in high culture too?

So whether you are cruising from California to Mexico for the first time or a seasoned cruise art connoisseur looking to find the best the art world has to offer, wherever it may be, here are some of the best art galleries and auctions to watch out for in the world of cruising.

Connoisseur’s Corner

One of the best-known and most notable art galleries on board a cruise ship is the Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Connoisseur’s Corner. This gallery rivals many of its land-based compatriots with a carefully curated selection of contemporary artworks by both well-established and emerging artists. Connoisseur’s Corner is also something of a hub for art appreciation and education and hosts regular events and activities such as lectures and workshops for guests to participate in.

The Art of the Cruise: Q&A with Park West Gallery

Interview with Park West Gallery

Wondering what a cruise ship art auction is all about? First: it’s exhilarating, exciting and educational, even if you don't know a thing about art. Second: it’s about learning to appreciate the finer things in life, which can include surprisingly affordable art - the ultimate of all vacation souvenirs! Imagine hanging a Thomas Kinkade in your living room or a colorful Peter Max at your office. Wow, what a great cruise memory you’ll be able to enjoy every day! Third: Did I mention there’s free champagne?

You don't have to be an art aficionado to buy what you love. Some of the Park West Gallery artists that have captivated me over the years include French painter Jean Claude Picot and Salvador Dali's Divine Comedy series, as well as artists Tomasz Rut from Poland and Shari Erickson of Atlanta.

Let’s learn more about the art of the cruise! Here’s my Q&A with Stoney Goldstein , Vice President of Sales for the land-based Park West Gallery of Southfield, Michigan. Since 1969, Park West has had the pleasure of helping over 2 million clients start a love affair with collecting art. They ship about 6,000 artworks to their clients every single week and proudly offer auctions on every ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, including the new Norwegian Bliss .

I don't know anything about art and I've never attended an onboard auction before. What's your advice?

The wonderful thing about art is that you don’t need to know anything to enjoy it. The best advice we can give is, “Follow your eye.” You will know when a certain work of art connects with you—you’ll just feel it. And, once an artwork catches your eye, don’t be afraid to ask questions!

Besides the art auctions, do you offer any other events onboard?

We're always very excited about our shipboard programming. These aren't just art shows-they're events! On a seven-day Norwegian Cruise Line itinerary, we will usually offer around three unique auctions, each with a different theme and featured artwork. You can come, have a glass of champagne on us, and watch the auctioneer go. If you've never attended a live auction before, it's quite an experience. Everyone who attends receives a small promotional artwork and then we do raffles for larger works throughout the auction.

But we don't just do auctions. Throughout a weeklong cruise, we also usually hold three to five different art seminars, receptions, or exhibitions. Our art experts might take you through 30,000 years of art history in 30 minutes or they might host a "night at the museum" evening art gala. Our goal is to make art engaging and fun for everyone.

I’ve heard that art is expensive.

We pride ourselves on carrying artwork that will fit every budget. If you just want one small painting for your living room or if you're completely redoing your corporate offices, we have an incredible variety of artwork available.

In fact, we recently rolled out an all-new e-gallery to all of our onboard galleries. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for on the ship, one of our personal art consultants can help you browse over 2,300 works in our digital galleries. We even have a tool that will allow you to try out different frames on each work in our e-gallery, so you can know exactly what it will look like when you get it home.

Explore Art on Norwegian Cruise Line Ships with Park West Gallery

What art mediums will passengers see onboard Norwegian Cruise Line ships? Are there any new techniques?

Park West offers a huge variety of artistic mediums—unique paintings of all kinds, watercolors, etchings, graphic works, lithographs, sculptures—the list goes on and on.

Our artists are constantly experimenting with new and exciting mediums. We have two new mediums, in particular, that our artists and collectors absolutely love. One is called dye sublimation, where the artist uses an advanced technique to transfer their image onto glass, metal, or plastic surfaces. That's related to our other new medium, the caldograph, where the artist bonds their image onto a wooden panel-it's a modern twist on a classic medium. ("The Mona Lisa" was actually painted onto a wood panel!)

Are some art mediums more popular than others? 

Our clients love variety, so it's hard to say if one medium or size is more popular than another. We sell art of all shapes and sizes. On Norwegian Cruise Line, we definitely see a lot of interest in artwork from Peter Max, Lebo, and Guy Harvey, which makes sense because all three have painted the hulls of Norwegian ships. It's no surprise, after seeing a work of art that big, that a cruiser might want to take a piece of that home with them.

For more information, read: A Closer Look at the Hull Art on Norwegian Cruise Line Ships .

I need an insider tip: what are your favorite up-and-coming artists you can get enough of?

Park West is always adding to our family of artists. Recently, we’ve fallen in love with the work of Matt Beyrer , who creates these breathtaking paintings on wood that really incorporate the grain of the materials he’s working with. In terms of up-and-coming names, we also adore Orlando Quevedo , a gifted magic realist from Cuba, and Alexandre Renoir , a brilliant landscape artist who is actually the great-grandson of the famous Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Why should I buy art onboard when I can buy it on land?

At Park West, we're big believers that art should be for everyone. One way we put that into practice is by holding our art auctions on cruise ships. We don't expect you to come to us-we're going to bring the art to you. While you're having the vacation of a lifetime, we want to make sure that you have access to some of the most beautiful art in the world. You can browse, you can learn more, or maybe you bring home something to brighten your kitchen or office. If you leave your cruise with a new passion for art, our mission is accomplished.

There seem to be some misconceptions about onboard art auctions, can you clarify?

A lot of people only know art auctions from movies, where they seem stuffy, snobby, and expensive. In reality, our auctions are the exact opposite. We want to welcome you. Come browse with us, have a drink with us, see the show, and ask us a million questions. We love it. And, with our 40/40/40 guarantee-where you can return any artwork for 40 days or exchange any artwork for 40 months-you don't have to worry about post-vacation buyer's remorse either.

Where can cruisers find out more about the artists Park West Gallery represents?

The best source of information is parkwestgallery.com . We have full biographies of all of our artists, galleries of their works, and feature articles and interviews where you can learn even more about them.

Does Park West Gallery offer physical land-based galleries?

Yes. Park West has a beautiful gallery in our hometown of Southfield, Michigan, which is also connected to the Park West Museum, a free-to-the-public museum where we display our private collections of old and modern masters like Picasso, Renoir, Rembrandt, and more. In addition to our home gallery, every year, Park West holds several traveling land events in vacation destinations all over the world. These are often made available to our VIP collectors and they can involve excursions, fine dining, auctions, and opportunities to meet some of your favorite artists.

The Importance of Size in Cruise Ships

When it comes to cruise ships, size truly matters. The average ship weighs over 100,000 tons, and the importance of size in cruise ships cannot be overstated. It directly impacts the overall passenger experience. Here are four reasons why size is crucial:

More onboard amenities: Larger cruise ships have the space to incorporate a wide range of amenities. They can have multiple restaurants, pools, theaters, and even water parks. This allows passengers to have a variety of entertainment options to choose from.

Increased passenger capacity: Bigger ships can accommodate more passengers. This means more opportunities for socializing and making new friends onboard. With a larger passenger capacity, there is also a greater chance of finding like-minded individuals to share the cruising experience with.

Enhanced stability: Size plays a role in the stability of a cruise ship. Larger ships tend to have better stability in rough seas. This results in a smoother and more comfortable sailing experience for passengers.

Greater choice in staterooms: With more space available, larger cruise ships offer a wider variety of stateroom options. Passengers can choose from interior cabins, ocean view rooms, balconies, and luxurious suites. This allows them to find the perfect accommodation to suit their preferences and budget.

Can I Change My Carnival Cruise Dates If I Have Already Pre-booked Bar Packages?

Yes, you can change your Carnival cruise dates even if you have already pre-booked bar packages. However, it’s important to note the Carnival cruise bar closing times to ensure you can fully enjoy the package during your trip. Contact the cruise line to make any necessary changes to your booking.

As I reflect on the process of changing Carnival Cruise dates, I can’t help but see it as a journey of transformation. Just like a caterpillar morphs into a beautiful butterfly, so too can our plans evolve and adapt.

Carnival Cruise Line’s policies and procedures provide a clear path for change. By being flexible and open to alternative dates, we can navigate through any challenges that come our way.

So, embrace the symbolism of change, update your bookings, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure with Carnival Cruise Line.

Cruise Etiquette: The Dos and Don'ts of Cruise Ship Art Auctions

By Scott Laird

Cruise Etiquette The Dos and Don'ts of Cruise Ship Art Auctions

Art auctions are a mainstay of big-ship cruise lines —and they usually run in a similar format: show up, drink a few glasses of free Champagne, take a numbered bid card, and peruse the artwork to be auctioned off. Make the right bid, and you'll go home with travel memories and a new piece to add to your collection.

On land, art auctions are mainly reserved for seasoned collectors in major cities. But what's extraordinary about a cruise ship is that everyday passengers can access the auction experience, says John Block, the Executive Vice President of Park West. Park West is the first and largest operator of at-sea art auctions aboard lines including Azamara, Royal Caribbean , Celebrity , Norwegian, Princess , Holland America , and Carnival . “The vast majority of our clients don’t live in the population centers where major galleries concentrate–we’re offering an opportunity to choose from a wider selection of art," he says. The artwork auctioned on cruise ships also sells at a variety of price points, creating a broad appeal to travelers, Block notes. You might drop a few hundred dollars, or even hundreds of thousands, depending on the cruise line and destination, which can both factor into the art available for auction.

As for the pieces on display, expect to find artwork across various mediums, and artists that range from the big hitters—WyLand, Peter Max, Pablo Picasso—to more contemporary and even up-and-coming names. Some perennial favorites from Park West’s cruise galleries include Itzchack Tarkay, Anatole Krasnyansky, Chris Derubeis, and Emile Bellet.

Suffice to say, it's a fun way to spend an afternoon at sea, but there are a few things to know before you step up and raise a paddle. Consider this a crash course on participating in art auctions on cruise ships, from suggested etiquette to the fine print.

How it works

At the start of the event, auctioneers will explain the difference in package prices. Some art is handed over on the ship for passengers to take home themselves, while some is sold inclusive of framing and shipping, and others are sold without those inclusions. Usually, they'll try to add to the excitement before things get rolling with giveaways, added-value deals, and—of course—by talking up the art on show. Each auction will also kick off with clear instructions on bidding.

Once the auction is completed, buyers will sit down with art gallery staff to work out delivery details, select a frame (you don’t have to keep the one the art is displayed in), and go over the purchase contract. At auctions run by Park West, sales tax for the passenger’s state of residence applies. For US residents, there’s no import duty levied on artwork imported to the United States.

Staff will also offer an appraisal at a reasonable price for insurance purposes—but keep in mind these appraisals are not third-party, and are retail value appraisals, or a survey of what other galleries and sellers are asking for similar works. The appraisals are not independent estimates of the current fair market value of the art, which are significantly more involved and expensive.

What to look out for

Several cruise lines eschew art auctions, including Oceania , Crystal , Windstar , and Regent Seven Seas Cruises . Disney Cruises has transitioned to gallery sales—mostly of Disney-themed prints and animation cells—with prices clearly displayed. Many cruise lines, like Celebrity and Holland America Line, have also transitioned to more art appreciation, although they continue to also offer the onboard art auctions.

Why the shift? Over the years, unhappy buyers have filed lawsuits against cruise lines or the onboard art auctioneers, claiming the value of the artworks had been inflated. Other buyers alleged that the artworks they purchased were forgeries, and were ultimately able to get refunds without lawsuits, but only after media coverage .

Most of the legal complaints related to cruise ship art auctions are not recent–previously, expensive telephone service and slow internet on cruise ships made it much harder to research art values before purchasing. But with the advent of faster cruise line WiFi, which is often bundled into cruise fares, there’s been less buzz as of late surrounding unhappy cruise art buyers. Park West has also made changes to their sales process . Onboard art sales used to be final, but the company now allows buyers to cancel their purchases outright with the auctioneer before they disembark at the end of the cruise. Afterwards, buyers have up to 50 months to exchange their art or return it for a credit.

At the end of the day, it’s important for passengers to view onboard art sales as a retail purchase—not an investment piece—and to be wary of auctioneers who focus too much on the resale value of artwork. This is essentially an interactive shopping experience. It’s up to the buyer to perform their due diligence before putting down their money. Prospective buyers can run a quick check on the internet for the work of art they’re considering to see if the same print is being sold at a lower price ashore, or if the artist is known for diluting the value of their works for authorizing too many production runs of a piece.

As long as passengers keep their eyes out for any red flags, cruise art auctions can be a great way to purchase art you may not have access to otherwise. Plus, Park West hosts onboard education and enrichment seminars—naturally focused on the artists and art types available for sale during the auction—so there are chances to learn about what's for sale before you have to make decisions.

Art Gallery and Art Auction Program

An ever-changing collection of fine art and limited-edition prints adorns our ships’ corridors. These works aren’t just pleasing to the eye — many are available to buy during our art auctions. Sip some champagne, browse the gallery, and bid on a piece to take home as a trip memento. These auctions feature works from the masters of the Renaissance to contemporary luminaries. A series of enrichment lectures and cocktail viewing parties, led by the art auction staff, typically precedes the auction, usually held at the end of the sailing.

The collections include oil and acrylics paintings, water colors, drawings, hand-signed limited edition etchings, Lithographs, serigraphs and hand-embellished graphic works as well as a wide selection of autographed sports Memorabilia and a unique collection of rare animation art.

The Art Auction Program is featured on alll Carnival ships.

The Eagles curated their own charity art gallery. Here are some of our favorite pieces — including an eagle feasting on a Cowboys player.

Items in the gallery are up for auction as part of a fundraiser for the Eagles Autism Foundation.

The Eagles are hosting an art gallery displaying Eagles-themed works from 35 emerging and established local artists that will be auctioned off to benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation.

The Eagles are stepping into the art world in their latest fundraising effort for the Eagles’ Autism Foundation.

The Birds commissioned 35 local artists to create works that inspired by the Eagles and their role in the Philadelphia community, and now they’re auctioning off the pieces to benefit the their biggest charity.

“I came up with the title ‘Green is the Heart Inspired,’” Eagles senior graphic designer Matthew Schwenk, who curated the exhibit, said. “The idea that there’s a little bit of this energy from the Eagles in every single person that lives here. A lot of people are born with it. There’s people that it’s everything to, but even if you’re not a super fan, it affects you because of how it affects the city as a whole. I gave a pitch of that, like, how does it touch you? How does it affect you? What is the connection between the city and the Eagles and the city and its artists and how are those things similar? It’s really cool, we got a lot of different stuff.”

Six years ago, the Birds started their poster series, which commissioned artists to create custom game posters. Positive fan response led Schwenk to pitch the idea for the Eagles’ art gallery.

Schwenk enlisted several of the past poster series artists to create new pieces for the auction and found other established and emerging artists to round out the collection, including four with neurodiverse backgrounds.

The art ranges from traditional paintings (featuring players like Jalen Hurts ) to sculpture, drawings, and even a custom Eagles rug.

“A big part of curating a group show like this is trying to keep it really diverse,” Schwenk said. “Part of the reason that worked so well is we weren’t looking for somebody that does sports themed stuff necessarily. We got some that do a lot of sports, but we have some that have never done sports-related stuff, because the idea behind it was really the connection of the team to Philadelphia. It touches everybody in different ways.”

Here’s a few of the coolest pieces from the collection:

“Strength” by Darla Jackson

“the prometheus fumble” by paul romano, “aquila” by kristen egan, “eagles fever dream” by alex garant, “about time” by rosa leff.

If those pieces look cool to you, you can bid on them or see the full collection here . All proceeds go to the Eagles Autism Foundation. The gallery is open to the public through Sunday at Arch Enemy Arts in Old City , in case you want to see the full collection in person.
