Location by Ship

The shop is part of the onboard High Street retail area, though its exact location differs depending on the ship:

  • Scarlet Lady/Valiant Lady: Located in the corner next to Extra Virgin
  • Resilient Lady/Brilliant Lady: Found on the main High Street area

Good to Know

The Necessities Shop is especially useful on embarkation day (once open after leaving port) or after port stops when something essential may be missing. Stock can vary slightly between ships, especially for local or region-specific items.
