About us
We are the cruise industry’s first choice retail partner, and holder of the ‘Cruise Retailer of the Year’ title for the last 2 years from the DFNI Frontier Awards. Our purpose lies in making every cruise better, from a specialist understanding of guest dwell time and how to work with it, to unparalleled levels of data and insights gathered from ships across the globe, best in class marketing and merchandising skills, and a global logistics model that means we literally never miss the boat. We are champions of sustainability, pursuing BCorp status and investing in significant carbon reduction and efficiency projects across our business. Everything is underpinned by our ‘Quaternity’ model, which is our partnership between cruise line partners, brand partners, guest insights and our Harding+ expertise to ensure every ship’s retail model is bespoke, relevant and designed to land impact and success for all parties. With central hubs in Bristol, Miami and Sydney we enable a collaborative approach like no other. We currently work with 16 cruise brand partners across the globe, including more than 90 cruise ships and 300+ forward-thinking shops on board. We employ over 200 team members landside and over 1,200 shipboard, meaning we can justifiably champion our status as diversity and inclusion champions, helping to live the “+” in our name at all touchpoints of how we operate.

It is an incredible honour to be listed in Retail Week's Top 25 Fastest Growing Retailers! We have made huge strides over the past 12 months with no sign of slowing down, and this represents a clear signposting of our amazing progress. Thank you to Retail Week and, as Chris Matthews says below, onwards and upwards!!!
I’m so proud for Harding+ to be listed among the Top 25 Fastest Growing Retailers, as compiled by @RetailWeek. This inclusion testifies to the amount of work we’ve done over the past year to move the dial, not only for ourselves, but for the cruise retail industry at large.

We can showcase products and brands in ways that are virtually impossible anywhere else, gathering deep, powerful customer insights and crafting a guest oriented, beautiful experience from start to finish. I’m immensely grateful to everyone at @Harding+ who made this possible, and to all our cruise line partners for placing their trust in us to deliver the goods.

Delivering engaging brand activations is an essential part of how we create a unique 'sense of place' on board, and make our retail spaces even more enjoyable for guests. They also drive incremental sales and boost guest satisfaction. Well done Maria-Luisa Barona for delivering an incredible range of installations that bring our vision to life!
This week, we’ve completed the final installations of our brand activations for Q4 2024, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved across every category! From premium timepieces to luxurious beauty brands and engaging, interactive liquor experiences—each activation has brought something truly special on board. Some highlights: Bacardi Spiced rum, a perfect match for our Caribbean season, ringing local flavour to the high seas. Armani’s exclusive holiday collection, featuring their beautiful Christmas sets perfect for gifting, has added a touch of festive luxury to our onboard offerings. Citizen’s “Crack the Code” pop-up has kept guests engaged and thrilled with the chance to win fantastic prizes. A huge thank you to all the incredible brands and our dedicated Harding+ team: Chloe Wade, Taylor Cowell, Amy Turner, Keisha Daly, Laura Reubens-Peppiatt, Sophie Zelaschi, Thomas Savage, Julian Cleaver, Daniel Jackson for making this quarter a success. Here’s to many more unforgettable activations—2025, we’re ready for you! 🌟 #CruiseRetail #HolidaySeason #LuxuryOnBoard #FestiveShopping
