Ship&Play, a leader in luxury luggage shipping and the team behind ShipSticks, has announced its first-ever cruise partnerships with Azamara Cruises, Emerald Cruises & Tours and Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, delivering door-to-stateroom travel experiences for guests.

Starting with fall 2025 itineraries on 1 November for Azamara and on 15 November for Emerald Cruises and Scenic, cruise passengers can now ship their luggage from home directly to their suite and return it home again – skipping airport baggage claim, customs delays and long check-in lines.

“At Ship&Play, we believe luxury travel should feel effortless from the very first step,” said Ship&Play Co-Founder and CEO Jonathan Marsico. “By turning luggage into a concierge experience, we eliminate one of travel’s biggest pain points and let our guests focus entirely on the journey, not the grind of getting there or home.”

With fully trackable, insured delivery, Ship&Play makes it effortless to travel light. Whether headed out or heading home, the service is available for both round-trip and one-way journeys (which are especially helpful, Ship&Play said, when travellers are too tired to haul luggage back or have added some new purchases).

“We’re always looking for innovative ways to enhance the guest experience and redefine what it means to travel in true luxury,” said Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group, USA/LATAM. “Our partnership with Ship&Play brings a new level of ease and sophistication to cruising.”

“At Azamara Cruises, our priority is creating a seamless, elevated journey for our guests from beginning to end,” said Simon Blacoe, Vice President of Hotel Operations at Azamara Cruises. “By partnering with Ship&Play, we’re able to make the experience even more effortless.”

Travel advisors can also benefit from this new offering, earning a commission starting at 10% on every booking.
