I am, or was not a collector of Art! I am currently on the Norwegian Viva and have had the most amazing experience working with the Viva Art Team. Shy, Yashi, Codrina, Rafael and Ricksou have been so professional and knowledgeable in this newly found Art world that I have experienced. I am in Suite 9216 and have been excited each day about what I would see and learn about Art. I am now proud to say I am a new Art Collector!!! I am enjoying the beauty that it has brought to my life and I can't wait for it to arrive when I get home. Thank you Park West. read more

The best Park West Crew ever. Thank you Vaighn, Holly, Thomas, Timeo, Casey, and Bhagesh. Thank you guys Jim Ranieri 22 day cruise Miami to Seattle thru the panama canal aboard the Norwegion Encore read more

I have been on many cruises and have only attended one Art Auction just to have something to do. This time on my cruise my husband and I attended ALL ART AUCTIONS because of the amazing Art Team, (Salatiel, Haniem, Sine, Renard, Brenda and Ken). They were amazing and made it a fun experience. I totally enjoyed the seminars which were very interesting and helped me understand art . I have been on other cruises where I just walked through the Park West Art Gallery because I felt intimidated but this team was in no way intimidating. They were kind, professional, fun and totally work well together. I actually learned a lot from this whole team. They have a great dynamic and work well together. I will miss all of them. Thank you for opening my mind to the world of art. Denise Horn Cruise: NCL Gem - April 9, 2026 (15 day cruise from NYC to Barcelona) read more

On Carnival Celebration, the head auctioneer Alex Vinakurau and his team were great. They were very personable, and we enjoyed getting to know them, where they were from, and hearing a little about their families. I really enjoyed the auctions and learning more about the artists, which helped create a stronger connection to some of the artwork. If you are cruising on Carnival Celebration, attending the art auctions is both a fun and educational experience. read more

So, I went to the auction for the free drink. That's it. I had no idea art auctions were even a thing on cruises. I ended up going back. And then again. I kept asking about piece after piece and Ronél Ströh never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Over the course of the trip she really learned my taste and found a stunning painting by Jim Warren. She Tracked it down in the catalog, wasn't even on the ship. She just knew I'd want it. Over different days she explained the difference between lithographs, serigraphs, hand-embellished pieces. I price-checked in front of her, never felt embarrassed. Didn't buy until basically the last day. Zero pressure, ever. I Left with two Kre8s, a Peter Max, a Fazzino, and that Warren. About the pricing, yes it's above street market, but the frames alone are stunning. I tried framing the complimentary lithographs I received and got a reality check fast on what framing actually costs. So honestly, the framing alone and when you include shipping is already at least 250+ everything arrived faster than I expected, beautifully packed. No issues whatsoever. One thing nobody mentions: once you buy, suddenly everyone on the ship has an auction story. There's this whole little art community that forms onboard. Genuinely fun. Go for the free drink. See what happens. I sincerely smile every time I see these prices and am so glad and feel cool to say I own fine art. Thanks Park west and thanks especially Ronnie. read more

I've done probably six cruises with PW auctions and bought art on every one so far. I have no more room to hang art, but they keep showing me cool art I MUST have, so job well done! I've been taken care of on the Jewel, the Dawn, the Prima, and now the Viva. Shyan made sure I got all the art I ever wanted this recent voyage...he will track it down for you and make sure you can hang the best at home to enjoy every day. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Hannah on my last cruise with Royal Caribbean on The Star of the Seas. Hannah was great and I truly appreciated the interactions we had. She is very knowledgeable and absolutely a pleasure to work with. She took my request and turned it into a mission that I feel she fulfilled a want and need of mine. I can't wait to get my piece and proudly hang it on the wall. I have worked with Parkwest many times over the years. They will absolutely educate you on the artists, the art, the process, and the options available. Art auctions can feel intimidating. They can be fast paced, but they will help you if you are interested in learning and obtaining pieces of art that you love. read more

NCL Encore Park West art crew of Vaughn, Holly, Casey, Thomas, Timei, Bhagesh and Patil were rock stars of the ship. I never attended an art auction and yet every sea day was spent learning about artists, history and style. Vaughn captivated us with his stories about Peter Max spending 7 months drawing portraits of the firefighters who lost their lives in 9/11. I personally related to the story of Michael Godard who lost his daughter Paige in 2006 from a brain cancer. These artists have the biggest hearts hence paint from their hearts as well. So much was learned from this experience. Vaughn told the audience to buy what we love and that the art chooses us. I will hang my Godard art piece with pride and admiration. read more

We just wanted to send a quick note to give a huge shout out to Cassandra (Cass), Liliia, and their amazing team for making the Park West art auctions on the Enchanted Princess such a memorable experience. Cass and Liliia were both incredibly approachable and shared their enthusiasm and deep knowledge about the art and artists in a way that made each auction something we genuinely looked forward to every day. Even though we had just returned from a VIP event and had no plans to purchase anything, Cass and Liliia's passion and warmth made it impossible not to want to take home a piece of art ourselves! Thank you for making the auctions a highlight of our trip. Bob and Lori Desin read more

The team on the Norwegian Gem were terrific. They were very knowledgeable about art and went out of their way to helping us feel happy and confident about our purchase. Sal was a fun auctioneer and showed us many pieces. There's a great variety with many price points. We attended 3 auctions and had a lot of fun and champagne at each. I felt we learned a lot and got a very good value with excellent service. read more

I'm currently on a Princess cruise and attended one of the art shows. I "won" an artwork, which I was told can be shipped to my home for $35, or I can have it framed and shipped for $299. I have to admit I was surprised. It made me wonder what "winning" really means if there are still required costs just to receive the prize. It would have felt much better if the artwork could simply be handed over onboard with a tube before disembarkation, or if shipping was included for winners. Instead, it ends up feeling like most options still involve extra charges after the fact. Just sharing my experience so others know what to expect before spending time at these events onboard. read more

This is for my experience on the Norwegian Jade cruise ship and their art auctions. This was one of the highlights of the cruise for me. Had never been to an art auction so it was a new and fun experience. There's champagne at the auctions for free if that's your thing, but I don't drink. I also got about 7 free pieces of art through raffles and give aways along with the few pieces that I actually purchased. I would imagine anyone that doesn't have a good experience probably has buyers remorse as some things are quite expensive. Just remember not to let himself be purchased. Joseph and his team were great and personable. Has some great convos and anime with one guy and some similar life experiences with another. read more

My wife and I were on the Norwegian Sky December 6th through December 22nd. We went to the art auctions several times. Ilia Lymarev, the art director, was great! He and his team worked with us on several pieces. Ilia and his staff were very knowledgeable and fun to work with. We've already received two of them, "Lucas" (the handcrafted resin) and "Holidays" (hand embellished unique work). The pieces came in very protective packing and look fantastic. We will enjoy the pieces of art for many years to come. We highly recommend using Park West Gallery with you are looking for unique pieces that you won't find elsewhere. read more

erfect package of inspiring and GORGEOUS art. He worked with us on pricing and was so easy to negotiate with from start to finish. Das, the auctioneer, was professional, courteous, and very entertaining. His dynamic personality and informative discussions about the featured artists, made for a history lesson, as well as a high energy auction. The other members of the team, Cindy and Sophie, went out of their way to help us at every moment and answer all our questions. We are now the proud owners of some amazing pieces and we couldn't be happier. read more

We've had the pleasure of collecting art from Park West Galleries across several cruises, and one thing we've learned is that the experience is just as meaningful as the artwork itself. Corey and I truly love Park West and the incredible pieces we've added to our collection--but what makes it truly special are the people. Each onboard art team brings something unique, and we've found that the more we collect on a cruise is directly tied to the connection we build with them. Some of these teams have become so much more than just professionals we've purchased art from--they've become like old friends, even family. We've laughed together, shared stories, and created memories that go far beyond the gallery walls. In fact, we've grown so close with one team that they truly are family to us now. We make it a point to meet up with them whenever they're in port, and we're even planning trips to visit them in their home countries. That's the kind of impact these teams have. It's not just about art--it's about relationships, connection, and shared experiences. Park West, you have some truly extraordinary people representing you around the world, and they deserve to be recognized. Thank you for bringing not only beautiful art into our lives, but incredible friendships as well. We can't wait for our next cruise and the next amazing team we'll meet! I didn't realize we could leave a review about these teams until now, so I wanted to include our favorite teams below. This way anyone who works with them can know how amazing of an experience they are about to have!! Most of these team members we have grown to love below are actually so great that they have been moved over to VIP cruises only. That is when you know you are working with greatness when they are already slated for transfer to the VIP world!

Wonderfully knowledgeable and lighthearted team. Brigitta O'Keeffe, Samuel Dike and Enrique Linton on the Island Princess have made Art Collection a great experience again. We have travelled with, and collected art from Park West over the past 12 years or so. We own many originals and one of kind's. Park West offers a large selection of art at great value for both the experienced and beginning collectors. Sam, Bri and Enrique are among the best Park West representatives we have encountered over the years. read more

I recently purchased artwork through a Park West Gallery online auction and had the pleasure of working with Fabian Fitoiu, Senior Art Concierge. The experience was exceptional from start to finish. Fabian was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain the artwork, provided helpful insight, and made sure I felt confident and informed while participating in the auction. His communication was clear and timely, and he was always available to answer questions. What stood out most was how seamless and personalized the online auction experience felt. Fabian's guidance and expertise made purchasing art online both enjoyable and stress-free. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the collector experience and takes pride in connecting clients with pieces they love. I highly recommend Fabian Fitoiu and Park West Gallery to anyone looking to purchase art through an online auction. I would absolutely work with him again. read more

Vaughn, Holly, Patil, Casey, Bhagesh, Timei and Thomas on NCL Encore have all been wonderful. Very friendly, knowledgeable and made my first art auction a wonderful experience. Vaughn not only taught me about some art history but I learned about some new artists that I had never heard of and loved like KRE8. read more

We took our first cruise a week ago to Mexico. We passed by the art gallery on our first day. So many pics of art to look at. A vast selection of well known and other artist we hadn't been aware of. We went to the gallery every day to look at the pieces. We found favorites, which helped when we went to the auctions. The auctions were so much fun. Between the raffles and being exposed to a bigger selection of art. The gallery team was amazing. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Rejoice Laurent, Albertus Bodenstein and Thonda were top notch. Within days of leaving port and headed out to sea they felt more like long lost friends instead of pushy sales people. We were able to pickup around a half dozen pieces by various artist. For the pieces we purchased the price was an incredible steal. It was so much fun and we cannot wait to cruise again, hopefully running into this amazing team. read more

We recently attended a Park West auction aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, and I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding team that made the experience so enjoyable and meaningful. A special thank you to auctioneer Sobhan Keho, who brought energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm to the auction. Her ability to engage the audience and create excitement truly elevated the entire event. We were also very impressed with the gallery team, including Nikola Novakovic, Zarko D. Beer, and Megan Buckley, who were all exceptional in how they presented the artwork, answered questions, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the viewing and auction process. In addition, art specialist Aiden Oliver and coordinator Romano Hunter did an excellent job supporting the experience and ensuring everything ran smoothly. My wife and I have been Park West collectors for quite some time, and it is individuals like this team who truly make a difference. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine interaction with guests play a significant role in our continued enjoyment and confidence as collectors. Thank you again to the entire team for an outstanding experience. John and Denise Sabourin read more

Just got home after a VIP event in Sarasota, FL. Had fantastic time. The featured artists were Michael Godard, Nicholas Yust, Romero Britto and Ilyayev Slava. The chief auctioneers were the top, Jason Betteridge and Jason (sorry last name forgot) kept everyone's interest and up beat. 250+ attended this event and had a blast. We ell done Park West. read more

They're on all the cruise lines and every ship. It's fun to attend the auctions and watch people overpay for reproductions.

I just got back from a Princess cruise and have to give a huge shout‑out to the Park West Gallery team onboard: Rejoice Laurent, Thando Malululeka, and Albert Bodenstein. I've been to a lot of Park West events over the years, but this group was something special. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and so genuinely warm that walking into the gallery felt like visiting friends. No pressure, no salesy vibe, just great conversations, great energy, and a team that clearly loves what they do. The auctions were packed and lively, and it's easy to see why. Their enthusiasm is contagious. I enjoyed meeting and working with them so much that I found myself popping into the gallery every day just to say hi. They made the entire cruise more fun, and this ended up being my most memorable Park West experience to date. If you ever have the chance to attend a Park West event with this team, you're in for a treat. They're fantastic. read more

i will begin to state the obvious which is that all Park West Galleries do have real artwork but they are the worst of any customer service auction house available.There teams of service reps contradict each other on every other contact. Policies and procedures do change from where you purchased the item from the auction site and what the company allows you to do.PLEASE ADMIRE YOUR OWN PHOTOS IT WILL SAVE YOU THE HASSEL OF EVERY BUYING OR GETTING TAKING ADVANTAGE OF for the love or artwork read more

entire staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Auctioneer was particularly clear and explained art well as pieces were presented before bidding began. I enjoyed learning about new artists from the staff Casey helped me personally even before he knew I was a longtime customer and even saved a front row seat beside another frequent "flyer". I never expected to add a Tarkay to my collection but Casey encouraged me and made it happen. I am thrilled and can't wait until she is hanging on my wall. read more

Mattia and his incredible team--Petros, Maines, and Kuzi--made our art experience aboard the Carnival Paradise truly unforgettable. From the moment we stepped into the gallery, their energy, knowledge, and genuine love for art were unmistakable. Mattia's passion shines when he speaks about each artist, their techniques, and the stories behind the works, making every piece feel alive and meaningful. The entire crew is exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic, guiding us with care to find artwork that truly resonated with us--at a price that felt just right. We never expected to walk away with a Peter Max Umbrella Man, but we did, and I couldn't be more thrilled to add such an iconic piece to our growing collection. If you're cruising on the Carnival Paradise, make it a point to visit Mattia in the art gallery. He has a remarkable ability to connect with people and intuitively match them with artwork that speaks to them on a deeper level. This was more than a purchase--it was an experience I'll never forget--and I can't wait to work with Mattia and his team again in the future. read more

Melonie Lubbe and Cobus were absolutely wonderful on our Norwegian Christmas cruise in 2025. So helpful and knowledgeable involving so many diverse artists.

I can't wait to see them again! Hopefully on my next cruise, Park West is the best!! read more

In all my cruising years, I never thought I would buy art on a cruise ship. Something was different this time, and I would say my change of heart was due to Eddy Gomez (Park West Art Auctioneer) and his team on the Celebrity Infinity. He spent a great deal of time during the week educating me on the various types of art that was being offered. He was a wealth of knowledge about the various pieces I was admiring and knew everything about the artists. It was a pleasure getting to know him and Natalia. Attending the auctions and visiting them in the evenings at the gallery were probably the most fun moments on the ship. I sincerely hope to run into Eddy again on a future cruise! read more

We would like to shout out a great group of art staff on the NCL Sky. Courteous, professional, inquisitive and fun to work with. We have collected on multiple cruises and land events, but this group was one of most enjoyable we have worked with. Special thank you to Ben and Emafini, but whole team was engaging and easy to talk to. Did they taunt me by placing my favorite works on display when I was on the fence? Of course, but the playful banter and conversations were enjoyable. We look forward to enjoying our new pieces. read more
