The decor
A cruise Cruise on a liner? Chanel will remain the only facetious luxury house to have dared this design set with five-star jokes.

From sailor's berets to ocean blue sunglasses, the scholarly details here and there affixed to this stylish new cloakroom have not failed to make this ephemeral stopover an exciting time trip.
