In addition to selling photos, picture frames and albums, binoculars and cameras (Fuji, Nikon), and common batteries and memory cards were available.

A collection of art for sale was showcased on Deck 5, and at several points of the cruise, art auctions were held in the Explorer’s Lounge. We didn’t see much we’d want to bring home.
