Starboard Cruise Services expanded its regional cruise line presence in Asia, in particular through a key partnership with DFS for the launch of the first T Gallerias on-board prestigious cruise ships. The Maison also consolidated its expertise in its historic markets the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Le Bon Marché continued on its growth trajectory, driven by its unique selection of brands and products, beautiful architecture and top-quality service. For the iconic department store on Paris Left Bank, these strengths continued to place it a cut above the rest with its French and international clientele, and its loyalty program was highly successful. Highlights of the first half of the year included an exhibition by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos and the Geek mais Chic event, a shopping experience combining digital innovation with immersive discovery and featuring a range of fashion, beauty and decor brands. In June, Le Bon Marché opened its Salons Particuliers (private salons), a styling service highly appreciated by customers. The fall season featured the So Punk Rive Gauche exhibition, a joyous celebration of the spirit of punk, reinterpreted with a very Parisian sophistication. Now enjoying a dual presence on both banks of the Seine, La Grande Épicerie de Paris saw an increase in the number of visitors. The 24 Sèvres digital platform became 24S, in step with its increasingly international clientele.
