For Cruise Lines
Wholesale Napkins for Cruise Lines
A cruise ship is a floating hotel with several dining formats running at once — main dining room, buffet, speciality restaurants, cabins and pool deck. Each needs a different napkin, and all of it has to arrive in one consolidated shipment.
What cruise buyers usually order
| Main dining room | Airlaid dinner napkin, 40 × 40 cm |
|---|---|
| Buffet | 2-ply luncheon, dispenser or interfold |
| Speciality restaurants | Airlaid or premium tissue, custom printed |
| Cabin & bathroom | Airlaid guest towels, 30 × 40 cm |
| Pool deck | Cocktail napkins, beverage service |
| MOQ | 5,000 pcs per SKU |
What matters in this sector
- One shipment, many formats. We consolidate the whole ship's napkin programme into a single container. See airlaid napkins.
- Premium dining needs airlaid. Speciality restaurants get the linen-like upgrade without laundry at sea.
- Brand consistency. Printed napkins for each venue from 5,000 pcs per design.
- Storage-aware packing. Compressed, high-count cartons for limited dry-store space.

Frequently asked questions
What napkins does a cruise ship need?
Typically four programmes: an airlaid dinner napkin for the main dining room, a 2-ply luncheon for the buffet, premium or printed napkins for speciality restaurants, and airlaid guest towels for cabins.
Can you consolidate a whole ship's order into one shipment?
Yes. Consolidating all napkin formats into one container is the standard approach and significantly reduces freight per piece — tell us the full list when you enquire.
What is the MOQ for cruise line orders?
5,000 pieces per SKU or design. Because cruise programmes span several formats, orders usually consolidate well past that.
How far ahead should we order?
For printed items allow roughly 6-9 weeks door to door by sea. Stock items are faster. Give us your sailing or dry-dock date and we will work backwards from it.
