Launched in 2018 by the publishers of Sleeper, Starboard is a new magazine focusing on mobile hospitality in all its forms – on water, on land and in the air.

Born out of an increasingly close relationship between hospitality and transportation, and the idea that travel experiences extend beyond the realms of a traditional hotel, it examines the design, development and operation of cruise ships and river boats, as well as sleeper trains, ground transportation, aeroplane cabins and the forthcoming advent of commercial spacecraft.

Starboard tells the stories behind the concepts; details the fit-out across the entire supply chain; and considers ways in which these elements contribute to the overall guest experience.
