The Ship Collection

The Ship Collection is where it all began.


These are the original designs that launched Ship Show Shirts, built around the kind of cruise humor that starts with one simple word and somehow turns into an entire conversation. Equal parts clever, sarcastic, and just the right amount of inappropriate, every design takes a familiar phrase and gives it a vacation-worthy twist.

Whether you're the one planning the itinerary, ignoring the itinerary, or accidentally becoming the story everyone talks about after the cruise, these are the ones that proved polite profanity and cruise vacations were always meant to sail together.

Please note that because our three lines come from different manufacturers, shirt colors will vary slightly between products.

The originals.

The Ship Collection is the foundation, the first bad ideas that turned out to be very good ones, and the reason this whole beautifully questionable operation exists in the first place.

Whether you’re sailing with family, friends, or a crew of complete enablers, there’s a Ship shirt with your name all over it. They’re clever, irreverent, occasionally inappropriate, and guaranteed to make at least one stranger point, laugh, and say, “I need that shirt.”

Honestly… that’s exactly how this whole mess got started.

Available as a 6 oz. 100% USA cotton Gildan Ultra Cotton T-Shirt, 6.1 oz. 100% ring spun USA cotton Comfort Colors Heavyweight Tank, or 8.5 oz. 80/20 polyester blend fleece (100% cotton face) Independent Trading Co. Midweight Hoodie.

Please note that because our three lines come from different manufacturers, shirt colors will vary slightly between products.

Custom color combos ALWAYS available.

The shortest vacation story ever told: I Do. I Did. If you understand the joke, this shirt was made for you. Some vacation stories are pretty short. This one barely needs six words.

If you agree that Piña Coladas are nature's perfect food, order one today.

Acoustic Maritime Violence

  • Loud choruses, ridiculous lyrics, and huge tavern energy. This is the soundtrack for people who think every vacation deserves a deck party, another round, and at least one story that starts with, "You're never going to believe this..."

    So crank it up. If you've ever wanted to turn a Caribbean sunset into a full-blown deck party, you're in the right place. Welcome aboard. The rum is optional, singing at the top of your lungs is strongly encouraged.

Made Fo® You® Ship Show

We admit it… we're biased. We work our butts off creating awesome off-the-rack designs, and we'd love nothing more than to see you wearing one on your next cruise. But some occasions deserve something a little more personal.

Whether you're planning a family cruise, girls trip, bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday celebration, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, class reunion, or any other excuse to get your favorite people together on a cruise, a custom shirt turns an already unforgettable vacation into something even more memorable.

Yeah, it looks great on the ship. But long after the tan fades and the luggage is unpacked, it becomes something even better… a souvenir that brings back the memories every time you pull it out of the closet.
