STELLA · Southampton
Southampton Talent for the UK's Cruise Capital
Southampton handles more cruise passengers than any other UK port, and the marketing that cruise lines and travel brands produce around departures, onboard life and destination promotion creates a casting demand most south-coast cities simply don't have. STELLA scouts Southampton talent specifically for that travel and lifestyle register.
Westquay ranks among the largest shopping centres in the south of England, and the catalogue and in-store campaign work it generates runs alongside a steady flow of south-coast lifestyle and waterfront shoots. Our roster is built to move between cruise, retail and lifestyle briefs without a local studio.
Boards for the Cruise Capital
Cruise & Travel Marketing
Departures, onboard-life and destination content for cruise lines and travel brands run on a tight promotional calendar; this board is scouted specifically for that register.
Retail & Westquay Commercial
Westquay's scale drives steady catalogue and in-store campaign work; we favour range and consistency here over a single strong editorial look.
South-Coast Lifestyle
Waterfront and south-coast lifestyle shoots need faces that read naturally outdoors; this board sits apart from the more polished travel-marketing work.
Why Southampton Casts Through STELLA
Built for the Cruise Marketing Calendar
Cruise-line campaigns move on a seasonal departure schedule; our process is set up to confirm Southampton talent inside that specific calendar, not a generic turnaround.
A Short Form Starts It
Applications run on a short form and recent phone photos, with our team on location once a Southampton shoot is confirmed.
Booked Direct, Not Through Suppliers
Cruise lines, travel brands and retailers get a single casting contact rather than juggling separate local suppliers for each type of brief.

Talent is scouted across:
- City Centre
