f.Diamond

In 2007 FashionTV bought a cruise liner, named f.diamond, on which fashion shows, parties and events are hosted.

Currently many of the cruise liner's VIP events are also strongly featured in FashionTV's broadcasts.

On January 28, 2009, due to a lack of security crew and permissions, the ship was blocked by the Capitaneria (Civil Navy Police) in Genoa, Italy.
