Rooted in the elegance of ocean travel, the Cruise Large Suitcase draws inspiration from a time when crossing the seas was as glamorous as the destination itself. Handcrafted in England using time-honoured techniques, the case features a royal blue Vulcanised Fibreboard body, complemented by navy leather corners, straps and guides, with polished chrome fittings that complete its distinctly nautical aesthetic.
This is the original Globe-Trotter silhouette — a traditionally styled suitcase with a two-wheel construction and a sturdy leather handle. Designed to be pulled rather than pushed, it offers a tactile, hands-on travel experience, ideal for those who appreciate the charm of a more classic approach to movement. Despite its vintage cues, the lightweight build and 74L capacity make it perfectly suited to modern, extended travel.
Inside, the ivory lining is printed with sharp blue pinstripes, reflecting the maritime mood of the collection with a crisp, tailored feel. The spacious interior offers ample room for longer getaways, ensuring both clothing and accessories arrive in style.
Whether boarding a sleeper train or checking in for a journey at sea, this large suitcase offers refined utility with timeless character.
For even greater capacity, explore the XL Suitcase. To complement your travels with ease, pair it with the Carry-On from the Cruise collection.

Vulcanised Fibreboard
Each case is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, composed of 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable forests. The layers are bonded with zinc and compressed using steam and pressure. This results in a material that is exceptionally lightweight and strong, offering durability for a lifetime of travel while remaining easy to carry. We use this material for its unique balance of strength and lightness, which is exclusive to Globe-Trotter.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
All leather elements, including the hand-moulded corners, trims, handles and fastening details, are made from vegetable-tanned hide. This traditional tanning method uses only natural plant extracts to create leather of exceptional strength and character. Over time, it develops a rich patina, ensuring that every case becomes ever more individual with each journey.
Ethical Sourcing
All leathers are ethically sourced. We partner only with suppliers who uphold high standards of animal welfare and environmental responsibility. This ensures full traceability and a commitment to sustainable production.
Webbing Straps
Webbing straps are woven from high-strength cotton, chosen for durability and a classic finish. Each strap is finished with hand-cut vegetable-tanned leather tips, providing added strength and an elevated detail. This combination ensures lasting reliability and refined style.
Handles
Handles are constructed from a blend of bonded leather and reinforcement materials, pressed for 48 hours before hand assembly. This method provides both comfort in the hand and long-term durability, making every journey effortless.
Lining
The interior is lined with a finely woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric, selected for its soft touch, strength, and complementary aesthetic.
Locks and Hardware
Locks and hardware are precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass, then finished in gold, chrome, or signature tones. Each piece is chosen for its security, durability, and ease of use.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is placed inside every case. This confirms authenticity and provides a permanent mark of provenance.
