Questions
Do I need to be an experienced quilter?
Our quilting cruise is designed for confident beginners through experienced quilters. Basic sewing and quilting knowledge is recommended, but your instructors will guide you step-by-step in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Do I need to bring my own sewing machine?
No. Sewing machines are provided for all quilting participants. Guests will enjoy the use of a premium sewing machine (typically BERNINA or Janome) during class and open sewing sessions - so there’s no need to travel with your own machine.
Is dedicated sewing space provided onboard?
Yes. A dedicated sewing room will be reserved exclusively for our quilting group throughout the cruise. In addition to scheduled class times, guests are welcome to enjoy open sewing during days at sea and while in port, giving you the flexibility to stitch whenever inspiration strikes.
Can I bring a non-quilting guest?
Absolutely! Non-quilting guests are welcome to join the cruise and enjoy all ship amenities, ports of call, dining, and entertainment.
Non-sewing guests receive a $250 discount per person, as they will not participate in the quilting sessions.
Is travel insurance recommended?
Yes, travel insurance is strongly recommended for cruises. Insurance must be added prior to the final payment date and covers cruise costs only. Please review the full details in the Terms & Conditions section.
