knitting

If you love to knit and you love to travel, you can do both with knitting cruises! Several cruise lines and/or travel agencies offer knitting cruises, from a variety of locations from Alaska to Maine and the Caribbean. Think about it! Knitting with a group of knitting enthusiasts from around the world, and you cruise the waters of your favorite destination. Now that’s a vacation! Some cruises even offer materials for classes in the cost of the cruise, while others charge extra for every class you attend. Be sure to check on extra costs before you book your cruise.

Many of these specialty knitting cruises recruit well known designers and teachers so they can offer many different classes for the beginning to uber experienced knitters. On these cruises, you can learn new techniques, create new designs, and still have time for sightseeing and relaxing. It’s entirely up to you which classes you attend and which you don’t, so you can choose what’s right for your interests and knitting abilities.

Some of these cruises are short, only 3 or 4 days, while others can last up to a week or more. They range from huge mega-liner cruise ships to intimate sailing ships off the coast of Maine, so whatever you’re looking for in a cruise, you should be able to find it in a knitting cruise. So, if you’d like the best of both worlds – travel without leaving your knitting at home, look for the perfect knitting cruise, and you can have your knitting and cruise time, too!
