Crochet Cruising

Our aim on this cruise is to give you as much ‘guilt free’ crocheting time as possible. Apart from the scheduled morning and afternoon workshops on our days at sea, there will be over 40 hours of communal crocheting time to work on your designs, make friends or just relax. If this information has not answered your specific crochet questions, please email Moira, our Tour Manager – moira@cruiseexpress.com.au. She will be more than happy to share her cruising knowledge and our specific plans for this cruise.
