Friends! I can’t quite believe it, but I’ll be teaching and co-hosting a Knit, Purl, Cruise with Princess Sapphire Cruises (in tandem with Rosehaven Yarn Shop) in February 2028!

Want to come with me on the trip of a lifetime??

We’ll be sailing through Asia for two unforgettable weeks, combining the joy of knitting as well as embroidery on a sumptuous cruise ship, taking in the beauty and culture of the region. I know I personally love to travel, but figuring out a multi-country itinerary can be so daunting, and this trip has it all figured out, at a very reasonable price point.

Here is a list of the ports of call:

Singapore

Cam Ranh (Nha Trang), Vietnam

Halong Bay / Hanoi (Cai Lan), Vietnam

This is such a jaw-dropping locale, we’re here for two days. I can’t wait!! I mean, just look at it:

Hong Kong

Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan

Ishigaki, Japan

Nagasaki, Japan

Tokyo, Japan

As this trip is still more than a year and a half away, now is the time to book to get the best deal possible. There are payment plan options, and the prices will only go up, so booking a ticket now is defintiely cheaper than later. Speaking of the price, I was surpised at how reasonable it was- for 2 weeks, it works out to $236/per person per day (for an inside cabin, there are fancier cabins!) on the ship, in Canadian Dollars. I was genuinely surpised at how reasonable that is. Especially for your meals onboard included.

To check out the ship that we’re cruising on, here is a great youtube video that walks you through it.

Here is the link to see the pricing details, and all the booking information. And you should totally talk to the travel agents that are the professionals who organize this with Expedia Cruises, to make sure that you get all your questions answered. This is their 4th Knit Purl Cruise, so there’s lots of experience on this! From the professionals. This will be my first cruise EVER.

If you have never taken a crafty holiday before, you’re in for a treat- it’s so easy to get to know others because you all have a love of craft in common. We’ll have workshops, casual crafting time, fun fibre-focused excursions, and of course, the trip of a lifetime.

If you have any questions, let me know! I won’t be able to speak to the specifics that the travel consultants will, but I can defintiely answer questions about the acitvities, workshops, and what we’ll do!
