Cruising Returns This Summer!

 


We have some exciting news to share with you – 
cruising returns this Summer!


Ready to feel the ocean breeze and cruise on island time this summer? You can finally turn your cruise vacation dreams into reality! After the long-anticipated return to cruising, you can finally set sail with Crystal Cruises, Royal Caribbean, or Celebrity Cruises THIS Summer onboard a dreamy cruise through the Caribbean.

Bookings opened March 18th for Crystal Cruises with a tremendous response, and we expect the same when bookings open with Royal Caribbean on March 24th and Celebrity Cruises on March 25th. If you’re interested in booking these sailings, we encourage you to reach out to us right away, as these sailings are likely to sell out fast. In fact, last week Viking announced that they would be cruising from the United Kingdom this spring, and they sold out in one day!

  • Crystal Serenity will begin sailing on July 3rd with a 7-night itinerary featuring more than 30 departures traveling round-trip from Nassau or Bimini.
     
  • Celebrity Cruises will set sail on June 5th out of tropical St. Maarten on the Celebrity Millennium with two 7-night itinerary offerings that include Aruba, Curacao, Barbados, Tortola, and St. Lucia.
     
  • Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas will sail from Nassau, Bahamas beginning June 12th with 7-night cruises to Cozumel, Mexico, and a sampling of popular Bahamian ports including a two-day stay to enjoy Perfect Day at CocoCay.

As always, your health and safety are our top priority. Each cruise line has unique health and safety requirements, some of these requirements have been announced and other requirements will be announced at a later date. Please contact me and we can review the specific requirements together.

We can’t wait to wish you “Bon Voyage” one day soon! Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months as we will continue to keep you updated.

200 Cruise & Crop Cruises!


We just reached a HUGH milestone!

Cruise & Crop started back in 2006 and hosted only a few cruises in their first couple of years.  As our company grew, and word got out about how fun our scrapbooking and card making cruises are, our numbers of available cruises increased year over year.  

We were saddened to see about 30 of our cruises suspended during the Covid Pandemic.  And although we should have celebrated our 200th cruise in April 2020, we are happy to hit this milestone even when ships are not sailing. 

In October 2020, we hosted our first Virtual Cruise & Crop with 100 participants.  We sailed for 7-days around the world and visited (virtually) Cozumel, Barcelona, Passau, Canada, Rome, Hawaii, Alaska & the Caribbean.  We participated in 14 classes as well as a pre and post-cruise extension.  This virtual cruised marked our 199th cruise.

In February 2021, we hosted our second Virtual Cruise & Crop with 150 participants and we were able to celebrate our 200th cruise!  This year we visited Riviera Maya, Athens, Avignon, USA National Parks, the Mississippi River, Bermuda & Salzburg.  We enjoyed 14 classes as well as two optional Shore Excursion Classes.

Stay tuned for more virtual events and class kits available soon.


Cheers to you!  Thank you for all of your support over the last 15 years.  We are looking forward to helping you plan so many more crafting cruises.  See you on the seven seas real soon!
