If you love crafting, we have the perfect holiday suggestion for you. Prima is taking to the seas on their first Crafting at Sea voyage in partnership with Ambassador Cruise Line – and we'd love for you to join us!
Prima's Editor in Chief Jo Checkley and Craft Editor Imogen Cooper will be joining the crafting cruise, taking in the beautiful voyage stops of Honfleur, St Mary's Isle of Scilly and Cobh for Cork.
When not exploring these stunning destinations, guests will be able to take part in a full timetable of craft workshops, Q&As, drop in sessions, interviews and so much more. Jo and Imogen will be joined by a team of expert crafters, who will run classes on everything from knitting and crochet to embroidery, bargello and macrame.
Whether you're new to crafting, an experienced maker, or looking for a fun skill to learn on holiday, you're guaranteed to hone your skills or discover a new crafting hobby onboard. There'll be dozens of workshops to take part in, as well as plenty of time to work on their projects and check in with their crafting experts. There's a craft and project for everyone on board – and you'll have the opportunity to meet other crafters as well as take advice from their experts.
And now we’re delighted to share their fabulous line up of expert-led workshops with you. There are so many brilliant crafts to choose from – from cosy knitting and crochet, to stylish bargello, modern embroidery, beautiful feltwork and fascinating colour exploration.
