Stitch. Sail. Explore Australia. Repeat.
Join us in Sydney aboard Norwegian Spirit for 11 nights of fiber-filled fun, creative classes, stitch-togethers and yarn shop adventures around southern Australia. Whether you're joining us from Australia, the U.S., New Zealand or farther afield, this cruise is all about creating, connecting and exploring together.
An Australian fiber getaway with a cruise attached.
No international flight is needed for our Australian guests to start the adventure—just meet us in Sydney. We’re combining the best parts of a cruise with the best parts of a fiber retreat: creative classes, relaxed stitching time, local yarn discoveries and plenty of opportunities to meet people who completely understand why yarn absolutely counts as a souvenir.
Onboard Classes

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to knit or crochet to come?
No. This is a fiber arts–focused group, but companions who simply love cruising and exploring Australia are welcome too.
Are classes included?
Planned group classes and hosted fiber arts programming are supported by the $100 USD per-person program fee. Specific class topics and schedules will be announced as the program is finalized.
Are yarn purchases included?
No. Anything you purchase in yarn shops, markets, studios or other port stops is your responsibility. Consider leaving a little extra room in the suitcase.
Why is USD still listed if this cruise is for Australians?
The group’s official booking currency is USD, but this page is designed primarily for Australian guests, so we show AUD prominently as an estimate. U.S. guests can use the listed USD price directly, and NZD estimates are shown for New Zealand guests. Exchange rates can change between quote and payment.
Can pricing change?
Yes. Cruise fares and availability can change until a reservation is confirmed. Contact us for the most current cabin availability and exact total.
