A Crochet & Knitting Retreat Along the Pacific Coast
Foggy mornings. Ocean sunsets. Yarn in your lap. Coffee in hand. This isn’t just a cruise — it’s a floating fiber arts retreat traveling down one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

Cabins & Pricing
Your cozy home base for stitching, sailing, and settling in.
Whether you’re bringing a small travel project or half your yarn stash (no judgment), your stateroom is where you’ll recharge, organize your WIPs, and wind down after long port days. All prices below are per cabin, based on double occupancy, with a $125 deposit per person.
Interior Cabin
Cozy • Budget-Friendly • Project-Focused
Interior cabins are a favorite for cruisers who treat their room as a calm, quiet retreat. With no windows, they’re perfect for deep sleep after full days of exploring and late-night stitch sessions. These cabins offer comfortable beds, a private bathroom, smart storage, and just enough space to keep your projects tidy between ports.
Best for: travelers who plan to spend their days on deck, in ports, or at fiber meetups — and just want a peaceful place to recharge.
Ocean View Cabin
Natural Light • Extra Breathing Room • Daytime Stitching
Ocean View cabins give you a window to the world — literally. Enjoy natural light, a view of the sea, and a little extra sense of space. These cabins are great for daytime stitching, pattern planning, or simply watching the coastline drift by as you work a few rows.
Best for: yarn lovers who enjoy stitching with daylight and want a bright, welcoming space without upgrading to a balcony.
Star Princess | October 3-10, 2027
Balcony Cabin
Private Outdoor Space • Ultimate Relaxation • Stitch-with-a-View
Balcony cabins are the dream option for fiber cruisers. Step outside with your morning coffee and project bag, stitch as the sun sets over the water, or enjoy quiet moments between ports in your own private outdoor space. Inside, you’ll still have all the comforts — plus that unbeatable connection to the sea.
Best for: anyone who loves peaceful moments, scenic views, and uninterrupted crafting time with fresh ocean air.
