Hawaii Knitting Cruise (Nov 2014) ~ Knitting Cruises Description
17-Day Hawaii Knitting Cruise w/ Beth Brown-Reinsel
This is the perfect cruise for those who enjoy the luxury of shipboard living combined with gorgeous island scenery and pleasurable ports of call. The the luxury and pampering on-board your ship may make you want to stay on the water - but once you see the Hawaiian Islands, those thoughts will disappear. You can expect an amazing variety of activities in Hawaii ranging from leisurely island sightseeing tours, to extreme adventures, and seemingly never-ending array of water-sports. Lie beneath a palm tree in a hammock overlooking the sea listening to the waves washing ashore, fly among volcanoes, lush valleys and cascading waterfalls on a flightseeing tour.
Revel in relaxing "at sea" days sailing to and from the islands: have breakfast delivered to your stateroom, be pampered in our Greenhouse Spa, take a knitting class or just relax in one of our teak deck chairs while knitting on a project and watch the scenery go by. There will be a variety of classes led onboard by Beth Brown-Reinsel, author of the book Knitting Ganseys, published by Interweave Press and contributed to Knitting Socks from Around the World as well as having contributed to numerous magazines and other publications. Beth is a beloved teacher who thoroughly enjoys traveling and sharing her knowledge of knitting with others.
