2026 Great Caribbean Quilt Cruise

Featuring Allana Bryant, Peggy Gelbrich and Ilaria Padovani
Escape the Cold Winter Blues and Quilt in Caribbean Color!
Like me, will you be ready to ditch the winter coats for flip-flops and fabric fun next winter? Join us in 2026 for an memorable and fun 8-day quilting cruise through the sunny Eastern Caribbean. Joining us are teachers: Allana Bryant, Peggy Gelbrich, and Ilaria Padovani aboard Holland America’s beautiful Koningsdam. We’d love to have you join us.
It’s the perfect time for a winter getaway where the weather is warm, the water is a pure azure blue and the sun is shining! Catch our quilting spirit when you join us for quilting and sewing fun on this fun filled Caribbean quilt cruise visiting, Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Phillipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, USVI and Half Moon Cay.
Enjoy 8 creative days, relaxing, sewing and doing whatever you like on this custom cruise journey. From the moment your board, you will be immersed in the inspiration, culture, colors and fun of the Caribbean. This is definitely a once-in-a lifetime quilting getaway at sea on one of Holland America’s loveliest ships, the Koningsdam. We’ve found that March is one of the the best times of year to sail in the Caribbean and we’ve packed this cruise with quiltmaking, island adventures, relaxation and inspiration. Our ship is spacious and our classrooms are beautiful.
Quilt cruises are a wonderful opportunity to join your quilting friends as well as make new ones who share this passion. The camaraderie is second to none; we’ve had quilters develop life-long friendships on our cruises. You might want to consider bringing a companion or even your entire family as on-board or in port, there will be something for every interest.
Our 2025 cruises sold out quickly and 2026 is looking to do the same as cabins are going fast. Don’t wait too long to book, we don’t want to sail away without you!
