Designed for both novice and skilled crocheters, Cruise Express’s second Crochet Cruise on the deluxe Celebrity Solstice sails for 10 nights round-trip from Sydney on October 29, with five relaxing days at sea – perfect for crocheting – and four ports of call – Newcastle, Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays, Cairns and Brisbane.

The package includes a welcome kit valued at $250 containing everything needed to get started, including yarn, hooks, needles, cutters and patterns.

Book before June 30 and you will get $200 worth of mixed hue yarn. Fares from $2890 per person, twin-share.
