While in port, you can play tourist, choosing your pleasure whether it be walking, touring, flight-seeing or shopping! All the ports are right on the water, and there is a lot to see within walking distance! Or you can just relax on the ship, our floating hotel.
QuiltWorks Northwest in Bellevue, WA will be bringing new Bernina sewing machines for you to use. You can even go home with a wonderful buy on a new Bernina.
For all of you that have sailed with us before, we would welcome you back, and for those of you that are just joining us, we look forward to getting to know you and to sharing Alaska Quilt Seminar at Sea 2011 with you. Bring a friend, your spouse or your family – non-quilters are welcome to join us! We will make them feel especially welcome and there’s plenty for them to do while you are quilting!
We are really looking forward to returning to Alaska for another Quilt Seminar at Sea, and we hope you can join us!
