How to get crafty on an Ambassador cruise

When you think of a cruise, your mind might drift to images of endless ocean views, delicious dining, and relaxation. But if you’re looking for something a little more hands-on during your trip, an Ambassador cruise might be just the ticket. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking to try something new, you'll find a variety of creative activities to indulge in. Here’s how you can get crafty on a cruise and make your time at sea truly memorable.

Arts and Crafts Workshops

We often host engaging and diverse arts and crafts workshops designed for all skill levels. These sessions are more than just a way to pass the time—they offer a chance to dive into new creative hobbies or hone existing skills. These workshops are led by experienced instructors who guide you through each step, ensuring you leave with a beautiful piece of art and a new talent to boast about.

Personal Projects

If you’re the kind of person who loves to work on personal projects, an Ambassador cruise offers the perfect environment to nurture your creativity. The serene ocean setting provides a peaceful backdrop for knitting, scrapbooking, or any other creative pursuit you enjoy. There’s nothing quite like the gentle sway of the ship and the sound of waves to get your creative juices flowing.

For those who enjoy a bit of solitude while they craft, the ship’s various lounges and quiet corners offer the perfect spots to settle in and focus on your work. If you prefer to share your project with others, there are plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded cruisers who are eager to exchange ideas and tips.
