Just a Table started as a "Bring Your Own Project" cruise, and we've grown to include optional onboard workshops with Certified Instructor Anne Porter! Each sailing features a different project or technique.
Our April sailing combines eight nights in the Caribbean with dedicated time to create, connect, and enjoy an optional workshop along the way.
We're excited to offer both experiences across our three 2027 sailings - bring your own project, join a workshop, or enjoy a little of both.
If you have ever wanted to make a Bali Wedding Star - this is an excellent project to learn the techniques!
Workshop Fee: US$375.00
Includes kit and 5 instruction days at sea
The kit and pattern will be mailed to
U.S. and Canada locations prior to the cruise at no additional charge.
We’re delighted to welcome Anne to our host team as a Certified Instructor offering optional onboard classes.
Anne is an active member of both the Woodstock Quilt Guild and the Calgary Silver Thimbles Quilt Guild, and is known for her patient, approachable teaching style.
Anne especially enjoys helping beginners gain confidence, and looks forward to quilting alongside you at sea.
Important Information and FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How much time will I have for sewing/crafting on board?
This depends on the itinerary you choose, but we have prioritized sailings with multiple sea days, where you will have open access to the sewing room. There may also be open hours on port days. (TBD)
Q: What is the sewing room setup like?
We have a large room with enough space for 30 tables so everyone can have their own table and space! There will also be community ironing and cutting stations available.
Q: What kind of projects will we be working on?
A: This is a relaxed, free-sew and needlecraft retreat - bring along whatever you enjoy working on, whether it’s sewing, knitting, or another favorite craft. In addition to open studio time, we’ll also offer a few optional classes and group projects, so you can learn something new or simply create at your own pace.
Q: Can non-crafters come along?
A: Absolutely! Many guests bring spouses, family members, or friends who don’t sew. They’ll enjoy all the regular cruise activities and entertainment while you spend time in the craft room - and they are welcome to join us to try a craft as well!
Q: Will there be supplies available on board?
This is a "Just the Table" retreat - we provide the crafting space (and a community cutting table and pressing table) and you bring everything else you need for your project from home.
