Featherweights Afloat Caribbean Cruise 2021
by Christian Henry

Join us for a Featherweights Afloat Caribbean Cruise in March of 2021! Enjoy several days and evenings of relaxation as well as ample sewing time with fellow Featherweight friends on board the Celebrity Constellation. As with all of our Featherweights Afloat cruises, one special day will be devoted entirely to learning Featherweight Maintenance!

REGISTRATION FORM BELOW

We will have a one day class for Featherweight Maintenance, as well as several days and evenings for you to relax and sew with your Featherweight on board the Celebrity Constellation.  You will see the Islands of Puerto Rico, St Maarten, St Kitts, St Thomas, and the Dominican Republic. This particular cruise line and the itinerary was chosen so that you would be pampered with luxury accommodations with the combination of four days "at sea" for memorable quilting and Featherweight experience! The ship will depart from Tampa, Florida on March 19th, 2021 and will return to Tampa on March, 29th 2021.  

The price for this ultimate "Featherweights Afloat" Alaska Cruise Package starts at $2795 for each Featherweight Quilter / Workshop Attendee (cabin rates are based on double occupancy.)  For a non-quilter / accompanying roommate (e.g. spouse, traveling friend, etc) the price will be discounted by $500.
