Testimonials

“For the longest time I’ve wanted to go on a crafting cruise. When Pam and Tatiana said they were organising a craft cruise, I was so excited! In October of 2025 we sailed to the South Pacific, with my family and all my new SeaCrafters friends. Every sea day was filled with fantastic crafting projects that kept us very busy. During shore days my family and I enjoy the Pacific islands and all they had to offer. I had a fantastic time with all my new crafty friends and can’t wait to go again. I’m looking forward to the next one.”
– Sally 

“From the minute l decided to attend and the ease of booking the countdown began.
Cruising is amazing and coupled with like minded friends it was destined to be fantastic.  It exceeded my expectations in every way, we were handed a special bag filled with all our needs including a booklet showing us 37 cards we could make teaching us new techniques and sharing our creative thoughts. 
Pam and Tatiana certainly had it all covered including amazing giveaways and fun games throughout our sessions.
We crafted on sea days so had plenty of time enjoying off ship excursions and the ships entertainment.
Departing from the magnificent Sydney Harbour and 8 perfect days at sea the highlight for me was definitely crafting and making new crafting friends.
Cannot wait to embark on another Crafting adventure in the future.”
– Jeanette

“Thank you Tatiana and Pam for organising the SeaCrafters cruise Oct 2025.
It was extremely well organised as with 37 projects and over 80 participants, it could have been chaos but wasn’t. All sessions ran smoothly and were fun, making for productive sea days.
There were prizes, plentiful food, lovely ladies and inspirational ideas. Activities, shows, ports and food around the ship away from the crafting were terrific and I had an absolute blast.
There was so much more I could have praised, like the info provided before and during the cruise being clear and concise, how good the travel agent was, and how much work went into the project booklet and all the little touches.”
– Debra Calder
