YES! RGE Travels will work with you and the others that are traveling solo to find you compatible roommates. The Facebook Group is also a great way to find roommates and get to know those traveling on the cruise. [CLICK HERE TO JOIN]

We’re unable to predict how many solo travellers will book, but we’re prepared for it. We’ll help you match with a roommate if you’re looking for one, alternatively there’s single rooms available.

The beauty of traveling with Ange and Nic is that you’re going to be with a large group of people who all have the love of quilting in common. You’ll be able to choose how social you want to be and we’ll do our best to make sure no one feels left out.

You can indicate your interest in doing the class when you book. Once your deposit is paid you’ll be able to select which class you’d like to attend, morning or afternoon.

Absolutely! We’ve designed the class to give you a foundational skill set in patchwork. Our goal is to make sure that you’re a confident patchworker by the time you leave the ship.

Don’t worry if you’re already a confident patchworker, we’ve got something for you too!

DEPART SINGAPORE

23 December 2023 we’ll board the Celebrity Millennium.
At first glance, this diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia gleams with modernism and commercialism, making it seem more Western than Eastern. But as you continue to discover the city-state, you’ll uncover the eclectic mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures and British colonial impressions that give rise to a unique Singaporean identity. The cultural fusion is perhaps best expressed in Singapore’s unofficial language, Singlish, a unique patois of English, Chinese and Malay.

ARRIVE IN BENOA, BALI, INDONESIA

4 January 2024 our adventure ends… for now!
Bali is a bucket-list destination that’s home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, rich culture and traditions, and an incredible fusion of cuisines. With vibrant reefs close to shore, snorkeling from the white-sand beaches of the south is a must-do. No cruise to Bali is complete without a visit to Tanjung Benoa Beach. It’s located just north of the busier and more developed resort areas, and the calm surf and smooth sand make it an ideal beach for families. Just down the main road, you’ll find a vibrant fishing village and plenty of chances to experience the less-traveled side of this exotic wonderland. On your cruise to Bali, be sure to catch an authentic Kecak fire dance performance. Haggle for handmade art, jewelry, carvings, fabrics, and more at the bustling markets. And visit the Pura Lahur Uluwatu, an iconic Balinese temple perched more than 800 feet above the Indian Ocean.

YES! The lovely lads at RGE Travels will help you get it all taken care of so you’re ready to go when your passports arrives.

YES! The lovely lads at RGE Travels will help you get it all taken care of. The more the merrier!

Yes, but it’s totally worth it because the drinks package includes sodas, juices, specialty coffees and bottled water. (Bottled water is especially good for those shore excursions!)

The ship has capacity for 2,400 guests however Celebrity are currently not booking the ships at capacity. At this stage we’re assuming a capacity of 75% will be booked.

The majority of people say they can’t feel the ship at all. However, if you think you might suffer from sea sickness there are a lot of options available to combat this. RGE Travels recommends SeaBands which are available at your local chemist/drug store

Once deposit is made for the cruise, you’ll get a notification 120 days prior to the cruise to book excursions, extras, etc.

RGE Travels will provide extensive support to help you book excursions and make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

No! The classes are only run while we’re at sea. This means you’ll have 3 days of sewing in-between shore excursion adventures.

At this stage we do not have any shop hops at port planned. We will be providing you with a list of options for textiles as we get closer to the departure date.

There will be 40 in total, but the classes will be split into 2 sessions of 20 participants each. This way you get both the joy of making lots of friends and focused attention from the teachers.

We’re unable to predict how many solo travellers will book, but we’re prepared for it. We’ll help you match with a roommate if you’re looking for one, alternatively there’s single rooms available.

YES! Every day at sea there’s between 60 – 65 activities happening aboard the ship that you can choose from to participate in. You won’t be left wanting when it comes to entertainment.

You can indicate your interest in doing the class when you book. Once your deposit is paid you’ll be able to select which class you’d like to attend, morning or afternoon.

There’s 2 class times:

Morning: 7:30am to 11:30am

Afternoon: 12:30pm to 4:30pm

Ange and Nic guarantee that at least one of them, if not both, will be at all sessions to make sure you get the support you need.

[CLICK HERE] to find out more about the class, including a first-look at the project we’ll be making.

PFAFF are providing all machines for this cruise. They’re also provided a skill technician to help you get comfortable with your machine.

There will be an introduction to your machine session as well as a free mini project to help you get confident with using the machine.

You can even discuss purchasing the machine at the end of the cruise!

There are no quilting shops on board BUT we will pull together information about places you could go if you’re interested in our port stops.

Don’t worry about not having enough fabric, we know quilters and they love to share!

No. The From Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Templates and Rulers are included in your class fee. Ange will be running a class on the templates so you can learn all about them and decide if you’d like to use them.

The pattern we’ll be working from comes with instructions for foundation paper piecing (FPP).

[CLICK HERE] to find out more about the class, including a first-look at the project we’ll be making.

The short answer is no. However, you could bring a hand stitch project to finish in between class times or while you’re traveling.

At this stage, no. However that may change once we’re onboard and have a better idea of how many people would like to sew outside of class hours and if we have teachers available during this time. We’d recommend planning on not being able to sew outside class times and then being pleasantly surprised if that changes.

Yes, the pattern comes with an FPP option. However the support for FPP will be somewhat limited as neither Ange or Nic specialise in FPP. Both are proficient in it however so there will be some level of troubleshooting available.

A journey is best measured in friends,

not in miles.
