Embrace the warmth of the Southern Caribbean as creativity and serenity converge aboard Caribbean Glow. This extraordinary voyage blends the art of quilting with the enchantment of the islands, offering a sanctuary where inspiration flows as freely as the ocean breeze.
Guided by our esteemed instructor, you’ll refine your craft through enriching workshops designed to spark imagination and elevate technique. Each stitch becomes a reflection of the vibrant landscapes and luminous sunsets that surround you. Between sessions, indulge in refined dining, unwind on deck beneath starlit skies, and discover the cultural treasures of sun-soaked ports along your journey.
Caribbean Glow is more than a quilting retreat at sea—it is an experience of renewal, artistry, and connection. Set sail for a journey where fabric, friendship, and the radiance of the Caribbean intertwine, leaving you with memories—and masterpieces—that will glow long after you return home.
