Hey everybody, it’s Ian the Off Kilter Crafter, and in this video I’m sharing the big news: we’re already planning our 2027 quilting trip—yes, before we’ve even made it to Alaska. We’re setting sail November 11–21, 2027 on a 10-night cruise from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand aboard the Celebrity Edge, and I am honestly a little tongue-tied because Australia has been on my bucket list forever. This trip is all about mixing world-class travel with creativity, community, and a whole lot of “why not?” energy. I’ll be hosting alongside Becca, and we’re also bringing Chris from Rose City Originals—so you already know it’s going to be a crazy time in the best way. We’re still putting details together behind the scenes, but I share what I can: an optional pre-cruise tour in Sydney (we’re hoping for a Sydney Opera House tour—hello, theater major moment), possible shop hop plans, and an absolutely gorgeous New Zealand itinerary with ports and scenic sounds like Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky. The biggest takeaway: if you want in, you’ll need to book through RGE Travels (not Celebrity directly), and I’ve got the flyer, FAQ, and all the links on my website so you can stay updated as we roll out projects and plans.
