Check online and with your LQS as they frequently have "quilting" cruises to Alaska. I prefer Holland America because they seem to cater to an older crowd, not as many children or teenagers. Quilting cruises are really fun and sometimes don't cost any more than a regular cruise. You can sign up to take as many or as few classes as you want -- always have time to sew -- and it's fun being with others who enjoy your same hobby. On top of all that, you usually visit quilt shops in every port.
