Vacationers can expect to stay six days and seven nights in a luxury hotel, with quilting workshops and field trips throughout. Each destination will boast two instructors teaching workshops to help complete two quilts.<\/p>\n<p>Stitchin\u2019 Heaven Travel made a name for themselves offering quilting-themed cruises to Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean. When COVID-19 forced the closure of all ocean liners, Stitchin\u2019 Heaven had to cancel all their cruises through the middle of 2021. When global restrictions began to loosen, customers began emailing Stitchin\u2019 Heaven Travel to ask when cruises would resume.<\/p>\n<p>Deb Luttrell, founder and CEO of Stitchin\u2019 heaven, was confronted with a problem: on the one hand, Stitchin\u2019 Heaven was fielding dozens of emails asking about cruises; on the other, major ocean liners were predicting cruises would resume May 2021. The solution she devised was Land Ahoy Quilting Cruises.<\/p>\n<p>Stitchin\u2019 Heaven travel understood that ensuring their guests\u2019 safety was the most important part of planning these getaways. They researched each location and venue to find places that not only lived up to Stitchin\u2019 Heaven Travel\u2019s reputation for quality but were also safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe personally visited each of the hotels,\u201d says Erin Troyer, manager of Stitchin\u2019 Heaven Travel. \u201cWe made sure hotels followed enhanced sanitation protocols, and that the ballrooms had enough space to comfortably social distance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very confident that this will be a safe, healthy experience,\u201d says Troyer. \u201cExcept for the chocolate and cookies, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the Land Ahoy Quilting Cruise webpage at <a href=\"https:\/\/stitchinheaven.com\/pages\/land-ahoy\">https:\/\/stitchinheaven.com\/pages\/land-ahoy<\/a> or email Erin Troyer at <a href=\"mailto:erin@stitchinheaven.com\">erin@stitchinheaven.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-1103s2p-stitchen-logo-696x522.jpg\" alt=\"Stitchin&#039; Heaven\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-1103s2p-stitchen-logo-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-1103s2p-stitchen-logo-696x522-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Orlando \u2013 Feb. 14-21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Join Nancy Mahoney and Sandra Coffey in The Happiest Place on Earth.
