In addition to special pricing for our cruise, you receive a $25 onboard credit which can be used toward excursions, drinks and gift shop purchases. The cost of the four-day cruise, which includes your accommodations, meals and our workshops, begins at $345 per person for an ocean view stateroom. I am hoping to get into the famous Purple Jacket at our Cocktail reception!
