Crowns, Cliffs and Cables

A Royal Fiber Adventure Around the British Isles

Get ready to set sail on Crowns, Cliffs and Cables, a one-of-a-kind floating fiber festival departing from Amsterdam, exploring the beauty and history of the British Isles, and returning to Amsterdam for the grand finale!

This is more than a cruise. It’s a creative adventure bringing together yarn lovers, makers, and fiber enthusiasts for an unforgettable journey filled with stitches, laughter, learning, and connection. From dramatic coastal cliffs and royal history to charming seaside towns and timeless traditions, we’ll celebrate the magic of the British Isles with yarn in hand and creativity at heart.

Whether you crochet, knit, or simply love being surrounded by creative people, there’s a place for you aboard this special voyage.

Stitch, Learn, Connect, and Celebrate

You will enjoy six dedicated sessions, giving everyone time to settle in, learn new skills, work on projects, share ideas, and enjoy the wonderful company of fellow fiber enthusiasts.

And what’s a yarn adventure without a little sparkle? We’re bringing the fun with two themed parties, along with plenty of opportunities to connect, celebrate, and make memories with people who understand that “just one more row” is rarely just one more row!

From workshops and stitch sessions to themed events and family program activities, Crowns, Cliffs and Cables brings creativity and community together against the backdrop of an extraordinary journey around the British Isles.
