KNITopia RHINE Cruise 2027: UPDATE!

She said YES — and we are doing a happy dance over here!!!

We have been hoping, dreaming, and (let's be honest) gently pestering the extraordinary Isabell Kraemer to join us on a KNITopia cruise, and she has finally said YES!

If you don't already know Isabell, she is one of the most beloved knitwear designers in the world today . A self-taught knitter from southern Germany, her cool, modern, effortlessly wearable sweaters and accessories have earned her a devoted following of more than 200,000 knitters on Instagram alone. Her designs have graced the pages of Vogue Knitting, Laine Magazine, and Amirisu, and her patterns are celebrated by knitters of every level for being as beautiful to wear as they are satisfying to make.

And here's the best part: we're sailing through her home country. There is something wonderfully poetic about learning from a brilliant German designer as we cruise the gorgeous Rhine River through Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, the Black Forest, and Basel.

Join Melissa, Franklin Habit, Casapinka, and now Isabell Kraemer aboard the fully-chartered AMAStella for the knitting trip of a lifetime.

Come cruise and schmooze with us May 2–9, 2027.

Join Melissa Leapman, Franklin Habit, and Casapinka for a once-in-a-lifetime cruise on Europe's beautiful Rhine River with stops in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Heidelburg, Strasburg, the Black Forest, Basel, and more!

I've chartered the entire AMAwaterways AMAStella ship (!!!) so all of her luxurious space and memorable amenities will be ours, just for us, for the entire voyage,  May 2-9, 2027.

All knitting content and classes, guided shore excursions, unlimited drinks, wifi, and a world-famous goody bag are included.

Special pre- and post cruise options:

While we're already there in the "neighborhood", I have planned a couple of optional extra days to explore Amsterdam, Zurich, and Lake Lucerne. 

Experience the warm welcoming and friendship of my amazing knitting community!

Knitting class topics and schedule will be posted closer to the event.
