Who this trip is for
01
Your weekly game needs a change of scenery: think tulips blooming, sailing by castles, butler service. Your foursome keeps saying you should all go somewhere together. This is that somewhere.
02
You are walking onto a ship where every table needs a fourth. Nobody eats dinner alone, and you will feel safe because you are always with our group.
03
You know cruising. What you have not experienced is a ship where everybody plays, the tables never close, and the excursions are even better with friends.
04
This is a multi-game charter. Canasta tables run alongside Mah Jongg all week, and plenty of guests move between both.
What happens on the live meeting
We walk through the whole week end to end, live, and answer whatever you ask. If it is not your trip, you will know by the end of the webinar.
You are not committing to anything. It is just information to help you decide.
What the cabins actually look like, what the difference between the categories is worth, and which ones are still open.
Where you go, what is included, and which excursions are worth planning your day around.
When Mah Jongg and Canasta are played, and what happens if you are a solo traveler.
Live, on the call. Including the ones about cost, single supplements and how far in advance to book flights.
Amsterdam to Basel
Koblenz
Not a photo stop. An afternoon of Mah Jongg inside a medieval castle, arranged for this charter and no one else.
Cologne
The most beautiful stretch of the Rhine goes past the windows while the tables stay full. Scenic cruising and game play at the same time.
Kehl and Strasbourg
Through the Alsatian wine villages and the prettiest countryside in France, with tastings along the way. The e-bikes do the hills for you.
Amsterdam
The canals are at their best, and these are the only six weeks of the year when the Keukenhof gardens are in bloom.
Truly all-inclusive
No drinks package to add on. No excursion menu to pay through. No gratuities waiting at the end of the week.
Optional Jewish heritage tours
Jewish heritage excursions run in most ports alongside the standard touring, and Crak Your Bags donates a portion of the proceeds from this sailing to the charitable organizations it supports.
Every guest chooses their own excursions, in every port.
Your host
Crak Your Bags is a boutique, women-owned travel agency built out of a love of Mah Jongg. Jill Fox and Susan Bishop have chartered whole ships for this community before.
That matters more than it sounds. The excursion itinerary was chosen by women who play, the tables are provided by Crak Your Bags, and nobody is going to hand you a Chinese Mah Jongg set and call it close enough.
See you on the river
