More than just a cruise.... So much more!The Woodturning Cruise™ is so much more than just lazy days on the sundeck! Onboard you can attend classes and demonstrations presented by world renowned international woodturners and artisans - a once in a lifetime experience! You can also use the lathes yourself at scheduled times, with or without help from our staff.

There are eleven ports of call with plenty of time for excur-sions, exploring, shopping and eating great food. When the ship is in port there are NO passenger wood turning classes - that´s when the locals come onboard to visit the trade show and view the demonstrations. You will enjoy beautiful days in port with your spouse or new friends that you meet on the MS GANN.

In the evenings there are some activities taking place: * A Knighthood ceremony performed by King Arthur

* Cod fishing from the deck of the ship - catch one and the chef will cook it (or make a soup if its small..)* King Neptune´s colorful ceremony upon crossing the Arctic Circle. Certificate presented to participants.On the cruise you will meet participants from many countri-es and learn about their cultures. And being one of the select 220 on board, it is easy to become a part of the Ship´s Community and make new friendships!

Couples? Even though most of the turners are men, most of them bring their wife along - so you will not be alone! (A common question!) On previous cruises the ladies have had a lot of fun, going asho-re shopping, excursions and even setting up an evening perfor-mance! We´ve also had a knitting club and a whittling group, so who knows what the next cruise will bring. We encourage pas-sengers to get together and develop informal arts and crafts clas-ses which are not offered on the ship. Assistance will be provided where possible.

National Geographic rates the Norwegian fjords as one of the world’s greatest unspoiled travel destinations and we will be travelling in these surroundings! Everywhere we sail, there’ll be loads of magnificent photo opportunities so bring your cameras. Photo credits: Bob Neill, Arthur Aveling, Knut A Lien, Lena T. Steine, Hugo Asphaug, Reimertz, Innovation Norway and many more! Thank you!

popular on previous cruises and we will organise a similar aucti-on in 2011. You will have the opportunity to buy a very special piece made by one of our world famous demonstrators. At the very least it will be a treasured souvenir made by the best in the world and if you're really lucky, it may be a collector's item!

Gallery

There will be a Gallery set up and open to the public while in each har-bour. We invite all our passengers and demonstrators to bring a few pieces of your work. Each passenger or demon-strator will be limited to three pieces of their work to be displayed at any one time. The Gallery pieces can be sold and volunteers working in the Gallery will make arrangements to connect artists and buyers. The Gallery staff will not handle any sales. To make the Gallery bigger and better

we would appreciate passengers who would like to volunteer to work in the Gallery to sign up on the booking form. We will contact you and develop a schedule for each volunteer. At the end of the show artists will have the opportunity to donate pieces of work for an auction to raise money for the Norwegian Cancer Association.

The Gallery will only be open when we dock and all items will be stored securely when we sail. Each Gallery piece will be recorded and supervised when the Gallery is open. The Gallery

is a won-derful feature of the cruise and is very popular with demonstrators, passenger and visitors alike. It showcases magni-ficent craftsmanship and one of a kind artwork.

The Gallery has been very popular on previous cruises and you can make it even better for this 5th cruise!

Lien will be in charge of the orderly and safe use of lathes. They will supervise the times passengers will use the lathes so that every passenger has equal opportunities to learn and turn. Passengers will be able to pre-book time on the lathes, knowing that tutors are very close to advise on tips and techniques. At each lathe there will be a well equipped set of tools, chucks and other necessary tools. necessary accessories. Unfortunately we won't be able to provide free wood, however, you can bring your own, or a very good selection of different species will be available for purchase on board..

Cabins.You can choose from a variety of cabins. All cabins have a shower and toilet. On the deck plan you will find outside and inside cabins. Outside means with a window (small or large). Inside means there are no windows.

Beds are arranged either as bunk beds or two beds at floor level (not double bed, one at each side). In most cabins you can flip up one of the beds to get more space.

Our experience is that apart from sleeping, not much time is spent in the cabin due to the fact that there are so many pla-ces to be; in various lounges, outside to get a view, and down in the workshop...

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the electrical voltage and plugs used in Norway and on the cruise?A: In Norway we use 220/240V - 50Hz and it will be the same aboard the MS GANN. If you have 110 -115 volt appliances, they cannot be used unless you use a power converter and a Norwegian or Europlug (as shown). You are well advised to buy a travel conver-

ter pack at any major electrical store in your home country prior to your departure. They are not expensive. Most computers and many battery chargers can be operated on both 110-115V and 220-240V, however, we strongly recommend you check the respective technical instruction labels and/or appliance manuals to determine the sta-tus of each electrical item you intend to bring. What you don't want to do is to fry your applian-ce or electronic equipment. That's worse than not using it!. You can also check out this website www.walkabouttravelgear.com/c_nor.htm*

At port in Bergen.

The Woodturning Cruise™ starts and ends in Stavanger, Norway´s third largest city. You will board the ship in the center of town, a unique feature of Stavanger,This beaut-iful city brings in large cruise ships and boats from around the globe. There's lots to see and enjoy in the surrounding area. Photo: Hugo Asphaug

Spectacular waterfalls!

From the city of Ålesund. Rebuilt in Art Nouveau style, Alesund is unique. Credits: Terje Borud/Innovation Norway

We sail mostly in sheltered waters (normally not as close as this though!). And seasickness is rare...

Svolvær harbour.

You may visit the bridge while we sail and get the feeling of how they navigate and control the ship. Watch the captain in action! Bob Neill - testing the captains seating.
