Are you overwhelmed by your pictures? Let's take control of your photo life together!
Are you overwhelmed by your pictures? Let's take control of your photo life together!
If you’re the person with a phone full of pictures…
The one who always says, “wait… just one more photo.”
If you’ve ever been told, “you take too many pictures.”
If you save photos, organize them, and quietly make sure the memories don’t disappear.
If you are the family memory keeper.
This cruise was created for you.
Because you understand something most people don’t.
You are the one who knows that one day, this moment will be gone. And when it is, you are the one who made sure the memory didn’t disappear with it.
That’s what it means to be a Picture Person.
And being that person often means you're also the one responsible for the photos:
the boxes, the digital files, the albums, and the stories that go with them.
But that role can feel a little lonely in the real world.
For one week in January, that changes.
On the Great Photo Voyage, you'll be surrounded by other picture people who care about photos the same way you do and we’ll spend the week learning, organizing, sharing, and celebrating the memories we’ve been trusted to keep.

Mollie Bartelt is a leading expert in photo organizing, and Krista Kowalczyk has spent over 30 years as a full-time professional photographer. Between the two of them, they’ve written books, spoken on stages, appeared on national television, and helped thousands of people care for their photo collections.
But what people love most is the way they teach together.
Mollie will happily remind you to delete junk photos, while Krista insists there are never enough pictures — a debate that usually ends in laughter.
They both love helping people reconnect with their photos, keep their pictures safe… and they both love a good sail-away party on a cruise too!
The Great Photo Voyage is where they bring the education and fun vibes together for one unforgettable week.

“It was the perfect mix of educational sessions and just hanging out together and doing fun things around the ship. It was everything I was hoping for.”
- Hayley, Texas
“We all came from different places and different lifestyles, but everyone clicked. You made the group feel welcoming and cohesive.”
- Laci, Utah
“We could ask questions and never felt stupid. It was very personal and supportive.”
- Lindsay, Utah
“I loved having both Mollie and Krista there. Their perspectives are different, and together they shared so much helpful information.”
- Harmonee, Michigan

Two mornings at sea you will learn simple, practical ways to protect and organize your photos including:
* backing up your photo collection
* cleaning up your phone camera roll
* understanding cloud storage options
* building a folder system that actually works

Bring your camera or your phone and explore together while capturing the moments that make travel unforgettable. During the walks there will be fun exercises designed to help you see differently, expand your creativity, and come home with photos you truly love.

Optional group activities, games and creative challenges - including a photo scavenger hunt - that make it easy to keep taking photos and getting to know other picture people who love doing the same.

Informal but guided conversations about photography, memory keeping, and the important role we play as the keepers of our families’ stories.

A space where taking photos is celebrated, encouraged, and shared. Get to know fellow picture people in a place where your love of photographs is completely understood.

You’ll leave the cruise with:
• new friends who
understand your love of photos
• practical systems for
keeping your photos safe
• fresh inspiration for capturing
meaningful moments
