Scrapbooking Ideas for Cruises

Most people want to enjoy the memories made on a cruise vacation. That is why scrapbooks are handy. Cruise scrapbooks are enjoyable to make and let you look back on all the great times you had traveling on the ship. These are some creative ideas you can use to make your cruise scrapbook stand out from other scrapbooks or vacation photo albums.

Tickets and Boarding Passes

If you have actual printed tickets, save them. Display the tickets on the first page of the scrapbook to denote the start of your adventure. If not, use your boarding pass or sail and sign card that you were given to use during the length of your trip (your room key). On this first page also include a photo of your group leaving or the boat itself.

Photos of Onboard Activities

Take pictures of everything you do. Make a separate page for each activity or all your formal nights where you are dressed up and so forth. Add decorative wording with phrases that describe the activities, such as "Dinner," "Casino Time," "Belly Flop Contest" and "Shows."

Brochures and Souvenirs

At each port get something to bring back that has the name of the city, such as a brochure, bookmark or other somewhat flat item that can be included in your scrapbook. Use this to designate what the following page or pages are about so you can include all the photos and things you want and you'll remember your location.

Keeping a Travel Journal

While on the cruise if you wrote about your adventure in a journal you can pull out those pages and put them in your scrapbook. This will be a fun reminder of your travels. Place this on colorful travel scrapbooking paper to make it stand out.
