All aboard! The annual Nail Those Profits at Sea nail cruise (NTP) is now accepting passengers for its January 2012 voyage. Nail professional Vicki Peters and her cruise partner Tonya Hibdon from Ship To Shore Travel have been producing business cruises for the nail industry for more 20 years. One year, during an Alaska cruise, Vicki even chronicled the experience in a NAILS Magazine article. NTP has cruised to almost every port in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Alaska and on January 15, 2012 sets sail to the Caribbean on Carnival Cruise Line’s Glory.

The class schedule will be announced in December, but until then Vicki says that on-board education, including workshops and competitions, will be held during the days at sea at no extra charge including special VIP guest speaker Dr. G from Woodward Labs.

The cabin price is $790. For more information, visit http://web.mac.com/vickipeters/Site/NTP_Nail_Cruise.html.
