Have you ever been walking around a cruise ship and spotted a cute little duck hiding in an unexpected place? You may have discovered a cruise duck! Hiding and finding cruise ducks has become a fun activity for cruisers of all ages—and it’s an easy way to add a little extra excitement to your vacation.
At Homemade Creations by Nana, I make joining the fun even easier with ready-to-hide cruise ducks complete with personalized tags. No printing, cutting, tying or assembling—your ducks arrive ready for their cruise adventure!
What are Cruise Ducks?
Cruise ducks are small rubber ducks that cruisers hide in public areas around a cruise ship for other passengers to discover. When you find one, you can keep it as a fun souvenir or re-hide it for another cruiser to find.
Many cruise ducks have a tag attached showing who hid the duck, the cruise ship and sailing date. Finders are often encouraged to share a photo on social media using #CruisingDucks before continuing the fun.
Where Can you Hide Cruise Ducks on a Cruise Ship?
Part of the fun of cruising ducks is finding the perfect spot! Choose a place where another cruiser can easily discover your duck without it getting in the way.
Fun places to hide cruise ducks include:
Near public seating areas
On or near window ledge in public areas
Around family activity and game areas
Near elevators or stairway landings where permitted
In public lounges and common areas
Near decorative displays or other visible public spaces
Around outdoor seating areas away from pools.
Remember: Always follow your cruise line's rules. Never place ducks in shops, pools, hot tubs, restricted or crew-only areas, or anywhere they could create a safety issue. Avoid hiding them so well that they look like forgotten trash-the goal is for another cruiser to find them.
How to join the Cruise Duck Hunt
Joining the fun is easy! Bring a few tagged ducks along on your cruise and hide them in public areas where other passengers can discover them. Avoid shops, pools, hot tubs and other restricted areas.
When someone finds your duck, they can keep it or re-hide it and continue the adventure. It’s especially fun for families and kids to see how many ducks they can find throughout their vacation!
