It's almost cruise time! On October 25, 2025, my son and I will be setting sail on the beautiful MSC World America—and yes, the ducks are coming with us. This isn't just a vacation; it's one of the most fun parts of what we do at MattMadeMe.
Hiding ducks, giving them away, and seeing the surprise (and smiles!) when people find one is pure joy. There's nothing like walking the decks and spotting someone holding one of our little creations, grinning ear to ear. That's what makes all the hours of printing, tweaking, and designing worth it.
We'll be stashing ducks all over the ship and meeting fellow duck hunters and hiders along the way. If you're cruising with us, come say hi! I'll be the guy with the duck bag, duck lanyard, duck swimsuit, duck shirts... you get the idea. I'll be pretty easy to spot.
And if you can't make it aboard, don't worry — we'll be posting plenty of photos and videos throughout the trip. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook (@MattMadeMe) to join the adventure virtually and see where the ducks end up!
Whether you're sailing with us or cheering from shore, thanks for being part of the flock. This community of makers, collectors, and duck lovers keeps the creativity (and quackery) alive. See you on deck!
