Julie Peasgood – Founder of Supercraft Cruises

Julie Peasgood has a multi-faceted career as an accomplished actress, TV presenter and producer, award-winning author,  voice-over artist and events host. Honoured by the Royal Television Society with their celebrated Television Personality of the Year Award, Julie’s acting career spans over fifty years of prestigious theatre and television, including five years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, but she is probably best known for having been a regular in no less than three soaps: Brookside, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Julie has also made her mark as a prolific travel and lifestyle writer: she was Contributing Editor for Cruise & Travel magazine for nine years and has had long-running columns in Crafts Beautiful, Yours and Now magazines, Group Leisure and Travel and Make & Sew Toys, as well as being a regular contributor to Metro, the Mail on Sunday and Sunday Mirror.

Her passion for crafts has seen her co-produce and present five series of Crafty Beggars for Discovery TLC and Together TV. She hosted the online series Let’s Knit Together and also runs a range of her own craft workshops in the UK and abroad.

A veteran of over 100 cruises – as a travel presenter, cruise reviewer and guest speaker – Julie decided in 2018 to combine her love of cruise travel with her knowledge of crafts, to form her highly successful company Supercraft Cruises. With a mission to elevate the choice of crafts available on board ships, she employs teams of specialist craft tutors to deliver unique, leading edge workshops on worldwide cruises. Julie is a firm believer in the power of crafting to reduce stress, boost happiness and improve mental health and wellbeing.
