Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we packed a little drawstring bag with about 30 ducks. Each of them tagged with a note from the adventure buddies.

And the best part was our 2-year-old Olivia made it her secret mission to hide these ducks around the entire ship.

So, turns out hiding ducks is an actual whole cruise tradition regardless of the cruise line you go on.

Pack the ducks. They're super cheap on Amazon. Write a little note and turn your cruise into a scavenger hunt they'll never forget.

Why are people hiding rubber ducks on cruise ships? Stop! Don’t forget to pack this one fun thing for your next cruise — no, it’s not sunscreen or a power strip, it’s rubber ducks! 🦆 We packed a small bag with 30 ducks, each tagged with a note from Adventure Buddies. Our two-year-old Olivia made it her secret mission to hide them all around the ship — elevators, pool decks, lounges, even behind signs! Then she’d sneak back to check if they’d been found and celebrated like she won a prize every time one disappeared. This fun tradition is a growing cruise trend across many lines, creating a playful scavenger hunt that connects families and strangers alike. Want to make your cruise unforgettable?
