Local news states that Travelers onboard cruise ships around the world are taking a new approach to souvenirs by bringing and leaving rubber ducks around the boat. The trend has people purchasing rubber ducks and hiding them in spots around the cruise ships. Over the last year alone, TikTok videos garnering thousands of views show users hiding and finding ducks like it’s a game.

In one Facebook group, named “Cruising Ducks,” which has more than 284,000 members, the trend is described as a “cute and entertaining way to have a blast on cruises and to brighten others’ days.” Reports say that a young girl named Abby Davis started the Easter-egg-like idea and it has since taken off. 

The Facebook group explains, “Our goal is to see how far our ducks will travel and where their journey might take them. Keep or hide, you decide, but please post your ducks’ travels here so everyone can enjoy.” Members are then asked to post a photo of their rubber ducks onboard a ship and to specify which cruise line they are on.
