Join us for a one-of-a-kind Christian cruise and tour combining the life-impacting Biblical sites in Israel, Greece, Turkey and Egypt with the comfort and convenience of a Mediterranean cruise aboard the beautiful Cristal. The cruise tour is priced from $3249 with 3 people sharing a cabin or $3549 with two people sharing a cabin. This includes airfare from New York, most meals and most tours. See full brochure below for more details.
This is a private, Christian cruise where casinos are closed and fabulous Christian speakers and teachers will provide great fellowship and insight into these Biblical sites. The cruise tour is priced from only $3,249, including airfare from New York, all meals and all tours. There is an optional extension to Petra, the Red Sea and the Dead Sea,
for $1099 per person. There is also an extension to Rome, the Eternal City, from $1279. We have a limited number of balcony cabins and suites on this tour. There has never been a more Biblically based, all encompassing itinerary! See below for full pricing and registration.
It's hard to describe the feeling you will have standing inside the Garden Tomb (where we will share communion), or the intensity of looking out over the Valley of Armageddon. We will walk through Capernaum, where Jesus based His ministry on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Imagine what it would be like to visit the Old City of Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives, and the Garden of Gethsemane. This trip is so impacting for Christians that you'll never again read your Bible in the same way. This is more than just a tour to Israel! This tour also takes you to Greece, Turkey, and Egypt with an option to enjoy Jordan. Day-by-day details are below.
