See what you’ll Experience!

Dr. David Jeremiah

d e a r f r i e n d s

One of the highlights of my career has been the cruises we have taken with so many of you. The friendships that we have formed and strengthened by these trips are a treasure to my family and my whole team.

From the special onboard concerts to powerful devotions and some pretty hilarious moments: the week affords us all a chance to unwind while connecting with friends and family in a deeper way. We go into these cruises with great expectations - and God always exceeds our biggest hopes. If there is one part of cruising

that I enjoy more than any other, it’s listening to the personal stories of spiritual walks being strengthened, friendships being formed and relationships being restored.

In addition to some fabulous guest artists, we will see some of the most beautiful scenary and wildlife in God’s creation. With programming for all ages - we have something planned for everyone.

I hope that you and your family will consider joining me and my family on what I know will be an amazing experience onboard a beautiful ship in one of the most picturesque places on earth - Alaska!

Lets plan an amazing memory together! In Alaska!

daY at sea (JuLY 7)

crUisinG tracY arm (JuLY 8, 3:00 P.M.—8:00 P.M.): Nestled between 3,000-foot high granite walls, the narrow, twisting slice of ocean called Tracy Arm Fjord weaves through the Tongass National Forest for roughly 35 miles. The shoreline is spotted with waterfalls created by melting snowcaps and trees sprouting at odd angles from rocky outcroppings. The dramatic Sawyer Glaciers at the end of Tracy Arm are framed by mountains on either side, and are often bathed in a light mist that amplifies the blue hue of the ice.

JUneaU (JuLY 9, 7:00 A.M.—6:00 P.M.): Plan a day of fun family exploration in Alaska’s capital city! Hike or bike your way to the top of Mount Roberts (or take the famous tramway). Adventurers will love taking a floatplane over the ice fields, while the rest of the family can ride to the foot of the famous Mendenhall Glacier and see it up close. Zoom down a treetop zipline or sip hot cocoa from the cabin of a whale-watching excursion—there’s an experience for every member of the family in Juneau’s magnificent wilderness.

sitKa (JuLY 10, 8:00 A.M.—4:00 P.M.): The extraordinary vistas of Sitka are the perfect backdrop to that family portrait for the mantel at home. Kids of all ages will be enthralled with the variety of eagles and falcons in the Raptor Center, or you can join a kayak adventure through the bay where you’ll see humpback whales, otters and seabird rookeries. For an even more invigorating day, charter a salmon fishing excursion!

KetchiKan (JuLY 11, 7:00 A.M.—1:00 P.M.): This rustic Alaska frontier town serves as the launching point for a world of outdoor adventures and memorable family moments. Put dad behind the wheel of a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler® and caravan along abandoned logging roads in the Tongass National Forest or climb into the skies on a float-plane sightseeing trip everyone will enjoy. For a more relaxed outing, visit Creek Street historical museum, see original Native American art in the many galleries or watch thousands of salmon as they leap up waterfalls on their annual upstream trek “home”!

VictOria, B.c. canada (JuLY 12, 6:00 P.M.—11:59 P.M.): Stroll with the family through the charming downtown of this very British city, with its double-decker buses and turreted castles, or head toward the Inner Harbor to watch your kids stare (and laugh) at one of the many street performers. Just outside the city, visit the lush Butchart Gardens filled with a variety of extraordinary plants and animals.
