Itinerary
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
EMBARKATION: 10:30AM – 1:30PM
DEPART: 3:00PM
Enjoy and get familiar with this gorgeous ship and then enjoy the “Sail-Away” concert with all of the artists featured during this celebration!
Day At Sea
Bask in the joys of a Christian cruise aboard this magnificent vessel as you bond with the family of God. During breaks from the stellar program that’s been designed for you, take to the ship’s deck for some cool ocean breeze.
Grand Turk, Turks And Caicos
7:00AM – 3:00PM
Rumored to be the island in the New World where Christopher Columbus first made landfall in 1492, Grand Turk is a quintessential Caribbean paradise. A quarter-mile from shore, the ocean floor drops 7,000 feet along a protected reef, meaning these waters attract as many humpback whales, manta rays, and blue marlin as they do divers. It also offers plenty of charm in the historic buildings of Cockburn Town.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
1:00PM – 10:00PM
Enjoy another freshly prepared breakfast buffet before venturing into the blue cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial architecture of Old San Juan. The tropical rainforests of El Yunque aren’t far either. These scenic wonders will make you proclaim, “My God, How Great Thou Art!”
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
7:00AM – 4:00PM
Explore tranquil bays and hidden coves with friends you’ve made during speaking times and concerts. The gorgeous Magen’s Bay is considered to have been an anchorage for Sir Francis Drake. Then return to the ship to conclude the day as you worship with your group.
Day At Sea
Spend another day in God’s glorious Creation. Snap some keepsake photos before sharing exclusive time with your favorite Christian artists. Share what God has done in you this week—making new friends and having the time of your life.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
8:00AM – 2:00PM
Start your day by reading your Bible from the deck, having a quiet time you’ll never forget.
