Laugh until you cry with the comedy of Mark Lowry. Come enjoy worship with artists like Triumphant and world-renowned saxophonist, Uriel Vega. Also, for the first time on Gospel Music Celebration cruises will be the sounds of impeccable acoustic music played at its finest by multi-talented family group, Endless Highway!
As usual, this cruise celebration takes place amid the luxury and attentive service of one of Holland America’s best ships, the Vista Class Zuiderdam. Immerse yourself in a world of lighthouses, lobster, and laid-back charm by day and heavenly entertainment each night.
