Johnson City, TN – IMC Concerts and In Touch Ministries are partnering to bring the Gospel Music Celebration Cruise to Alaska in 2025. Known for its unrivaled, majestic beauty, the 49th state is considered a place unlike any other on earth. Southern Gospel Music lovers will soon have the opportunity to visit this picturesque wonderland as IMC Concerts joins In Touch Ministries to present the Gospel Music Celebration Cruise to Alaska during the week of June 28-July 5, 2025.
IMC first began hosting cruises to Alaska in 2007 and began teaming with In Touch Ministries in 2014 while Dr Charles Stanley, founder of the renowned global ministry, was hosting annual cruises to Alaska. “Dr Stanley loved Gospel music so much,” states IMC President Landon Beene, “and we were thrilled 10 years ago when we were able to join forces with In Touch to present a cruise event that offered wonderful biblical teaching and great Gospel music.”
It’s been a decade since that first joint venture with IMC and In Touch, and as a celebration of the legacy of Dr Stanley, In Touch and IMC are once again joining forces to present a Gospel Music Celebration at sea. “The atmosphere of a Gospel cruise in the most beautiful creation in the world – the Alaska territory, is truly heaven on earth,” Beene states.
The Alaska Gospel Music Celebration Cruise, presented by IMC Concerts and In Touch Ministries, is exclusively represented by the leader in Christian Travel, Inspiration Cruises, a company dedicated to providing an elegance of class and customer experience for passengers. IMC and Inspiration Cruises have historically sold out as fans have enjoyed trips to many popular destinations around the globe. This voyage is expected to be no exception as this cruise will be limited to 1000 guests.
Gospel Music Celebration’s Cruise to Alaska will set sail aboard one of Holland America’s most elegant vessels from Seattle, Washington. Passengers will sail the Inside Passage making stops in Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria, BC, Canada, passing through Strait Point and Glacier Bay.
In addition to viewing the majesty of God’s creation, cruisers will enjoy exceptional music from some of Gospel music’s most popular artists, including The Booth Brothers, Cana’s Voice, Greater Vision, Liberty Quartet, Tribute Quartet, Jim and Melissa Brady, Geron and Becky Davis, as well as comedian Dennis Swanberg, pianist Stan Whitmire, and talented female vocalist, TaRanda Greene. Additionally, Cathedral Quartet alumni will be making a one-week only appearance, as Danny Funderburk, Ernie Haase, Gerald Wolfe, Mark Trammell and Scott Fowler will be aboard for this special reunion event. Additionally, passengers will be treated to never-before seen video footage and devotional bible teaching by Dr Charles Stanley.
According to Beene, pricing is now ALL INCLUSIVE with no hidden conference fees. In addition, passengers booking online will receive a $50 discount per person. Reservations begin on August 6th at 11:00am (Central).
