Tour the Holy Land on a Christian Cruise

Tour the Holy Land on a Christian Cruise

It’s one thing to learn about Israel, Egypt, and other biblically significant territories by reading about them.  But, it’s another thing altogether to experience them first-hand.  The good news is that by taking a Christian cruise, you can visit several locations within the span of a few days, and the comfort of returning to the same cabin each night.

A Christian cruise can bring families, church groups, and friends together while providing identification with biblical people and the lands they originated from.  Some organized Christian cruises will feature group activities both on and off the ship; however, individual travelers have the freedom to explore each port of call on their own.

What Makes a Christian Cruise a Christian Cruise?

Location, location, location.  While that isn’t the only thing that defines a Christian cruise, location does play a major role.  You can immerse yourself in present-day Holy Land culture with a Middle East or Mediterranean cruise stopping in Israel, Egypt, and in various other locations around the region.

When to Take a Christian Cruise

There are only a handful of ships touring the Middle East each year; however, Mediterranean cruises may also stop in your desired locations, so it’s a good idea to check the ports of call on the itinerary for each type of Christian cruise.

Ports of Call on a Christian Cruise

Travelers on a Christian cruise (whether Mediterranean or Middle East) may stop in exciting locations rich in Bible history, including:

  • Alexandria
  • Haifa (near Nazareth)
  • Giza
  • Tel Aviv
  • Jeddah

What Will You See on a Christian Cruise?

Depending on the ports of call your Christian cruise is scheduled to visit, you may see things like:

  • Jesus’ birthplace
  • The Pyramids of Egypt
  • Jericho

Some of valuably historic sites may require leaving the port of call and traveling inland, so ensure you plan enough time to return to your Christian cruise ship after your visit.

Booking Your Christian Cruise

Nothing’s better than seeing the Holy Land, right?  Come to think of it, maybe it’s better to see the Holy Land from the comfort of a Christian cruise… and while saving money.

If you agree with that, there’s good news.  You can book a Christian cruise through Vacations to Go and save up to 75 percent off the listed price.

A Christian Cruise through Vacations to Go

Vacations to Go partners with major cruise companies--including those which feature Christian cruises--to bring exclusive, members-only discounts to their users.  To become a member of Vacations to Go, simply register on their site; it’s that simple.

Vacations to Go is able to provide these steep discounts because cruise companies don’t want to sail at less than full capacity.  To prevent leaving with half-full ships, they work with Vacations to Go to sell a limited number of cabins at significantly discounted rates.  As part of their mutual agreements, Vacations to Go may only extend these offers to members--not the general public.
