Join this Unforgettable Christian Cruise Conference to Alaska with Insight For Living Ministries & Chuck Swindoll
Majestic. I can’t think of a better word to describe Alaska! Towering mountain ranges with snowcapped peaks silhouette against a deep-blue sky. Magnificent glaciers shed massive chunks of ice into a foaming sea. Bald egales swoop through trees. The ocean sprays as onlookers gasp at whales cresting before their eyes.
The splendor of it all takes my breath away!
Few places connect us with the majesty of God as Alaska does. In Alaska, from every grand vista, we join our voices with creation, lifting praises to the Creator:
Shout to the LORD, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! (Psalm 98:4)
Plus, we always have a lot of fun!
During our 2018 Insight for Living Ministries Alaska Cruise Conference, we’ll share laughter and special moments over sumptuous meals. We’ll enjoy incredible performances by wonderfully gifted musicians and entertainers. We’ll savor the adventure of exploring America’s Final Frontier. And we’ll meet believers who will become new, lasting friends. On a few occasions, we’ll gather for worship, where I’ll bring several messages to enrich and encourage you spiritually. On the Fourth of July, we will have a grand concert.
By the way, your children and grandchildren won’t be left out! They’ll study the Bible, worship, and explore Alaska alongside you. The younger children will also enjoy their own Vacation Bible School in their creative learning environments, with curriculum and involvements tailor-made to enhance their adventure. The teens will team up together in activities just for them. They’ll love it!
When you return home, you and anyone you’ve brought with you will be refreshed, renewed, and recharged from connecting with our majestic God in breathtaking Alaska. Cynthia and I truly look forward to this unforgettable time with you. Let’s experience God’s wonders together!
Anticipating a memorable voyage,
Charles R. Swindoll

SCENIC CRUISING INSIDE PASSAGE
Sunday, July 1
While cruising this network of waterways and islands, you’ll notice Creation offers up its own form of worship. During a dynamic group session, join with Believers from all over to hear God’s Word—growing closer to Him and having the time of your life.
JUNEAU, ALASKA
Monday, July 2, 1:00 P.M.–10:00 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.
SKAGWAY, ALASKA
Tuesday, July 3, 7:00 A.M.–9:00 P.M.
Once a remote-but-bustling stopover for gold prospectors headed to the Klondike, Skagway has grown out of its lawless days but still retains its Old West heritage. Today, its storied saloons and gambling dens have given way to preserved buildings, charming boardwalks, antique passenger cars and the wild beauty for which the Inside Passage is known. Highlights include the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park, the vintage White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad and the historic Chilkoot Trail.
CRUISING GLACIER BAY, ALASKA
Wednesday, July 4, 7:00 A.M.–4:00 P.M.
Only a few exclusive cruise lines have been given access to the waters of Glacier Bay, a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located west of Juneau, the glassy surface of this impossibly scenic body of water is surrounded by deep fjords, green forests, snowcapped mountains and countless massive tidewater glaciers. Passengers often enjoy breathtaking views of icebergs calving off the walls of ice and splashing into the cold waters below.
KETCHIKAN, ALASKA
Thursday, July 5, 10:00 A.M.–6:00 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 floatplane 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”!
SCENIC CRUISING INSIDE PASSAGE
Friday, July 6
Bask in the joys of Christian cruising 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 and scan the horizon, as this day almost always features encounters with marine life.
Concluding In Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
(Saturday, July 7, 2018)
Arrive: 7:00 A.M. Debarkation: 8:00 A.M.–10:00 A.M.
America's Last Frontier
This is a land where ancient glaciers drop house-sized chunks of ice into the sea with a roar, where grizzlies fish for spawning salmon, where the lush green canopy of trees is offset by distant snowy mountains and where the word “majestic” is hardly enough to describe what you see. Nowhere else in North America is the scenery so spectacular and God’s creative wonder so vivid. From Juneau to Ketchikan, from caribou to king salmon, Alaska is the perfect place to reconnect with your Creator.
North American Animals
Have your camera ready as moose and bears wander through meadows and streams, whales burst from the ocean’s surface and eagles fly overhead.
Calving Glaciers
Watch in amazement as columns and shards of glacial ice shear off and splash into the ocean.
Towns on the Edge of the World
Explore the unique personality and learn the culture of cities and towns living on the border of the Alaskan wilderness.
