Join this Unforgettable Cruise of the Eastern Caribbean with Greg Koukl and Stand to Reason
Join us on March 17–24, 2012, as together we’ll set sail from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, for seven days aboard Holland America’s ms Eurodam. We’re planning a voyage you will never forget. One specifically designed for those who care to represent Christ to a world looking for answers to life’s toughest questions.
You will be challenged with stimulating presentations, have a chance to ask questions in “open forum” discussions, and enjoy the interaction and fellowship with both our speakers and your fellow passengers. Add to that the splendor of the Caribbean coastline and beautiful tropical ports to explore, and you can see what makes this a conference not to be missed.
Greg Koukl will be joined by STR’s Student Impact Director Brett Kunkle and STR speaker/trainer Alan Shlemon for a line-up of conference sessions that will stimulate your thinking and equip you with practical skills.
As always, you don’t need any prior understanding of the subject matter. Simply bring a desire to learn and an expectation to relax. Everything about this trip is being planned with your enjoyment and enrichment in mind.
Save the dates and contact Inspiration Cruises and Tours at 800 247 1899. They are assisting Stand to Reason with our trip, and their skilled staff is committed to answering all your questions and helping to make this a memorable trip.
Looking forward to seeing you on board!
Here’s what others have said about their cruise conferences with Stand to Reason:
“I had deliberated for some time on whether or not to go on the cruise, but I am so grateful now for having made the right decision. I’ve told friends it felt like I had been dropped into an apologetics equivalent of a fantasy baseball camp where I actually got to workout with my heroes in the faith.” –Jack Keebler
“I wanted to thank you for the incredible privilege of sailing with Stand to Reason on the ms Amsterdam to Alaska. It was one of the most beautiful and memorable trips I’ve ever taken, and I felt very lucky to be in the presence of such great thinkers!” –Jane Rockley
“The combination of spiritual training, intellectual stimulation, meeting people of like mind, being awed by God’s creation, and the fun of a cruise is unbeatable. My wife and I can’t wait to go again, and we hope to bring others with us!” –Matt Seuss
“Aside from viewing the beauty of God’s Alaskan creation, the STR cruise stretched and illuminated my style of Christian thinking - to be a better and more effective Ambassador for Jesus Christ.” –Laurie Anne Brown “The integration of the scholarly with fellowship and the cruise experience itself, like our God we serve, was awesome!” –Jerry Bogacz

San Juan, Puerto Rico (March 20, 1:00 P.M.–11:00 P.M.)
In days of yore, the waters near Puerto Rico teemed with pirate ships commanded by the likes of Sir Francis Drake. Aye, they are long gone, but in their wake they have left an island of national treasures: La Casa Blanca, built in 1501 for the island’s first governor, Ponce de Leon; the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan; the tropical rain forests of El Yunque.
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (March 21, 8:00 A.M.–5:00 P.M.)
The lovely, European-influenced port of Charlotte Amalie wins the prize for Caribbean shopping thrills. Cameras, jewelry, watches, perfumes are all here. So are beautiful beaches, undersea gardens and tales of Blackbeard.
Day At Sea (March 22)
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (March 23, 8:30 A.M.–4:00 P.M.)
Half Moon Cay is ideal for beach lovers, watersports and nature enthusiasts. Snorkel among the coral reefs, or paddle boat in the crystal clear bay.
