Join this Unforgettable Christian Cruise to Alaska with Salem Media Group, Alistair Begg, Laura Story & Michael O'Brien
The psalmist marvels at the majesty of God in all the earth: “When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place” (Psalms 8:23). Our natural world displays the power of our Creator and testifies to His glory. In the summer of 2020, I’ll tour the picturesque region of the Alaskan coastline where the mountains, forests, and glaciers give us a close-up view of God’s wondrous works.
I invite you to join me and experience Alaska from the comfort of a cruise ship as we travel to ports rich with history and marked by spectacular scenery unique to this snowcapped region. Together, we’ll learn from God’s Word, worship with Laura Story and Michael O’Brien, and deepen our faith and understanding of Scripture.
Our luxury cruise will feature world-class dining and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we’ll long remember. I hope you’ll join me for this exciting voyage to view the beauty of God’s design in all its splendor, to open His Word together, and to enjoy the friendship and fellowship of one another.
Please join me in the summer of 2020 for this exciting adventure!
With my love in the Lord Jesus,
Alistair Begg

America's Last Frontier
This is a land where ancient glaciers drop house-size 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.
