Join this Unforgettable Christian Cruise to Alaska with Sandi Patty & Friends
I just can’t get enough of cruising with you all—so we’re going again! Come with me to the renowned coastline of Alaska for lots of laughs, exquisite cuisine and, of course, amazing musical experiences from me, my family, and some of my friends. This is my very first opportunity to host an Alaskan Cruise and I am so excited to explore this breathtaking region of our world with you!
Imagine enjoying not just one concert, but an entire week of them. Gifted musicians, vocalists and guest artists will be joining me onstage to bless you with song after song proclaiming God’s glory. You’ll hear from the legendary Larnelle Harris, Nichole Nordeman, Veritas, Selah, and members of my family! My pastor Marty Grubbs will be with us all week to lead us in times of devotion and you'll hear from the brilliant writer/speaker Angie Smith.
And the one-and-only Jon Acuff will be joining us again. This young man has gained the national spotlight for his incredible insights into life. You’ll find his motivational talks to be totally invigorating. And he’s fun! He and I will probably get into another epic ping-pong battle…maybe you can join! We'll close out our week together with a Hymn Sing, which will be such a special time singing classic anthems of our faith. My friends and I will be joined onstage by a choir that YOU can be a part of, led by my musical director Jay Rouse.
Alaska is vivid; breathtaking; majestic. We’re truly blessed to have this great geographical wonder as part of the United States. I can’t think of a more exciting place to explore with friends. This is not merely a vacation–it’s a fantastic way to see the world and make memories...while hopefully being refreshed and rejuvenated through songs and stories.
So come with us to America’s 49th state! I can’t wait to see you there.
I am Forever Grateful—for you!
Sandi Patty
Meet These Special Guests During Your Exceptional Travel Experience
Few names are as synonymous with Inspirational music as Larnelle Harris. Admired by fans and peers alike for his majestic tenor voice, Larnelle has become the epitome of talent and integrity in a career that spans over three decades. Honored with five Grammy Awards, eleven Dove Awards, including being named Male Vocalist of the Year three times, a Stellar Award and numerous other accolades, Larnelle was one of the first Christian artists to cross racial barriers
and build healing bridges with predominantly white churches who had never had a black singer on their platform. He has garnered nineteen #1 radio singles and countless top 10 hits, including three top 10 national Inspirational singles coming in the past 12 months alone. Songs such as "How Excellent Is Thy Name," "I Miss My Time With You," "I've Just Seen Jesus" with Sandi Patty, plus many others, including his signature song, "Amen," are now considered modern classics.
Married to wife Cynthia (a.k.a. Mitzy) for over 35 years, Larnelle has successfully combined the demanding lifestyle of a global music ministry with being a husband and father of two grown children. Still a sought-after vocalist for special events and ceremonies, Larnelle also continues to perform solo concerts for churches and Christian organizations worldwide each year. His latest recording titled "I Want To Be A Star" has garnered three, top 20 national radio singles, including the hit "Look At Your Hands" which went to the top 3 position. Billboard Magazine dubbed "I Want To Be A Star" another gem in the crown of one of Christian music's true treasures. In October 2007, Larnelle was inducted into the prestigious Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Nichole Nordeman is one of the most thought provoking singer-songwriters of her generation. Stories, questions, mysteries, doubts, weakness, courage, sorrows, revelation and truth—haunting melodies, gorgeous hooks and Nichole’s lilting voice—this is the substance, the introspection and intelligence that one will find in her work. After nine Dove Awards, including two for “Female Vocalist of the Year,” Nichole continues to generate creative work that speaks to both the simplicities and complexities of life.
“To really think about God placing a calling on your life in any form…not just music,” she
says, “comes with a genuine sense of unworthiness. And I know how ‘aw shucks’ that
must sound. But, it really is true. When you watch music change someone’s life, when a
song or even just a certain line in a song helps them turn a corner that they couldn’t
have turned otherwise, those are goose bump moments, because it is just absolute
evidence that I am such a small part of God making that happen…that I just happened to
be at the right place with the right song and God chose me for whatever reason in that
moment to say what He wanted to say to someone. I liken it to somebody dropping a
stone in the middle of a lake. The stone itself sinks to the bottom. But the rings it makes
get bigger and bigger and bigger until they hit the shore. And, it’s the person on that
shore who says, ‘Oh…thank you!’ I feel very much like that stone a lot…the initial splash
that creates the wave…and then watching God move them to the right shores.”

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.
