Even though Turkey and Greece have been in the news lately, all is well. We are currently in the heart of Athens and I have been running through the city to keep up my miles. Pictures below are from today showing no one is disrupted here and life is going on as usual as if nothing happened.

Some bombs were sent to embassies in Athens but have not caused trouble for us. I am here now and have been out in the streets most of the day. (Packages were also sent to Chicago.) We are not near these happenings and are certainly not targets. We will only use Athens as a stopover before boarding the ship. Later we will visit the Acropolis and have Mass at the Cathedral.

My agents and friends in both countries confirm their is no problem for tourists and both countries are full of pilgrims and tourists who are having no problems or fears.

If any signed up for pilgrimage are concerned, call Corporate Travel at 800-727-1999 or me (they’ll give you my cell number here in Athens).

Our cruise is set and ready to go and the sites are all spectacular and biblical, food is exceptional, accommodations very nice and I’m ready to lead you in the footprints of St. Paul! The weather is PERFECT!

For those not going, watch for our videos right here!

Why Cruise the Biblical Lands with us?

First, price! Our price is the same as competitors BUT — unlike competitors — all of our on-shore excursions are INCLUDED in the price! Also included are ALL tips, even on the ship!

Second, we don’t trust just any guides and drivers – those assigned by the cruise ship. I AM YOUR GUIDE and only work with my own people on shore. I want this to be a purely Catholic experience at Catholic sites.

Third, we are only visiting biblical and distinctly Catholic sites (see list of sites below). That is the purpose of the cruise — to study the Bible and the history of our Church. Steve will be teaching and personally sharing his favorite places in the world with you.

Fourth, we have private daily Masses at the sacred sites like Mary’s House in Ephesus, outdoors in Corinth, etc. A few Masses will be on the ship.

Fifth, each family will receive a professionally edited 90-minute highlights DVD as a keepsake. — Audio headsets will be provided for all excursions. — An experienced American travel escort and priest will be with you at all times from the USA, through the cruise and back to the USA.  — You get a free complimentary copy of my DVD PAUL, CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH (click on picture below for more info).

We will take you to Bible places Janet and I know very well. We will personally share them with you: Athens, Corinth, Thessalonica, Philippi, Berea, Istanbul, Pergamum, Greek Island of Patmos, Ephesus, then the extension to Pompeii and several days in Rome with Mass in the catacombs, and much more.

We will be aboard the Cristal (see picture above). Sign up now because the cabins are going to fill fast.
