Spring is a wonderful time to travel and what a better way to see the Mediterranean area than from the comfort of a cruise ship. We invite you to come with us on the beautiful Jewel of the Seas and visit the missionary sites of the New Testaments in Greece, Turkey, and Rome! There are so many highlights to this trip!

As we take this time to learn and ponder on the Savior, visiting the sites of the Apostles missionary journeys will testify of the importance of the work that continues today. Hopefully, all of this will include the celebration of the highly anticipated temple opening in Rome.

Our price includes 2 nights pre-cruise stay in Rome with touring historic sites along with breathtaking Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel. While on the 10-night cruise we’ll have special onboard seminars to enhance your experience with study materials plus all your transfers and optional LDS based tours and excursions along the way.

You tour director, Tim Taggart, has taken hundreds of people to these special sites, and will enhance your trip with his special insights and passionate teaching style.
