Have you always wanted to travel for FREE?

Now is your chance! If you are a church or an individual who is interested in gathering a group of people for a trip, we can design the tour to include comps.

For instance, if you have 10 people who are paid you can get one FREE or we can do it so that for every 7(or 5) people we can do a comp. Here is the breakdown:

10 people pay for the trip=1 FREE traveler

7 people are paid=1 FREE travelA group of 21 who pay=3 people travel FREE
(based on 1 comp for every 7)

The less people you have per comp will drive the price for the trip higher. For instance a 1 comp per 5 people will be a higher priced trip than a 1 for 10 comps per person.  Let us know if you can gather a group and we will work on a quote.

Reasons to Start a Travel Ministry

1. Deepens the faith of your members

2. Allows your group to have the opportunity to travel as a community

3. Can help people develop a heart for missions

4. Develops a closer bond between pastors/group leaders & members

5. Makes the Bible stories, history, & culture come alive

6. Allows a Christian travel alternative for members

7. It’s learning on several different levels – spiritual, physical, intellectual, social, & emotional

8. Offers a great fund-raising program for your church/organization

9. Appeals to all ages– seniors, couples, families, singles, youth, & young adults

10. Educates Church Teachers

11. Gives the pastors/organizers who work so hard throughout the year an opportunity to travel for FREE

12. It’s easy… because we do all the work for you

13. Provides an occasion for an Intense Spiritual Retreat

14. Helps to Develop a Christ-like attitude towards other faiths & cultures

By offering your members a Christian travel opportunity you will have the ability to travel as a community to celebrated Biblical lands, Christian heritage locations in Europe, and even enjoying fellowship while cruising Alaska, Hawaii, and the Bahamas. You can host conferences or retreats aboard cruise ships while you are traveling to exciting ports.

Although Faith-based travel would be the heart of your Christian Travel Ministry, there are many more events that can be included in this group:

• Showings of faith-based travel films & documentaries
• Bible studies before you leave on your journey to prepare your heart
• Sharing effective ways to use their recent travel experiences as an open door to share Christ with others
• Hosting internationally-themed food nights
• Reading books on Biblical & Christian heritage sites

best time of year cruise caribbean

I am amazed at how many people have never taken  a cruise.  If you ask my family and I, we would say it is the perfect vacation.  So many people wonder if they are going to take a cruise, what is the best time of year cruise Caribbean?  Our company always find the best deals during the time of year when people are typically  busy.  In September when the kids go back to school.  In November when everyone is tied up and getting ready for Thanksgiving.  In December, when people are wrapped up in shopping and Christmas parties. In the spring when a lot of people are busy with school and work and can;t travel. I prefer traveling in December and in the Spring when traveling to the Caribbean.  No matter which way you look at it, the Caribbean seems to have heavenly weather all year-round.  Here are all the reasons why we enjoy cruising:

First class Formal and Informal Dining 24 hour a day(included)

You don’t ever have to make your bed or clean your room

Meeting room (included)

Nightly Entertainment (included)
