A Guide to Christian Cruises

Perrys Singing at Sea 2011
Perrys Singing at Sea 2011

Christian cruises have really taken off in popularity the past few years. A Christian cruise is where an agency rents out the entire ship for a cruise, offers Christian entertainment while the casino is closed and no alcohol is served. This creates a nice Christian atmosphere that has lead to their popularity.  These cruises often cost 2-3 times the normal price of the cruise.  If you are interested in going on one, don’t wait until the last minute, many are sold out months in advance.

It is worth noting that some of these cruises do not charter the entire ship, so alcohol is served and the casino is open.  If you are able to book the same cruise directly through the cruiseline, then the ship is not chartered.

There are several different cruises that bring in national singing groups and popular Christian pastors and speakers to speak during the cruise. The cruises are generally the 4 day trip to the Bahamas and take place in the winter, because who doesn’t want to get away from the cold and head to the Bahamas in February?  However, there are Christian cruises through the year that visit ports in Mexico, Alaska, and throughout the Caribbean that are a week long.
