After a short night at sea, we docked in Seattle at about 5 a.m., awakening to the reality that our dream vacation had come to an end. Both of us were filled with bitter-sweet emotion as we prepared to disembark and make the long flight home. Still, our hearts were filled with thankfulness for the blessings we experienced throughout our travels in Alaska. We knew our first Christian cruise would never be forgotten.

As I mentioned earlier, this particular cruise aboard the ms Zaandam of the superior Holland America Line, was chartered by Templeton Tours exclusively for friends of In Touch Ministries, and hosted by Dr. Charles Stanley. If you are considering a Christian cruise, I hope this daily journal will provide you with an idea of what to expect along the journey of an Alaska Inside Passage Christian Cruise.

To gain a fuller understanding of the cruise experience, including a careful pros-and-cons evaluation from a Christian perspective, I invite you to read my full Alaska cruise review.
