Alaska Signups on Schedule

SIGN-UPS FOR OUR
ALASKA APOLOGETICS CRUISE
ARE COMING IN RIGHT ON SCHEDULE

But we haven't heard from you yet!

How come?

I hope you haven't overlooked my previous e-mails--or our advertisements in This Rock and on Catholic Answers Live.

But no matter. Just read on!

HERE ARE THE FACTS, IN BRIEF

I hope you can join us on this wonderful event, during which you will learn your faith from five of the country's top Catholic apologists, including:

Tim Staples

Jimmy Akin
Fr. John Trigilio
Jim Blackburn
Mark Shea

You've heard them on Catholic Answers Live. You've read their books. Maybe you even have seen them at your parish.

Now you can spend 8 days (June 8-15) learning from them on the Catholic Answers Alaska Apologetics Cruise.

Not only will you hear great talks by these five, but you'll have plenty of opportunity to speak with them one-on-one, both on board the ship and on shore.

You'll have all of your questions answered, and you'll become friends with some of today's top Catholic personalities.

(To go straight to our special web site about this and our other cruises, please visit http://www.catholicanswerscruise.com now.)

PREFERRED STATEROOMS ARE BEING SNAPPED UP FAST

We are now just over 12 weeks out from this year's cruise, and we have signed up the same number of folks that we signed up when we were 12 weeks out from our last Alaska cruise, in 2003.

This means we can expect to have the same number of convivial and interesting people that we had last time--maybe even more. It will be a great group for you to be part of!

You will depart Seattle on the finely-appointed ms Westerdam of the Holland America Line.

The ship will visit Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan in Alaska and Victoria in British Columbia before returning to Seattle.

While on board you'll have a chance to have all of your apologetical questions answered, and you also will enjoy some of the most impressive scenery in America.

WANT TO KNOW YOUR FAITH BETTER? THIS IS YOUR CRUISE!

Our Alaska Apologetics Cruise is ideal for anyone who wants to learn the Catholic faith more deeply or who wants to learn how to share the faith with others.

Do you sometimes wonder what particular Catholic beliefs mean?

Would you like to have certain verses of the Bible clarified?

Do you wish you had the right answers when someone asks you about your faith?

Are there family members and friends who have doubts about their religion--and who could use some friendly counsel from you?

If so, this cruise is just right for you--and for them!

WHY SAIL WITH CATHOLIC ANSWERS?

Our Alaska Apologetics Cruise is unlike any other you could take to that beautiful part of America.

1. When you sail with us, you sail with convivial people who share your beliefs.

2. You build your spiritual life through daily Mass. (We also offer daily confession.)

3. You learn so much about Catholic teachings that your faith will be deepened immeasurably.

4. You see how to explain Catholic beliefs to others.

5. You have all of your own questions answered--plus all the questions put to you by your family and friends, whether Catholics or non-Catholics. 

6. You learn from personable speakers who are experts in apologetics and who, like you, love and live their Catholic faith wholeheartedly.

What's more, you will get something other cruises don't offer: as much time as you need with the speakers.

Unlike what happens on some other cruises, our speakers will not just give their talks--and then disappear. That's not the way we operate.  

Our speakers are available to our guests all day long. You will have a chance to talk with them individually and at length, both on board the ship and during on-shore excursions.

(We make this a condition when inviting speakers: They don't join us unless they agree to spend lots of "off-dais time" with our guests.)

Since the Alaska Apologetics Cruise is coming up soon, I urge you to sign up promptly, so you can reserve the stateroom of your choice.

As I said, we're only 12 weeks out, and preferred staterooms are being snapped up fast. Don't delay!

We look forward to seeing you on the promenade deck!

Best wishes in Christ,

Karl Keating
President, Catholic Answers
