"Staples, Akin and Trigilio -- Oh My!"

JOIN TIM STAPLES, JIMMY AKIN,
AND FR. JOHN TRIGILIO
ON THE CATHOLIC ANSWERS
ALASKA APOLOGETICS CRUISE!

Dear Future Cruiser:

You've heard them on Catholic Answers Live, have read their books, and maybe even have seen them at your parish.

Now you can spend 8 days learning from them--and from other great apologists--on the Catholic Answers Alaska Apologetics Cruise.

Tim Staples, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. John Trigilio are among the most vibrant Catholic speakers in the country. They will be joined by Catholic Answers staff apologist Jim Blackburn and by popular blogger and author Mark Shea.

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.

A SPECTACULAR CRUISE WITH SPECTACULAR APOLOGISTS

Now let me tell you about the cruise itself.

The dates are June 8-15, 2008. 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. (In my opinion, of all the cruises that sail from American ports, the one to Alaska takes the prize for beauty.)
 
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 just what particular Catholic beliefs mean?

Do you wish you had the right answer when someone asks you about our faith?

Do you want to help family members and friends who have doubts about their religion?

If so, this cruise is just right for you (and for them!).

IT'S ALSO JUST RIGHT FOR SCRIMPERS, FAMILIES, AND SINGLE TRAVELERS

This is our most affordable cruise and the easiest to get to for most Americans.

Its cost and its fine mix of shore excursions make it particularly suitable for families--there truly is something for everyone--and it is just right for those who travel on their own.

(If you wish to shave expenses by sharing a stateroom with a compatible roommate, we can arrange that for you.)

WHY SAIL WITH CATHOLIC ANSWERS?

A Catholic Answers cruise is much more than just getting from here to there on a fine ship.

1. On our Alaska Apologetics Cruise you will sail with convivial people who share your beliefs.

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

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

4. You will learn how to explain Catholic beliefs to others.

5. You will 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 will 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.
