For Christians who want more from a vacation, Christian cruises can be a good choice.
These cruises combine the fun and relaxation of ordinary cruises with an attitude of Christian fellowship.
Yet, they are not all the same; it takes some research to know if you are getting the cruise you want.
Will all the passengers be a part of the Christian cruise? Sometimes, the cruise will be an ordinary cruise where you are one of a group of Christians on board.
There will be accommodations for you to eat together and possibly to have cabins adjacent to each other.
There will be activities such as Bible studies, seminars, and gospel singing for you to enjoy.
However, the cruises that are chartered solely for the use of Christians are much different.
On these cruises, the whole ship is set up with the needs of the Christians in mind.
The bars, theaters, and casinos will be set up for Christian uses.
The bars will serve a variety of non-alcoholic drinks.
There will be no smoking areas in public places.
The theater will only show Christian theater shows.
Only Christian comedians will take to the smaller stages, instead of the usual worldly comedians.
The singers and musical groups are gospel-based.
In fact, all the entertainment revolves around Christianity.
What Christian activities are available on the cruise? Some cruises are centered on a theme, such as a bible study cruise.
Some are more focused on who will be on the cruise, such as a particular speaker or lecturer.
Many times, you will have the opportunity to hear a series of lecturers on one cruise.
It is good to know the preachers who will be speaking and to find out something about them before you commit to a cruise.
There will probably be a Christian bookstore of some kind set up where you can buy Bibles, books written about the Christian faith, or souvenirs with a Christian twist.
There should also be times for the group to get together for fellowship on the ship.
Especially if it is not a chartered ship, you will need these times to get to know your fellow Christian passengers better.
The cruise should include the Christian activities of Bible study, gospel singing or praise singing, and prayer services.
Beyond that, it should have chances for you to have wholesome fun with the other Christians on board.
After all, that is part of what going on one of these cruises is all about.
Christian cruises can be unforgettable experiences.
You would feel cheated if you could only remember it with disappointment.
However, if you take the time to research the cruise you are going on, you will be looking back on your cruise with pleasure.
