2024 Mediterranean Study Cruise

Following Jesus’ instructions to be His witnesses “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8), the Apostles carried the message of the gospel into the regions of Asia Minor and Greece. Christians today belong to the legacy of God’s work in these lands, as those first disciples passed down the faith to future generations.

Set sail to the “cradle of Christianity” on our 2024 Mediterranean Study Cruise. Over eleven days, you and your fellow travelers will embark on a journey to key locations from the New Testament and early church history. You can explore the expansive Roman ruins of Ephesus, climb Mars Hill where Paul preached, and visit Istanbul, the transcontinental city that became the center of Christianity in the fourth century. All along the way, you’ll receive biblical teaching to bring home the significance of each site. Join Stephen Nichols and Derek Thomas on this unforgettable study cruise.

Wednesday, October 9, 2024

Corinth, greece.

OPTIONAL PRE-CRUISE TOUR:  CORINTH (pricing in April 2024):

Corinth is well known from the two letters that the Apostle Paul wrote to Christians in this city. The book of Acts also records Paul’s visit and ministry in this city during his second missionary journey. As you come to the site of ancient Corinth, you’ll get to explore the ruins of one of the largest and most important cities in the ancient Greco-Roman world. Extended excavations have brought to light the Roman forum, temples, fountains, porticoes, baths, and monuments.

Thursday, October 10, 2024

Athens, greece.

​ OPTIONAL PRE-CRUISE TOUR: ATHENS  (pricing in April 2024):

Long considered the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Athens and Corinth both were important destinations for the Apostle Paul. Experience this cultural hub where the gospel powerfully broke into the pagan world. You will take a scenic drive through Athens on a journey to the legendary Acropolis. Walking a winding pathway to the top of Mars Hill, you’ll come to the place where Paul preached to the Athenians in Acts 17. You will also explore the ancient agora, a gathering place where figures like Plato, Socrates, and Demosthenes debated.

Friday, October 11, 2024

Our ship departs from Athens. After dinner, we will enjoy a welcome reception.

Saturday, October 12, 2024

Mykonos, greece.

​ OPTIONAL LIGONIER CRUISE EXCURSION:

Excursion details are forthcoming.

Sunday, October 13, 2024

Santorini, greece.

On the island of Santorini, you’ll find a classic Greek seascape—whitewashed houses accented by sea-blue roofs. This is a treasure trove for both professional and amateur archeology buffs, with sites including tombs that date back to the ninth century as well as the sanctuary of Apollo. In one sense, Santorini could be considered an explosive place: its terraced homes and windmills lie on a caldera, an enormous basin formed by an erupting volcano.

7:00 a.m.                     Arrive in Santorini

10:00 p.m.                   Depart from Santorini

Istanbul, turkey.

Spend an enriching time in the exotic city of Istanbul. Formerly known as Constantinople after the Roman emperor Constantine, this city became the center of Christianity in 330 AD. Ancient church leaders convened here in 381 for the second ecumenical council, where the Nicene Creed was revised and expanded into the form we know today. Later, this city also housed the largest church of the ancient world, Hagia Sophia, or the church of Holy Wisdom, dedicated by Emperor Justinian in 536 AD.

7:00 a.m.          Arrive in Istanbul

Ephesus, turkey.

Once the capital of the Roman province of Asia Minor, this coastal town is now an archeologist’s dream. Although excavations have been underway for 150 years, only about 20 percent of the city has been uncovered so far. This former banking and trading center is rich with historic sites, such as the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You will also see the great theater described in Acts 19, where a riot erupted against the Christians for their rejection of idolatry.

8:00 a.m.          Arrive in Ephesus

4:00 p.m.          Depart from Ephesus

Saturday, October 19, 2024

​rhodes, greece.

Rhodes is considered by some to be the friendliest city in the Mediterranean. This sunny retreat is also home to many historic sites, such as the ruins of the Temple of Venus and the medieval Street of Knights. The varied landscape with beaches, woodlands, and ancient ruins also make this one of the most alluring locations in the Greek archipelago. Enter the gateways of Rhodes and step back to a time when the Knights Hospitaller built a medieval Christian stronghold here. You can spend the day amid the chronicles of Greek history, immersing yourself in the archaeological site of Lindos and climbing to the ruins of its ancient Acropolis for sweeping views of the village and the blue seas beyond.

10:00 a.m.          Arrive in ​Rhodes

About Ligonier Tours

One of the best ways you can learn about a person or even an event is being there—to be on site. We can certainly learn from reading and studying. We can even create the scene in our mind’s eye. But nothing brings a person or an event to life like being there. Ligonier Tours takes you to the places where significant events occurred, events that have shaped history. You can literally walk in the footsteps of our heroes of the past, of Luther, of Calvin, of Jonathan Edwards. You will meet these figures in ways you have never met them before.

Ligonier’s Teaching Fellows and other ministry leaders serve as your guides as you explore these important sites. On these tours, you’ll have time with these trusted teachers over a meal or at the sites along the journey. You will also have rich times of fellowship with your fellow travelers, meeting kindred spirits and making friendships.

Ligonier Tours brings the past to life, they serve to encourage us as disciples in our own day, and they offer us reminders that we are not alone, but that we are on our pilgrim journey together.

When you're not traversing the ancient streets or taking in the culture at one of the city's museums, you can stop for local cuisine and shop for souvenirs from native artisans.

See Mykonos, Corfu & Crete

If you've heard of the Greek Isles before, you're likely already familiar with the spectacular city of Mykonos . This port of call is a vacationer's paradise, with stretches of soft, sandy beaches where you can recline in the Mediterranean sun. You'll even find dance clubs and bars on some of the beaches, so you can stay out on the coast all night long. There are also opportunities for off-road excursions that take you into the countryside and near some of Greece's most impactful sights, including ancient ruins and historical roads.

Lush green tree canopies and vibrant blue waters await you in the port of Corfu . You can feel the influence of ancient Venetians throughout the city, with ornate facades, marble statues, and looming columns that make you feel like you're in Rome. Fans of Greek mythology will be especially excited by Corfu's ties to Greek history and folklore, as the city is rumored to be the very Island of Scheria from Homer's Odyssey.

For a taste of life on the largest Greek island, you can visit the port of Heraklion (Crete) . You'll be greeted by quaint stone beaches with gorgeous views of the sea, as well as ruins from ancient times throughout the city. With architecture from the 13th century, you can see marvels such as Venetian-style buildings and the Minoan palace of Knossos, famed for its housing of the Minotaur in Greek mythology.

Explore Turkey on a Greek Isles Cruise

You'll see more than Greece on a Greek Isles cruise with Norwegian, as many voyages stop in Turkey, another of the region's most historically rich areas. In the port of Kusadasi , for example, you can walk the same streets as ancient Greek residents once did and visit several ruins and excavation sites from archeological digs. Other can't-miss sites in Kusadasi include the ruins of the Roman Library of Celsus, the Basilica of St. John, and the rebuilt Temple of Artemis.

Another popular stop for cruisers in Turkey is Istanbul , a wonderland of fashion, culture, and art. Here, you can take in all the rich history of Turkey by visiting ancient monuments and mosques with intricate facades, such as the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. With tulips being a symbol of the city, it's no surprise that you'll find gorgeous tulip blooms in the city's many gardens.

See the Pyramids in Egypt

Just a short sail away from Greece is Egypt, which is home to several ports that you can visit with Norwegian. One of the most exciting ports in Egypt is Alexandria , as it has an incredibly significant history, having been founded in 332 B.C. There are countless historical sights to see, including ancient ruins, ornate tombs, and what's left of the Great Library of Alexandria. You can even brave the Catacombs of Kom al-Shoqafa that run underneath the city's streets if you're looking for an adventure.

You'll also get the chance to visit Port Said on some Greek Isles cruises, a colorful city that was founded in 1859. Right along the Suez Canal, this city gives you the chance to see some of Egypt's most famous historical landmarks after a short drive, such as the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the oldest member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

If you're in the mood for a walking tour, you can take one all around Cairo and learn even more about Egypt's history. There's also the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, where you can shop for souvenirs, such as gemstones, leather goods, and spices.
