Why join a service cruise?
When Travel Meets Purpose
A Service Cruise is more than just a vacation—it’s an opportunity to serve others while exploring the world.
We combine the joy of cruising with intentional outreach and giving back in the ports we visit through meaningful, family-friendly service projects.
This will be our 13th service-focused cruise, and every time, it’s the moments of impact—praying with locals, sharing meals with those in need, and encouraging others—that our travelers remember most.
Full Cruise Experience
Enjoy everything the ship has to offer, from great food to entertainment and relaxation, all included so you can relax and enjoy a fully planned-for-you experience.
Faith & Fellowship
Gather with fellow believers for coordinated gatherings, Bible Studies, and service-focused excursions that pair exploration with hands-on projects, plus the ability to enjoy beaches, ruins, and local culture when you want to.
Travel with Purpose
This is not your typical mission trip. It's an invitation to love our neighbors everywhere we go. Meet and serve alongside likeminded families and individuals. Every service opportunity is designed for all ages.
