Donna and I are excited about the opportunity to host a refreshing and relaxing cruise to Alaska. We will see first-hand many of the wonderful splendors of God’s creation. We will spend seven nights aboard the beautiful ms Oosterdam. Our ports of call will be exciting, but just sitting on deck watching the beauty of God’s handiwork will create never-to-be forgotten memories. Each day we will share a special time of Bible study. There will also be a time of praise and worship and time with our special guests, Steve Amerson and Ian Oakley. You’ll also delight in the dramatic presentations from the characters you see on Turning Point television, including the hilarious couple, Gus and Gladys Glum. We are also pleased to welcome ventriloquist David Pendleton to our line up for this cruise. We will have our own private meeting room as well as a special section in the dining room. We’ll forge friendships that will last forever and grow our roots in God’s Word even deeper. Donna and I would consider it a privilege to be your host and hostess for this exciting Turning Point cruise and would certainly enjoy sharing these seven exciting days at sea with you. Sincerely, David Jeremiah |

Departing from Seattle, WA • August 2, 2008 Day at Sea (August 3) Juneau (August 4, 11:00 a.m.–9:30 p.m.)–Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, bike, hike, heli-hike, flightsee, or fish. There’s no end to the adventure because we’re in port long enough to truly take advantage of the long daylight hours. Cruising Hubbard Glacier ( August 5, 1:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.) –North America’s largest glacier, this Ice Age titan measures 5 miles in width and a staggering 40 stories in height where it meets saltwater at Disenchantment Bay. As you glide along this surreal blue marvel, watch for seals basking on ice floes, listen for the loud deep rumble and mighty crack of calving icebergs and take in the dazzling St. Elias Mountain Range, a 150-mile-long chain of snowcapped peaks piercing the horizon. A Park Ranger and a Tlingit Native speaker will join the ship for the glacier viewing. Sitka (August 6, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.)–Sitka is blessed with abundant marine wildife. Get out on the water aboard a dayboat or kayak, and you’ll pass seal haul-outs and seabird rookeries filled with nature’s sights and sounds. Ketchikan (August 7, 7:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.)–Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows. Visit Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park, and the Saxman Village. There are numerous galleries exhibiting Native art and works by talented local artisans. A floatplane flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument is a transforming adventure not to be missed. Victoria, B.C., Canada (August 8, 6:00 p.m.–Midnight)–Stroll through the charming downtown of this very British city, with its double-decker buses, turreted castles, fine British woolens, tea, and china. Or just outside the city, visit the lush flora and fauna of Butchart Gardens. Concluding in Seattle, WA • August 9, 2008 |
