Join Donald Parry and Dave Hadlock on the ultimate Book of Mormon Cruise. Stops on this itinerary include Honduras, Belize and Mexico. This is a great time of year to cruise to the Caribbean with a great itinerary and will allow you to visit some of the most amazing ruins that can be seen from a cruise itinerary, including Lamanai, Chaccoben and Tulum. Dave and Don will help bring the scriptures to life as they teach onboard the ship and on site. Dave has been taking groups to Mesoamerica for many years. His presentations will give you insight not only into the Maya civilization, but they will also bring new light to the Book of Mormon and Old Testament. Great guides, great speakers and a great itinerary. Join us for beautiful weather, uplifting presentations, and a cruise to remember.

Norwegian Dawn: Norwegian Dawn debuted in 2002 as the third ship in the NCL fleet to be designed to accommodate its Freestyle Crusing concept. Dawn is an intriguing blend of the best features of a cruise experience and a land resort. There’s the excitement of a new port most every day (and the lovely relaxation of a couple of days at sea). And yet there’s a wonderful atmosphere of casual flexibility, emanating in a large part from the ship’s selection of some 10 restaurants. NCL’s freestyle dining works great with our groups allowing us to move around and meet different people every night.
