tahiti cruise - Insight for Living Canada
JOIN CHUCK SWINDOLL & INSIGHT FOR LIVING MINISTRIES FOR A TAHITI CRUISE JULY 29 – AUGUST 5, 2016 JOIN ME AS WE SAIL THROUGH GOD’S GLORIOUS SOUTH PACIFIC! JOIN ME IN TAHITI! Dear Friends, Special guests include: STEVE GREEN VO CALIST DICK TUNNEY P I ANIST REG GRANT D RAM ATIST Sunlight reflects across pristine, crystal-clear waters. White, coral-sand beaches stretch along the shoreline of secluded South Seas islands. Beautiful sunsets frame a spray of ocean breaking onto colorful reefs. Peaceful lagoons with emerald waters provide the perfect place to take it all in. Sounds like a postcard, doesn’t it? It’s even better than that. We can go there together. Cynthia and I want to extend a personal invitation for you to sail with us among the beautiful islands of French Polynesia, July 29–August 5, 2016. While on this memorable journey, I will be teaching several times from God’s Word, adding biblical insights to the beauty of our South Seas surroundings. On this incredible journey, we’ll have just 146 guests aboard an elegant, four-masted yacht, the Wind Star— voted the world’s number one small-ship cruise line. Its intimate size and thoughtful amenities make this ship an ideal vessel for us to get better acquainted. Together, we’ll visit places as beautiful as their exotic names sound: Tahiti, Moorea and Tahaa . . . just to name a few. Try to imagine our luau dinner on the beach at Bora Bora! To enhance our voyage, I’ve invited some greatly gifted artists. For music, we’ll have the pleasure of hearing Steve Green and Dick Tunney known far and wide for their amazing gifts. We also look forward to professor and accomplished actor Reg Grant’s unique dramatizations in costume that will bring scriptural characters to life before our eyes. What a grand opportunity for each of us to draw closer to our Lord Jesus and to one another during this unforgettable journey! Cynthia and I truly look forward to some very personal time with friends like you, as all of us become traveling companions in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Please—come with us! Anticipating a trip of a lifetime with you, PAUL SAILHAMER P RO G RAM HOST 8-DAY CRUISE ITINERARY DEPARTING FROM PAPEETE, TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA • FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2016 EMBARK ATION: 1:00 P.M. – 10:00 P.M. DEPART: 11:59 P.M. MOOREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA | SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2016, 6:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M. Heart-shaped and punctuated by towering peaks, the island of Moorea has long been a favorite destination of travelers and honeymooners in French Polynesia. It’s more romantic, more remote and perhaps more peaceful than neighboring Tahiti, which is one reason this is the island Tahitians visit on their own vacations. Once described by Arthur Frommer as the world’s most beautiful island, Moorea is surrounded by a shallow lagoon, home to a number of resorts known for their exotic overwater bungalows. TAHAA, FRENCH POLYNESIA | SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2016, 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. Considered a sister island to the larger Raiatea, Tahaa is enclosed by the same coral reef that encompasses its companion—giving both islands a reputation for world-class diving, windsurfing and sportfishing. The majority of Tahiti’s vanilla production takes place on this flower-shaped island and the wonderful fragrance permeates its lush shores. Tours of local vanilla plantations are popular with cruise guests. RAIATEA, FRENCH POLYNESIA | SUNDAY, JULY 31, 10:00 P.M. – MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 10:00 P.M. Though the largest of French Polynesia’s Leeward Islands, Raiatea is also one of the quietest and least urban cruise ports in the South Pacific. While a place of untamed beauty and stunning reef-bordered lagoons, its local reputation is more religious than scenic: locals know Raiatea as “the sacred island,” and its pre-Christian religious traditions viewed it as the birthplace of the human race. Don’t miss its many architectural sites, outdoor temples and historical tours. BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA | TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 8:00 A.M. – WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 9:00 P.M. There’s a reason Bora Bora has long been one of the most popular destinations in the South Pacific. This small island of 4,600 inhabitants first gained western attention when the U.S. used it as a military base during World War II. Since then, its gorgeous beaches, stunning volcanic topography and turquoise lagoons have earned it a reputation as a vacationer’s paradise—and brought decades of honeymooners and paradise-seekers to its overwater bungalows. HUAHINE, FRENCH POLYNESIA | THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2016, 7:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M. This isolated island is known for its history and slow pace of life. Home to ancient coral and stone temples and less than 5,000 residents, Huahine is actually two small islands separated by the spectacular Maroe Bay—all of it surrounded by a coral reef. Its mountains are covered in banana trees and wild hibiscus. Its beaches are feathered with soft, white sand. And the atmosphere of its quaint villages, day in and day out, is one of peace, relaxation and friendship. CONCLUDING IN PAPEETE, TAHITI FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2016 DEBARK ATION: 10:00 A.M. Bora Bora Tahaa Huahine Raiatea SOUTH PACIFIC SOCIETY ISLANDS Moorea Papeete TAHITI All dates and locations subject to change. KNOWN EXPERIENCES Luau Dinner Experience in Bora Bora The first Hawaiians migrated from Polynesia, and their cultures have been tied together ever since. Relax under the palm trees and South Pacific stars during this intimate, exclusive Hawaiian luau dinner. In this once-in-a-lifetime beachside setting, you’ll fellowship with other like-minded believers and Insight for Living Ministries supporters. Steve Green Evening Concert on the Deck of the Ship As the ship leaves Raiatea, you’ll see the steep cliffs striated in shades of white, light green, pink, black and brown. As you enjoy a vista that is unequaled in the region, you’ll hear the beautiful music of Steve Green from the ship’s deck as we sail through the beautiful French Polynesian Islands. Bible Heroes Brought to Life – Reg Grant Dramatizations The lives of beloved Bible characters like Jonah, the Apostle John, Peter and Paul are familiar to most believers. But you’ll never think about them the same way again after theologian and dramatist Reg Grant brings them to life in his entertaining and thoughtprovoking monologues.
