Setting sail July 6, 2014 from Seattle, Washington, the cruise will stop off at Juneau, Alaska; Sitka, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; and Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Activities on the ship will be based around daily devotionals, Bible studies, and music.
"These cruises have been among the highlights of my career," says Smith in a press release. "The friendships that we have formed and strengthened by these trips are a treasure to my family and my whole team. From the special onboard concerts to powerful devotions and some pretty hilarious moments: the week affords us all a chance to unwind while connecting with friends and family in a deeper way. We go into these cruises with great expectations - and God always exceeds our biggest hopes. If there is one part of cruising that I enjoy more than any other it's listening to the personal stories of spiritual walks being strengthened, friendships being formed and relationships being restored."
Tickets for the cruise are now available at www.michaelwsmith.com
