7-day Steps of Paul cruise
It is nearly 2000 years since Apostle Paul set out from the Holy Land on a journey that was to play a role of inestimable value in the dissemination of Christian ideas and the establishment of Christian communities.
This circular cruise from Athens is a rare opportunity for all those interested in the history of the Christian faith to relive parts of Apostle Paul's journey, and literally follow his path.
Celestyal Cruises has announced the further suspension of all its sailings for the year 2020. The prevailing uncertainty regarding travel restrictions coupled with the continuing discussions at the European Union level regarding the enhanced health protocols, led to this decision. Cruise operations will resume in the already announced 2021 season, commencing March 2021.
