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.

Cruise ship operating the cruise & departure dates
Travelled in November, 2015
We were on the final cruise of the year on a ship that would no longer be in the Celestyal lineup. It had been sold to China for conversion to a casino. There were many new crew members aboard and while they performed well our only complaint was we felt the food was not as good as we had experienced when the ship was operated by Louis Lines.
All the excursions were very well done with good guides. I would do the tour again, but hopefully there would be an improvement aboard a different ship.
