The Second Annual Girl's Get-A-Way Cruise

Now is the time, girls! On your mark, get set, call.

The cabins for the Girl’s Get-A-Way Cruise are on sale NOW! With the inaugural girls’-only cruise last year, we barely dipped our toes into all the possibilities. This year, we’ve reserved an entire Carnival Cruise luxury liner, added more days to the adventure, discovered more exotic island stopovers and lined up even more great speakers, artists and authors.

The 2nd Annual Girl’s Get-A-Way Cruise will sail Thursday, Nov. 9th through Monday, Nov. 13th. Embarking from Jacksonville, Florida, the cruise will visit two ports of call – Freeport and Nassau, Bahamas, on this extended weekend retreat.

K-LOVE's Friends & Family Music Cruise 2006

More than an incredible adventure!

The 2,600 friends and family who joined us on the K-LOVE Friends & Family Music Cruise last month can’t stop talking about it. Sailing from Long Beach, Calif., and swinging around Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico, we found everything we were searching for – inspiring music and delicious meals, relaxation and rejuvenation, and a great time with great people.

Here are a few of the testimonials from guests about this cruise that they won’t soon forget:

“Thank you Premier & K-LOVE for giving us the vacation of a lifetime. We felt so blessed to be a part of this cruise! Great fellowship and worship time!”
-- Brian & Lynda from Seguin, TX

“This was my first cruise and it was awesome! It was a wonderful experience to see God at work. Bless all of you who made it possible. I loved it.!”
-- Vanessa from Springfield, OR

“I brought my daughter for her 16th birthday. We had such a great time of worship and time together that she wants to make it an annual trip.”
-- Cheri from Taylors Falk, MN

Concert of the Month

“Indescribable Tour” with Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Louie Giglio!

From last year’s Dove Awards and a nationwide tour with Steven Curtis Chapman and Casting Crowns, to last month’s cover article on CCM (Contemporary Christian Music magazine) and the capacity-crowd recording of his latest album, “Live from Austin Music Hall,” the accolades are not for Chris Tomlin. HIS name and HIS renown are the goal of this God-honoring artist and band.
