Over the past ten years, the KT & Friends Cruise has delighted thousands of wonderful people with joy, rest, inspiration and some of the very best Christian concerts ever presented at sea. Your glowing comments have truly blessed me.

The 2009 cruise is packed with all the wonderful features that past cruisers have come to expect PLUS an added feature of “laugh til it hurts” humor. Along with our amazing musical guest Avalon, I am thrilled to present the side-splitting hilarity of Mark Lowry and Chonda Pierce. Even the devotions will have you chuckling as you are challenged and warmed by teacher/author Ellie Lofaro. Add the blessing of Mark Harris’ beautiful, heartfelt songs and what could possibly be a better vacation?

So pack your bags, your cares and your sunblock. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience and I’d love to see you there.

Be where you belong.

Love,
