Description: Bayside Church Footsteps of Paul Trip 2023

Welcome to our registration site. We are so excited to spend 11 days with you as we journey across the Mediterranean following the footsteps of the Apostle Paul with Pastors Ray Johnston, Mark Clark and other Bayside pastors and friends. 

This year we have divided our trip into two potions: a Land Tour and a Cruise.

For the Land Tour, we have joined with Maranatha Tours to experience Athens and Corinth over 3 days, October 26th – Oct 28th. We will stay at the 5-Star Intercontinental Athens Hotel. Two breakfasts and two dinners are included, as well as airport transfer to the hotel, and transportation to the cruise ship. Together, we will tour Athens, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the ancient city of Corinth.

For the Cruise, we will board the brand-new Norwegian Cruise Line ship Viva to visit 9 ports: Santorini, Kusadasi (the ancient city of Ephesus), Istanbul Turkey, Mykonos, Olympia, Messina Italy, Naples (or Pompeii) Italy, Florence (or Pisa) Italy, and finally Rome. A Beverage Package (alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages) is included in the cruise price, along with all meals, a $50 credit towards cruise excursions, 150 minutes of internet access per person, and a specialty dinner at your choice of 7 restaurants.

We will have morning Bible Studies most days, worship/ teaching on select days, and meet-ups in the evenings to mingle with your Bayside friends and pastors.

REGISTRATION

Since we are working with 2 separate companies for each portion of the trip you will need to register for both tours separately. Both are REQUIRED in order to go on the trip. Details below.

To register for this 11-day land and cruise trip, you must reserve your spot in TWO places: FIRST register here with a $500 deposit for the Athens Land Tour with Maranatha. Then, second, we will send you a link to register with Four Points Travel for the Cruise. Air travel is not included or provided for this trip.

We hope you will join us on this fun and amazing trip!
