Bishop Larry Silva, who has led pilgrimages to canonizations in Rome and to the Holy Land, this year will lead an “Alaskan Cruise of Reflection and Renewal” with Hawaii’s deacons, Aug. 9-18. But you don’t have to be a deacon to sign up for the tour, which is being coordinated by Seawind Tours & Travel, the same Hawaii company that organized the bishop’s other pilgrimages.
The cruise, on the ship Celebrity Solstice, sets sail from Seattle up through the Alaska Inside Passage and includes stops and excursions in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Seawind Tours is advertising the cruise as a “highly customized” experience that will “revitalize your spirit, awaken your senses and rejuvenate your consciousness” with “unlimited opportunities to be pampered.”
Bishop Silva will celebrate a private Mass for the group daily.
The cost is $3,134, based on double occupancy, plus taxes and fees. It does not cover airfare.
