When we set out on our first cruise a few years ago, I really didn’t know what to expect. But after a week of the most beautiful scenery and rich interaction with friends like you— cruising became a “Smith-Family Tradition."

Debbie and I could not have anticipated the depth of ministry and refreshment that comes from spending time in a beautiful setting with fellow Believers. To be challenged by great teaching, to be entertained by incredible artists and to be refreshed by each other’s company all make for an amazing week.

From something as silly and fun as Smitty-oke (your chance to sing on stage with me and my band); to something as meaningful as our morning devotions; each cruise has been different, but the laughs and the tears we share together have made for memories we will never forget.

Our biggest challenge for 2012 was to come up with a “new and exciting” destination —and we have found it! We couldn’t be more excited about the itinerary we have set. The beauty and old-world feel of Quebec and Montreal; the breathtaking scenery of the St. Lawrence River and Halifax; and the charm and history of Maine and Boston—will all combine for an amazing week together.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Smitty “and Friends” Cruise without some of my very special “Friends." We'll all enjoy incredible concert performances from Jeremy Camp and Francesca Battistelli. And what a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be on a beautiful ship at sea hearing from my good friend Sean Hannity. It really is going to be an amazing week!

So – I hope you will join me, Debbie and our family on what, I believe, will be one of the most spectacular weeks you can imagine. It’s going to be a week of nightly concerts, amazing teaching, fun and ultimately great spiritual growth.

We look forward to seeing you on the ship! God Bless....
