ETS Tours Launches 2026 Bible Land Cruises and Bible Land Journeys

Family-Owned Leader in Faith-Based Travel Invites Travel Advisors to Tap into the Growing Market with Trusted Programs Across Israel, Greece, Italy, Türkiye, and More

 

LAKELAND, FL – (April 14, 2025) – ETS Tours, the trusted leader in faith-based travel for nearly 50 years, proudly announces the launch of its 2026 Bible Land Cruises and Bible Land Journeys, offering travelers a chance to explore the spiritual legacy of the Apostle Paul and the lands of the Bible through expertly curated cruise and tour experiences. Designed to foster connection, fellowship, and spiritual growth, these immersive itineraries provide travel advisors and group planners with a unique opportunity to grow their business and serve the booming faith-based travel segment.

 

With 16 unforgettable cruise & land departures planned throughout 2026, ETS Tours will take thousands of guests on deeply meaningful voyages through sacred landscapes that shaped the foundations of Christianity. From the vibrant streets of Athens and Corinth to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, travelers will walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and experience the Bible like never before – all with the comfort of only unpacking once afforded by cruise travel.

 

“Our Bible Land Cruises are the most convenient and enriching way for guests to explore biblical locations across multiple countries,” said David Welch, Vice President of Business Development of ETS Tours. “Each sailing is designed to be spiritually transformative – with expert guides, powerful guest speakers, and awe-inspiring destinations that make New Testament stories come alive. These are journeys of faith, fellowship, and unforgettable discovery. Plus, on ETS cruise programs, we tailor the shore excursions to the group’s requests – something advisors cannot do on their own by booking cruises direct. It’s a huge value-add!”

 

From Journeys of Paul itineraries across Greece and Türkiye to expansive Bible Land Journeys combining Israel, Italy, and the Mediterranean, ETS offers something for every faith-focused traveler. Each tour includes meaningful on-site teachings, expert pastoral leadership, and exclusive guest speakers who bring added insight and inspiration to the journey.
