“Fernweh” As travel enthusiasts, one of our favorite words comes from the German language: “fernweh.” It’s sometimes translated as “wanderlust,” but our German friends tell us that’s not exactly accurate.

A better translation is to consider fernweh an antonym for homesickness. It literally means “far-sickness.” Fernweh is more than wanderlust. It’s an aching to be out in the world, a longing for new places, a spiritual desire to feast your eyes on glorious vistas.

we have become intimately acquainted with “far-sickness.”

We know you have, too.

Our recent travel survey indicated that 82% of our travelers are dreaming and ready to travel again, and we are with you. We are positive that travel is on the horizon for 2021 and 2022, and we hope you will join us.

Christian Travel:

A Gateway to Spiritual Connection Sometimes a change of pace and scenery is all it takes to restore the soul. After all, with Inspiration Cruises & Tours, your journey becomes a gateway to spiritual connection. A trip away from home creates space to encounter the Lord in fresh, new ways.

GET AWAY WITH GOD I will never leave you nor forsake you.

As a believer, no companion compares to the constant, steadfast presence of God. It’s impossible to travel beyond His reach. And more than anything, the profound experience of connecting to Christ in a foreign place is what our travelers are most thankful for following their cruise or tour.

Even if you are traveling solo, you’ll have so many opportunities to connect with people around you. While you may begin the trip as a solo traveler, you definitely won’t finish it that way!

Join us for your next getaway with God! The best encounters with God happen when we can set aside our everyday anxieties or distractions and enjoy new experiences and places.

Where will you go?

TRAVELING WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD When you travel with Inspiration, you’ll also be going with a group of like-minded people. The connections you make over nightly dinner conversations, daytime excursions or even while waiting for an event to begin will become some of the highlights of your trip and may even blossom into lifelong friendships.
