ETS Tours has announced the launch of its 2026 Bible Land Cruises and Bible Land Journeys, which will take travellers on faith-based immersive itineraries in destinations like Israel, Greece, Italy, Türkiye, and Egypt. 

The themed tour packages explore the spiritual legacy of the Apostle Paul and the lands of the Bible, through curated cruise and tour experiences. Upcoming itineraries include the 11-night Paul’s Journeys Cruise on Celebrity Infinity; the nine-night Voyages of Paul Cruise on Azamara Quest; and the 10-night Passages of the Bible on Norwegian Viva.

ETS Tours is a leader in faith-based travel. The family-owned tour operator has 16 cruise and land departures planned for 2026, and each tour includes on-site teachings, pastoral leadership, and exclusive guest speakers. 

“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.

The tour operator is inviting travel advisors to explore faith-based bookings as a unique opportunity to grow their business; the travel segment represents an estimated $50 billion in the market. 

“The fellowship, trust, and repeat business generated through faith-based travel is unmatched in any other segment,” added Welch. 

ETS offers a suite of resources for travel advisors, such as online training and a webinar library. 

“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!” said Welch. 

To further empower travel advisors, ETS is also launching a weekly interactive podcast focused on faith-based travel. Each episode will include information about the segment such as trends and industry insights, with special guests like travel advisors, tour hosts, and pastors.    

“With the demand for meaningful group travel continually growing, now is the perfect time for advisors to tap into this vibrant and rewarding market,” said Welch.
