Louis Cruises will give religious-pilgrimage tourism a boost this fall through two weekly religious-themed cruises that will contain visits to Greek sacred monuments.

During a recent meeting with the president of the Synod office of pilgrimage tours His Emminence Bishop of Dodoni Chrysostomos, the CEO of Louis Cruises, Kiriakos Anastassiadis, informed that the cruise company would hold two weekly pilgrimage voyages entitled “The Path of Apostle Paul” on 18 and 25 October 2013.

The pilgrimage voyages follows the religious path along which Saint Paul journeyed during his preaching of Christianity. Following in the footsteps of the Apostle, the company’s special 7-day cruise brings passengers closer to the lands visited by the “Apostle of the Nations” in Greece and Turkey.
