Join this exceptional Christian Cruise to Alaska with The Collingsworth Family
A Note From The Collingsworth Family
Dear Friends,
You are invited to join us on an exciting family cruise aboard the Inspiration Encounter Alaska Cruise!
From the moment God spoke to us about the cruise, He made one thing clear—our time at sea will be a time of worship, encouragement and praise, in the name of Jesus. This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the pressures of life and intentionally focus on the goodness of God.
It’s time to put this cruise on your calendar! The jaw-dropping views of Alaska provide the perfect scenery to relax, rejoice, and reconnect with God and like-minded believers.
Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, pure and lovely; whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things.” During our week together, we plan to do just that. We will sing of the goodness of God and tell of His faithfulness to all generations. In a world where nothing seems to be certain, we will give praise and glory to our God who never changes.
Along with a week of endless opportunities for praise and worship, we'll take in the breathtaking sites of Sitka, Juneau, Glacier Bay and so much more. We'll gasp in awe as we watch stunning wildlife and towering glaciers up close from the comfort of our luxurious ship. We'll savor local cuisine and explore hand-crafted wares from artists native to Alaska.
It is our prayer that you will be encouraged, uplifted, renewed and inspired as we worship God together. He promises to inhabit our praises. He will come and dwell with us and when He does, it will truly be an Inspiration Encounter we will never forget.
So settle in, take a deep breath of the fresh Alaskan air, and get ready to worship.

Contacting your cell phone carrier before your trip will help ensure you can call friends and family back home and eliminate any surprises on your phone bill when you return. Let your phone carrier know your travel plans including how you plan to use your phone on your cruise. You’ll want to make sure you understand all the potential charges. Contact your carrier for specific information.
Check with Your Carrier for International Dialing Access
You will want to ensure international and cruise package dialing is active on your mobile phone plan so you can use it in Canadian ports. Remember that international and maritime roaming rates will apply to calls placed on the ship and charges will appear on your phone bill. Because roaming rates can be high on cruises, checking with your carrier for specific cost details before you leave is a good idea.
Aboard Your Flight and Cruise
Your cell phone’s battery life is the key to keeping you connected. Below are some tips for staying powered up on your trip:
- Remember to set your phone to airplane mode when you board your flight. You can also do this aboard the cruise when sailing to avoid roaming charges unless you have purchased the cruise ship package with your carrier. This suspends all calling and texting functions but allows you to play games, use your camera, listen to music, etc.
- On the cruise, you’ll want to charge your phone every night to ensure enough battery life for the next day.
- Try to turn off your phone when you’re not using it. Leaving your phone on all day drains the battery, so it’s a good idea to turn it off while you’re attending a shore excursion, dining or reading.
Time
To ensure your phone clock is always set at the correct time, set your time and date settings to manual and choose the departure port city. You will want to do this before setting sail. The cruise director will let all passengers know when the time changes during the cruise; at that point, you will need to select the next port city to change the time. If you leave the time and date on the automatic setting, you will notice the time will change randomly, which might not align with the time aboard your ship.
Smartphone Tips
As one of the most popular communication devices today, smartphones have revolutionized how we connect with the world. We know leaving your smartphone behind for an hour, much less multiple days, is difficult. The following tips will help you save your phone’s battery life and get the most out of your smartphone while on the cruise:
- Before your cruise, disable any applications that give you regular updates, such as sports reports and weather updates.
- Disable the Data Enabled or Data Roaming option on your phone and keep it off until you reach your destination.
- Turn off the function for automatic email checking and change the email settings to manual to reduce data roaming charges. During your trip, you can check for email messages when connected to a free, wireless internet connection, such as in a hotel lobby or internet cafe while in port.
In-Room Phones and Phone Cards
If you choose not to bring your mobile phone, you can stay in touch with others using your hotel’s in-room phone. Be sure to understand all the associated charges before you place a call, as the rates can be expensive.
You may also wish to purchase a phone card or download a free messaging app, such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, to stay in touch with friends and family. When purchasing a phone card, make sure the card specifically indicates that calls can be made from an international location. If unspecified, international phone cards only enable you to call international locations from your home country.

Because shore excursions have limited capacity and fill up quickly, we recommend booking early for the best selection on your cruise. Once you’ve booked your Inspiration cruise, check out the customized cruise line excursion list based on your itinerary. Using your cruise booking number on your invoice under passenger details, you can easily book shore excursions online as early as six months before your trip and up to three days before departure, depending on the cruise line.
Visit the cruise line’s website to find information and book shore excursions:
You may also register for your shore excursions once onboard the ship. All shore excursion requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Waitlisted requests for sold-out shore excursions will be processed before requests are made onboard.
For more information please call one of our Reservation Coordinators at 800 247 1899, Monday through Friday between 8:30am – 5:00pm, Pacific Time.
Transfers
We want to help make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We can book motorcoach transfers from the airport to your cruise departure port and on your return trip.
Hotel Stays
Remember that you always have the option of arriving earlier or staying later. Hotel reservations may be available if you want to arrive a few days early before boarding your cruise or stay a few days after the cruise returns.
For more information please call one of our Reservation Coordinators at 800 247 1899, Monday through Friday between 8:30am – 5:00pm, Pacific Time.
As you plan for your upcoming Christian cruise with Inspiration, you may wonder about using money and credit cards during your travels. We’ve made the following recommendations to help you save money and avoid unnecessary fees so you can focus on an exceptional travel experience.
- Consider leaving all unnecessary credit cards at home.
- Once you determine which cards you’ll bring, remember to notify each credit card company of your intended travel dates and locations to ensure fraud alerts and holds are not placed on your accounts.
- For each card, you should store the bank’s contact information in a separate, secure location in the unlikely event your wallet or purse is lost or stolen.
Almost all businesses in Victoria and Vancouver, Canada, accept U.S. credit and debit cards. If you plan to use your credit cards, you’ll want to check with each credit card company to determine the international exchange fee for each card. Because the difference of a few percentage points could cost you more (depending on your purchases), we recommend using cards with lower international exchange fees. Using your credit card for large purchases gives you more protection for the items you buy on your trip, and you can review your credit card statement to verify all your purchases.
When your cruise stops in Canada, the Canadian dollar (C$) is the official currency; however, U.S. dollars are widely accepted. When paying in U.S. dollars, expect to receive change in Canadian dollars, so bring small bills. While most cruise lines offer money exchange services onboard, please note that NCL does not provide this service. We recommend checking the exchange rate before traveling to a foreign country.

Your cruise vacation allows you to explore multiple locations without the hassle of checking in and out of hotels, packing and unpacking, and spending valuable time trying to find quality restaurants—all with excellent service dedicated to enhancing your exceptional travel experience.
Each cruise line makes rewarding the excellent service you’ll receive onboard easy. A gratuity of $16-$25 per day (depending on the cruise line and cabin category), per guest for dining and stateroom services will be automatically added daily to your shipboard account. In addition, the cruise line will automatically add an 18%-20% service charge for beverages and spa and salon services purchased through your onboard account. Before the end of the cruise, the cruise director will address more specific questions regarding tipping procedures.
If you take a taxi to the pier, it’s common to round up to the next dollar when paying your tab. The cab drivers appreciate this, as it is considered part of their income.
When you arrive at the ship on embarkation day, we suggest tipping the porters at the pier $1.25 per bag when they take your luggage to place it on the ship.
When visiting restaurants off the ship and during shore excursions, a 20% tip for restaurant service workers is appreciated.
