Sail and Learn with us
Set sail January 6–15, 2027 with Seeing His World and Freed-Hardeman University aboard the Norwegian Escape for the 2nd Annual Seminar at Sea—a Caribbean cruise built around sun, travel, deep Bible learning, and lasting friendships.
Led by Dr. Jonathan Moore and Dr. Justin Rogers, the seminar includes 10 in-depth lectures exploring the historical claims of the Bible, the life of Jesus, and the latest discoveries in biblical archaeology. These lectures are scheduled to enhance the cruise experience—not compete with it—leaving plenty of time to enjoy the ship, the ports, and time together.
If you love deep Bible study, staying current with the latest in the world of the Bible and archaeology, and making friendships that last long after the cruise ends, you will love this unforgettable Seminar at Sea. The cruise-based format also makes this an excellent option for those who prefer a less physically demanding way to travel while still enjoying rich destinations and meaningful learning.
