David Rose Journeys | Footsteps of Paul 2027

Follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul on an extraordinary journey through the lands where the early Church first took root.

Beginning in Istanbul, explore the remarkable crossroads of Europe and Asia before embarking on a luxury Mediterranean voyage aboard Oceania Cruises. Over the course of the journey, visit places intimately connected to Paul's missionary journeys and the expansion of Christianity throughout the ancient Roman world.

Stand beside the river in Philippi where Lydia was baptized, walk through the ancient cities of Thessaloniki and Berea, and explore the remarkably preserved ruins of Ephesus, where Paul's ministry had a profound impact. Continue through Rhodes, Malta, Sicily, and southern Italy, reflecting on Paul's perseverance as he carried the Gospel across the Mediterranean.

The journey concludes in Rome, where Paul's earthly ministry reached its final chapter. Visit sites traditionally associated with his imprisonment, ministry, and burial, and experience the significance of his final words: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Throughout the journey, Scripture, history, archaeology, and culture come together in a thoughtfully curated experience designed for travelers seeking more than sightseeing. With hand-selected accommodations, private transportation, expert local guides, curated shore excursions, and the comfort of luxury small-ship cruising, David Rose Journeys takes care of the details so you can focus on the places, the people, and the story.
