ms OOSTERDAM
Dear Friends,
We want to invite you on a vacation of a lifetime as we cruise
to the Mexican Riviera! This will be a week of exciting Southern
Gospel Music & fun Christian fellowship aboard a cruise fiesta!
Gospel Music friends, The Booth Brothers, Legacy Five, The Beene Family, Liberty Quartet, The
Greenes, Freedom Singers, Phil Cross, and The Herb Henry Family will play host aboard Holland
America’s ms Oosterdam! We will depart from the beautiful San Diego bay sailing past Coronado
Island, Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma. We will sail into the wildlife-rich Sea of Cortez
and revel in the pulsing energy of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Throughout Mexico,
discover historic sights, shops full of local treasures and enjoy any manner of beach and water
activities. Not to mention award-winning shore excursions and onboard amenities by Holland America.
Our time aboard the ship will include exciting daily gospel concerts by your favorite artists & groups.
Plus, there will be two wonderful matinee programs that will inspire and encourage your heart! Phil
Cross will bring his “Songs of A Lifetime”, sharing the stage with several of the songwriters and
groups who have introduced us all to the great hits of gospel music as well as the stories behind
the songs. Jim & Melissa Brady will be joined by Brandon and Chrysta Beene for a special concert
for couples! Morning chapel services and devotions will be led by artists in personal and memorable
times of worship. Plus special receptions throughout the week with the artists await all those who
travel with us!
Join us for this incredible week, where you will be surrounded by the relaxing beauty of the Sea of
Cortez while enjoying the music you love! We hope this cruise will become one of your greatest
vacation memories.

Cruise Schedule
MAZATLAN, MEXICO (October 26, 8:00 A.m.–5:00 p.m.): Home of the largest shrimp fleet in the world,
this cosmopolitan resort city tempts with every variation of this tasty crustacean: grilled, al mojo de ajo (with
garlic), or in the shell with a tangy squeeze of lime. Other temptations: miles of uninterrupted sandy beaches,
busy markets, and sleepy mining towns tucked into the Sierra Madre.
PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO (October 27, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.): No longer the well-kept secret of
the artists, writers and Hollywood stars who first “discovered” it in the 1960s, “PV” (as it is affectionately
known) still retains the essence of the quaint fishing village it once was. Here is Viejo Vallarta, the quaint
Old Town, An enticing mix of red-tiled buildings, cobbled streets, chic shops and bustling open markets.
Here are Mismaloya Beach, Gringo Gulch and Conchas Chinas, the Beverly Hills of Vallarta.
CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO (October 28, 9:00 A.m.–5:00 p.m.): At the tip of the Baja Peninsula,
where the blue Pacific mingles with the Sea of Cortez in a whirl of watercolors. Experience waters teeming
with marlin, swordfish, sailfish, tuna and other fighting fish. Feast your eyes on exquisite black coral or take
in the annual migration of the gray whale.
