There’s something truly remarkable about stepping onto a cruise ship with strangers and stepping off with lifelong friends. That’s the magic of the Good News Cruise. For many, it’s more than a vacation—it’s a spiritual retreat, a marriage enrichment journey, and, perhaps most powerfully, a place to find community.


It’s easy to imagine that a cruise filled with hundreds of couples might feel overwhelming or impersonal. But on the Good News Cruise, a shared faith and a desire to grow in love transform casual introductions into lasting bonds. Mealtimes become moments of deep conversation. Prayer becomes a shared rhythm, and joy becomes the soundtrack to the trip.


Take it from Kay Kay and Steve Bossaller, who’ve now experienced this cruise twice and are already counting down to their third:


“2024 was our second Good News Cruise, and we're eagerly anticipating trip #3 next year. My husband and I didn't know anyone on this trip, but we were blessed to be assigned to share meals with a group of like-minded couples. As the days passed, our connections transcended mere table assignments, blossoming into meaningful friendships. We reveled in sharing daily mass, meals, drinks, prayers, and so much laughter, creating unforgettable memories. The grand finale was a night of dancing with the Bishop and meeting EWTN celebrities, leaving us with a heart full of joy and gratitude.”

Their story is one of many, but it perfectly captures what makes this journey so special. It’s not just about the destination or even the incredible lineup of speakers and spiritual experiences—it’s about the people you meet along the way.


In a world where genuine connection can feel increasingly rare, the Good News Cruise offers a space where love, laughter, and faith come together on the high seas. For couples seeking more than just a getaway, it’s a chance to find their people—and to leave with more than souvenirs, but with a community they’ll carry with them long after they disembark.
