February 3 - Fort Lauderdale, FL, USASouth Florida’s warm climate and sparkling waters make it a magnet for water sport enthusiasts. From the beaches and recreational waterways, to the lively arts and cultural scene, Fort Lauderdale has become a world-class destination.

February 5 - Georgetown, Grand CaymanGrand Cayman is where the high life meets island life. This international banking haven is as much known for award-winning beaches as for the flocks of celebrities and high rollers that frequent them. You can sip Cayman Mama’s while rubbing shoulders with the global glitterati. During your Grand Cayman cruise, you can snorkel with stingrays in Stingray City. Treat your inner foodie at eateries established by acclaimed top chefs like Michael Schwartz, or chow down on conch fritters by the seashore. You can even soak up some rays at one of the beaches voted best in the world, Seven Mile Beach. And do it all in the same day.

February 6 - Cozumel, MexicoCozumel blends Mexican culture with Caribbean vibes. You can explore its Mayan roots in Tulum, or discover a secret world of sea life as you snorkel beneath the waves in Chankanaab. And there is no better way to close out the day than with an ice cold drink and a beachside massage at Playa Mia.

February 8 – Disembark in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

A Spiritual Care Seminar at Sea“Witnesses to their Suffering”

As chaplains and care-givers we love those that we accompany on the journey; but there are questions that each of us face: What do I make of Suffering? Where do I go with it? Who is with me in this? How do I live with it? How do I take care of myself? Through our compassionate response to the suffering of others we can grow in our ability to take care of our own wellbeing.

Why should Chaplains and Spiritual Care Professionals register for this Seminar at Sea?This short, affordably priced Seminar at Sea cruise will allow participants to:• Build stronger bonds with spiritual care professionals from thoughout the country. • Encourage a greater capacity to be compassionate and grow in their ability to take care of their own physical and emotional well-being.• Experience a get-away to the warmth of the Western Caribbean and enjoy visits to the historic port of Georgetown, Grand Cayman and a taste of Mayan culture in Cozumel, Mexico.
