01 About Living Water What is Living Water Christian Cruise? +

Living Water Christian Cruise is a Christ-centered cruise experience created to bring people together through worship, biblical teaching, fellowship, community, and unforgettable experiences at sea.

Living Water combines the fun of a cruise vacation with private Christian conference programming designed to help guests grow in their faith, encounter God, build genuine friendships, and create lasting memories.

Each sailing has its own theme, schedule, speakers, worship experiences, activities, and special events.

02 Guests and Families Who is the experience for? +

Living Water is created primarily for young adults ages 18–34, but family members are welcome to come along too.

Guests may attend solo, with friends, as a couple, with parents, or with their children. Kids are welcome, and complimentary childcare is available during designated Living Water programming so parents can participate in worship, sessions, and other conference experiences.

Whether you’re coming on your own and hoping to meet new people, traveling with your church or ministry group, bringing your parents, or making it a family vacation, there is room for you to experience Living Water and be part of the community.

03 Preparing to Sail What travel documents will I need? +

Travel-document requirements depend on your citizenship and the specific cruise itinerary.

For most eligible Royal Caribbean sailings departing from and returning to the United States, U.S. citizens may travel with either:

  • A valid U.S. passport; or
  • An official or state-certified U.S. birth certificate together with a valid government-issued photo ID.

A passport is strongly recommended and may be required depending on your citizenship, itinerary, or individual circumstances.

Each guest is responsible for making sure they have the correct travel documents before sailing. We recommend confirming current requirements with Royal Caribbean and the appropriate government authorities before departure.

04 Programming and Amenities What is included in my Living Water experience? +

Your Living Water experience includes access to our private Christian conference programming and community experiences throughout the sailing, in addition to the amenities included with your cruise fare.
