ALESUND, NORWAY

Ålesund’s  beauty would be hard to surpass. It is called the most beautiful fjord city.  A city walk and shopping is a must to feel its culture.

MOLDE, NORWAY

Molde is another beautiful Fjord City.with heaps of charm and atmosphere. You may feel like you are walking into a fairytale. Look out for Trolls! Everywhere you turn is another beautiful view.

One of the best experiences in the world is cruising a fjord. The Sognefjord is called the King of the fjords for a good reason: it is the longest fjord in Norway and the second-longest in the world. The Sognefjorden is enveloped with exceptional natural beauty, tall mountains, waterfalls, and scenic forests.

BENBOW FARM & STONEHENGE

BENBOW FARM & STONEHENGE
Hill Farm and Benbow’s Pond was originally the homestead of John and Jane Benbow who played a pivotal role in the conversion and baptism of all but one of the 600 members of the United Brethren's congregation. We’ll also travel to nearby Stonehenge, the most architecturally sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the world.

Nordfjord is formed from blue glaciers with  majestic mountains on either side, and sprinkled with fertile valleys and deep lakes. The glaciers, fjords, sea and mountains in Nordfjord are some of the most beautiful that Norwegian nature has to offer.

STAVANGER, NORWAY
 
Stavanger is a small historic area with beautifully restored wooden buildings dating from the turn of the 18th -19th century. You’ll find narrow cobbled streets with the old-fashioned street lanterns. One of the best tours to schedule is the boat tour up the fjord to the site of Pulpit Rock, or as they say Preikestolen. No regrets.

Warwick castle is rich in history and is very well preserved. Visiting the Great Hall, the State Rooms and other areas of the castle are impressive and the views from the top of the mound were breathtaking. We’ll visit Oxford, famous for its university--the second oldest in the world and often cited as the best. Don’t forget Stratford upon Avon, famous for its Shakespeare connections.

Luxury Cruise Experience

Thousands have visited the Rome Temple and Visitors Center during the open house and since it was dedicated in March 2019. President Russell M. Nelson described the dedication of this special temple as “a hinge point in the history of the Church.”

Join us in visiting the picturesque, 15-acre Rome Temple site in northeast Rome perfectly landscaped with gardens, Roman pines and olive trees. The interior of the temple features beautiful Italian-quarried Perlato Svevo marble. Magnificent floor work is featured in the baptistry and grand foyer, which reflects Michelangelo’s design at the Piazza del Campidoglio on top of Rome’s Capitoline Hill.

Temple recommend holders can do ordinances and all can visit the beautiful Visitors Center that displays reproductions of Bertel Thorvaldsen's Christus statue and the twelve apostles, all made from Carrara Marble.

Wet and wonderful. Romantic and historic. Writers, poets and politicians have been extolling its virtues for centuries. Lord Byron dubbed it The Ruler of Waters and Her Powers. Despite its grandeur, you can explore it by foot or gondola, starting at the Bridge of Sighs, and write a poem of your own.

Galileo, Michelangelo, the Medici’s—the pioneers of the Renaissance, or Rinascimento in Italian—made Florence their home and left the world a gift that keeps on giving: freedom of thought, expression, and innovation. More a museum than a city, “Firenze” is waiting for you with open arms.

History is all around you when you visit ancient Rome including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Basilica of San Clemente. We’ll also visit the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel and the St. Peter's Basilica and much more.

The Rome Italy Temple is the center of a beautiful, 15-acre religious and cultural site in northeast Rome. You will enjoy the temple and the Visitors Center, which includes reproductions of the famous Christus statue and the Twelve Apostles.
