The Girl's Get-A-Way is a four-day cruise for women featuring Christian speakers and artists, morning devotions, chances to meet other Christian women and two ports of call. Premier Christian Cruises and has offered the annual Girl's Get-A-Way since 2005, when its maiden voyage sold out. In 2006, the cruise became the first to charter an entire ship for Christian women.
The cruise continues to be a success, sailing each fall from Florida with cabins filled to capacity. The cruise creates a complete spiritual environment, with Christian music over the PA system, Christian television channels, wholesome movies and concerts, and inspirational speakers.
When reporter Candace Walker of Bella Online asked John Sanders, partner at Premier Christian Cruises, why he chose to create a cruise just for women, he said, "...men and women are just different, and women have that need for that emotional connection with their girlfriends."

Samoan-born brothers and contemporary Christian group The Katinas take their music to the seas for the annual Katinas & Friends cruise. The five brothers' vocals mesh into one melody for their pop, Motown, urban hip-hop and island music.
The seven-day cruise features ports in the Mexican Riviera, including Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. Guests enjoy morning devotions, group dinners and nightly concerts.
This cruise is open to singles, couples and families, but offers something more to women through the onboard Girlville ministry. The 2011 featured speaker, for example, is Kim Bolton, author of "Conversations at the Girlville Diner." A women's tea lets Christian women gather for faith and fellowship.
