THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

"CTS is amazing. Their nonstop energy, spirit of service, and professionalism all find their source in one divinely inspired motive: to share the beauty and goodness of LIFE with as many people as possible. That’s not just a job. That’s a calling for the CTS Team, and it’s felt throughout the entire staff."

“The Good News Cruise producers, Corporate Travel, are leaders in hospitality. There is a deep level of care, not only for a successful experience, but also that each experience is crafted to facilitate an encounter. On the Good News Cruise, that encounter will be with your spouse, with an amazing community of couples and speakers, and most importantly, with Christ! The Good News Cruise will have a lifelong impact on your marriage! I am extremely grateful to be a part of this experience.”

FATHER MIKE SCHMITZ

"The 2023 Good News Marriage Cruise sponsored by Corporate Travel Service was a tremendous blessing for the married couples attending. Throughout the week I witnessed couples growing in their love for one another and for our Lord. Healings occurred that were profound in those who encountered the love and mercy of Jesus Christ through the sacraments and their spouse. I encourage you to take time to be with the Lord and your spouse in a beautiful setting surrounded by the beauty of creation!"
