Join the Journey – Celtic Tours Announces Pilgrimage Packages to Ireland for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress


Albany, NY (PRWEB) February 12, 2012

Celtic Tours World Vacations is pleased to announce Pilgrimage Packages to Ireland for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, Ireland from Sunday June 10 to the 17th, 2012.

Once every 4 years, somewhere in the world over 500,000 people gather in a Eucharistic Congress to bear witness and promote an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Catholic Church. This year, Dublin welcomes world-wide pilgrims to its emerald isles for 8 days of worship through mass, prayer and liturgical celebrations; film, music and theater, keynote addresses, workshops and discussion groups. International pilgrims from 5 continents are expected to join in the celebrations from June 10 ? 17, 2012. Presently parish communities, prayer groups, clergy members and individual pilgrims are gearing up to embark on this amazing journey of faith.

Ireland is a prime spot for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress because of its well-established Christian faith, dating back to the 4th century when St. Patrick traveled throughout Ireland converting and instructing believers in the Christian faith. Religious Pilgrims will find centuries old monastic sites, high crosses, elevating cathedrals and highly illuminated monastic manuscripts giving a glimpse into how early Christians worshipped and announced their religious fervor.

Celtic Tours World Vacations is pleased to present religious pilgrims with extraordinary group travel packages to experience the age old traditions and religious sites of Ireland in conjunction with the Eucharistic Congress. We are offering special rates on group tours with land only cost per person sharing starting at $ 1599 pps for 9 nights/10 days, $ 1399 pps for 8 nights/9 days and $ 1069 pps for 5 nights/6 days. All tours include most dinners, breakfast daily, full sightseeing, transfers and admissions. Special Itineraries can be tailored to suite. Self-drive and city stay rates are available. Airfare and departure taxes if required are additional and rates may vary with departure dates. Call our Group Specialists for more details 1-800-833-4373.

We invite groups of travelers to join in the religious fervor and excitement of this once in a lifetime opportunity to explore the religious side of Ireland, join in the religious celebrations of the Eucharistic Congress and renew their faith. Join the journey.

Private Tours The Best Way For Holiday Travelers To Discover Holy Land

Vancouver, Canada (Vocus) March 31, 2010

Just in time for the 2010 Passover and Easter holidays, ToursByLocals announces new Jerusalem and Holy Land private tours. Those hoping to walk the Via Dolorosa on Good Friday can do so in the company of a sensitive, knowledgeable and experienced local guide.

All private guides are licensed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, and are eager to provide travelers with an authentic “local” experience in addition to visiting Jerusalem’s traditional tourist highlights. Guides are passionate about their homeland’s archaeology, history, nature, art and architecture and can gear their tours to families, singles, couples and elderly travelers making a long-anticipated pilgrimage to Israel.

According to the Israel Airport Authority, the number of travelers coming by air to Jerusalem during the 2010 Passover/Easter holiday period will be 17% higher than the same period last year. Most tours are booked well in advance, making it difficult for travelers to find a reputable guide at the last minute. ToursByLocals offers private half and full-day tours of Jerusalem’s Christian, Jewish and Muslim holy sites – from the Wailing Wall to Temple Mount and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

For many travelers, a trip to Israel is the culmination of years of anticipation. A small, private tour – such as those offered by ToursByLocals guides – gives these devoted travelers the best possible experience, with a friendly local guide who offers flexibility, spontaneity and personal attention impossible to find on a large bus tour.

As Paul Melhus, President of ToursByLocals, explains: “It’s a much better travel experience when you see the reality of a place through the eyes of a local. The Israeli guides on our system are genuinely excited to meet travelers from all over the world and introduce them to this ancient nation’s religious sights, complicated history and modern-day politics.”

In addition to offering tours around the city of Jerusalem, ToursByLocals guides also accompany travelers to Galilee, on a Jezreel Valley tour, and a Herodium tour in the Judean Desert.

Holy Land tours can be booked through the company’s website.
