Speak to your priest before you leave, you should be able to get a dispensation. Also, you should check the readings so you can read them on Sunday as part of your private devotions. Also check with the cruiseline to see if they have a chaplin or any kind of services offered on board. Probably not Catholic, but it might still be nice to hear a hymn.I am just starting a vacation that includes an Alaskan cruise. The problem is I will be at sea on Sunday. This will be the first time in a while that I have missed mass, and although I know I can’t really do much to control this, I still feel bad. How can I “make up” for this while on my cruise?
It’s a little too late for that now. I’m in a coffee shop right now in Canada. I would suspect they have a little service, but I’ve never been too keen on these “non-denominational” services. I really want the Eucharist, not to be signing with all these people waving their hands in the air.Speak to your priest before you leave, you should be able to get a dispensation.

Check with the cruise line. They may have a priest on staff that will be doing masses. The principal of the high school I work at, who is a Jesuit priest, is on staff for two Alaska cruises this summer (sorry, I don’t know which cruise line and cruises).I am just starting a vacation that includes an Alaskan cruise.
