Chief Rabban Marvin "Bronc" Morton & his Lady Dixie invite fellow El Kalah Shriners and their non-shrine friends to join them on a magnificent cruise to the Scandinavian Capitals Departure Date: May 9 to May 22 2009

Dear Nobles, Ladies & Friends,

Please join us for an extraordinary and unique vacation experience when we set sail on the Norwegian Jewel to explore the sights of Scandinavia. As we depart Dover, we head towards Copenhagen, a city filled with picturesque canals and Warnemünde, a sea resort with the largest beaches on the German Baltic Sea. While cruising the Baltic, you will enjoy all the amenities of the first-class Norwegian Jewel which offers bars, lounges, sports and fitness activities, a luxurious Health Spa & Beauty Salon in addition to a wired Internet Café. Enjoy dining in the ship's main restaurant, Tsar's Palace, reminiscent of our port of St. Petersburg, with its gold ceilings and shining chandeliers.

Stroll down Old Town's cobblestone streets in nautical Tallinn, and appreciate the ancient medieval buildings, the grand City Hall, the Estonian Orthodox Church, Toompea Castle and Oleviste Church among many other historically impressive sights. Next overnight in St. Petersburg, the historical and cultural capital of Russia. Though it is the most westernized of Russia's cities, its grand architecture echoes the great cities of Europe. Our passage to the Scandinavian Capitals then continues to Helsinki, the "Pearl of the Baltic" which is famous for its majestic architecture including the awesome Rock Church, built inside a massive chunk of natural granite, and the Grand Senate Square. The tour draws to a close after visiting Stockholm known as the "Venice of the North."

We look forward to having you with us for this wonderful and memorable vacation. Please reserve early to avoid missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cruise the Scandinavian Capitals with your fellow Shriners!

Sincerely,

Bronc and Dixie Morton
