Apostle Paul's Shipwreck: Malta & Italy
time 12 Days / 10 Nights

Following his last great missionary journey, Apostle Paul returns to Jerusalem and faces arrest. Transported to the Roman provincial capital of Caesarea, he undergoes trial and is eventually sent as a prisoner to Rome to appear before the emperor’s court.

The narrative in the Acts of the Apostles vividly recounts Paul's perilous voyage to Rome, including a shipwreck in Malta, supported by rich historical detail. This passage stands out in the New Testament, boasting a compelling evidential confirmation of its historical accuracy.

The Acts (28) describes the survivors' welcome in Malta, showcasing the islanders' kindness and their response to Paul's miraculous survival from a snakebite. Perillo Tours brings the Book of Acts to life, inviting you to follow in the footsteps of Apostle Paul, where historical, meteorological, and nautical details align with remarkable accuracy.
