Semester at Sea - 2010 Voyage

Semester at Sea gives you a taste of the entire globe as you travel more than 24,000 nautical miles to as many as 12 off-the-beaten-path international destinations ... or to a single fascinating world region for intensive exploration. The leader in shipboard study-abroad education, Semester at Sea sails three voyages per year for academic credit. Our vessel, the MV Explorer, is a passenger liner converted into a state-of-the-art seafaring campus. Since 1963, more than 45,000 students from colleges and universities around the world have studied with Semester at Sea, traveling to non-traditional destinations in 60 countries. The Institute for Shipboard Education administers the program, and the University of Virginia, the second-ranked public institution in the U.S., is the academic sponsor. Students choose from more than 70 courses in a variety of disciplines. Faculties are internationalists who integrate course content with field practice. The program is open to anyone from any major and any college or university.
