What is the Semester at Sea Lifelong Learning Program?
Semester at Sea is much more than an excursion around the world – though that in itself sounds like a life-changing experience. The Semester at Sea Lifelong Learning Program is based on the belief that global education is an increasingly essential component for understanding today’s world. It offers opportunities to develop cross-cultural understandings of human commonalities and global interdependence.
