Unforgettable experience!! Apply ASAP!
by: Alaina James - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Antigua to Grenada - 80 daysThe hardest question after returning from this trip is "What was your favorite part?". The only answer is EVERYTHING. Everyday on Ocean Star is absolutely incredible and just when you think you've seen it all it only gets better! Living onboard with your fellow students, you will get to experience the trip as a working member of the crew. That's right, This is NOT a cruise ship. Be prepared for dance parties while cooking in the galley, cleaning the saloon and heads, and getting your hands dirty...
such a cool experience!!!!
by: Sierra Kehoe - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Antigua to Grenada - 80 daysSeamester was definitely one of the best experiences of my life! This is not a luxurious sailing program (there’s no crew to sail you from place to place or cook for you), but that makes it so much better. Learning to sail while actually living on a boat was amazing. You can look forward to swimming in the ocean every day, getting really close with your fellow crew, and making so many cool memories!!
Fantastic!

I went to bed every night tired but satisfied, and I ca...

Cole Timothy Lewis
Participated in 2015
I applied for an international program because of my love for adventure. My family and I have always loved traveling and finding new places. I love being immersed in different cultures and trying to learn local languages and customs. I feel like experiencing and exploring different cultures plays a crucial role in how you view society and the world.
