Ocean star forever!
by: Quinten Crum - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 40 DaysEvery day was different from the last and the constant adventure is something I will never forget! The students and staff onboard were all fantastic and I made some of the best friends ever in such a short period of time. I wish I had done the 90-day voyage but I think even after that I would be wanting more.
Experience of a lifetime
by: Katarina Hein - CanadaProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 40 DaysThis trip pushed me to try so many amazing new things with some great people. Meeting a wonderful group of like-minded individuals was so inspiring and refreshing. Even since I've been back home, this trip has left a lasting impression on me. I feel more like myself than I have since the beginning of the pandemic. The staff was incredible and really helped us get the most out of the trip. I've made long-lasting friendships and discovered so many new things!
