Ocean star forever!

Every 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

This 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!

I had the time of my life! What made my best time was the diversity of experiences and learnings we made and the balance between academic classes, diving, sailing, on-shore activities, free time with the crew.
