Why limit yourself to just one ocean, country, or continent? Choose this transatlantic journey spanning over 6,500 miles and offering the best of land and sea. Sail the Mediterranean, cross the Atlantic, and cruise the Caribbean against the backdrop of sunrise, sunset, and moonlight. Gaze at the Pantheon and Coliseum in Rome.

The trip of a lifetime
by: Robert Peters - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Mediterranean to Caribbean - 90 DaysThis has been the most amazing trip of my life just now finishing up and cannot believe the experience I have gained from traveling. The traveling, sailing, academics all of it as a whole is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. From traveling the streets of Rome to diving the blue waters of Dominica nothing compares to a trip of this caliber. The academics have been great especially seeing the things you learn about in class as we are diving or sailing is amazing. Straight from...
Voyage of a Lifetime
by: Rachel L - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Mediterranean to Caribbean - 90 DaysThis experience completely altered the course of my life. I have learned so much from my fellow students and staff and therefore can without a doubt say that this was the best decision I have ever made for myself. My new perspectives and outlook on life are indescribable, and I hardly recognize my old self. My favorite memories are the little moments: a private laugh across the cockpit, staying up with another watch team an extra 30 minutes, skipping through clouds on top of a mountain, a giant ...

Kelly Swartzbaugh
Participated in 2012
As soon as I got to college I knew I wanted to study abroad. I had friends who shared their experiences with me and I began planning my experience pretty early. I wanted to expand my horizons and learn about the world through first hand experiences. I did a lot of online research and was trying to decide between programs in Italy and Spain. I had traveled to Germany as a high school student and I knew that I wanted to explore Europe further.
