Itinerary Strategies

"I really wanted to go on Semester at Sea because the itinerary that was being offered was one that would allow me to travel in countries where I could gain perspectives that a traditional abroad program could not offer."

—Jaclyn O'Mara, Fall 2005

Non-Traditional Destinations

Semester at Sea itineraries are carefully selected to maximize the value of a comparative, global education. Unlike many study-abroad programs, we focus on destinations in the developing world. The countries and regions we visit offer examples of varying stages of economic development, contrasting political systems, and great diversity of religious and cultural values.

Recent SAS voyages have included destinations such as:

• Japan, Kenya, South Africa, China, Tanzania, Turkey, Taiwan, Brazil, Croatia, Malaysia, Cuba, Peru, Viet Nam, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Myanmar, Egypt, Guatemala, India, and Israel

Itinerary Changes

All Semester at Sea itineraries are subject to change due to world conditions. Significant political or economic shifts in a particular country or region may result in an itinerary change.
