Our Ship FAQ



How do I decide what cabin category to choose?

It is really up to you. Keep in mind that ship cabins tend to be small. Students spend most of their time outside their cabin. Some students prefer having a window/porthole and are willing to pay the extra cost.



How many students are on board?

As many as 720 undergraduates sail each fall, spring, and summer voyage.



Is there Internet access on the ship?

Internet service on the ship is available from an onboard computer lab. The lab is equipped with 20 computers and is available 24/7. Wi-fi access is available throughout the ship, as well, for those who bring their wireless-equipped laptops. You receive 125 minutes free Internet access as part of your paid program fees; after that, there is a per-minute cost for onboard Internet access starting at about 30 cents per minute.
