* Lifelong Learners on the Spring 2011 voyage who confirm an inside or outside stateroom at the single rate may bring a second person to share their cabin at no additional cost. Lifelong Learner cabin-mates qualifying for the 2-for-1 rate pay just $14,997 or $15,747 each.

Rates are subject to modification.

Rates are per person and include passage fare, room, board, premium travel health insurance, and e-mail account. Travel to and from the ship, field excursions, immunizations, visa fees, and miscellaneous in-port travel expenses are not included.

The Institute for Shipboard Education reserves the right to reinstate a fuel supplement for all participants at up to $9 per person per day should the price of light sweet crude oil--according to the NY Mercantile Exchange Index--increase above $70 per barrel.


Guaranteed "Share" Program for Single Voyagers

For single Lifelong Learners who wish to share a cabin, we will attempt to provide a match with another Lifelong Learner of the same gender so both obtain the double occupancy rate. If we cannot find a roommate match, the single Lifelong Learner will get a single cabin at the double occupancy rate (applies to Inside and Oceanview Staterooms, only).
