Bon Voyage & Welcome Home Receptions
Hosted by the SAS Parents Council, the Bon Voyage and Welcome Home Receptions occur the evening before the voyagers depart for their journey and arrive back home. The programs include information about the next day’s embarkation or disembarkation, what to expect when your voyager returns, and your lifelong relationship with Semester at Sea.
