Opportunities for learning are at the heart of Enrichment Voyages. We offer interactive lectures, workshops, and pre-port briefings led by college professors and other experts. Enrichment Sessions provide you with the opportunity for personal growth and discovery through examining the history, culture, indigenous people, literature, music, geology, biology, and current issues of the regions through which you travel. Additional enhancements to learning are provided through community college sessions led by your fellow shipmates plus an 9,000-volume library and a computer lab with limited internet access for further self-study. A broad selection of optional Field Programs will allow you to go ashore for first-hand discovery and exploration in every port.
