Ship-Related Incident Does Not Involve Semester at Sea(R) Program

February 21, 2010: The incident you may have heard about over the weekend involved The Concordia, a small yacht that is part of the Nova Scotia-based Class Afloat program. The media often describe any ship-based program as "a semester at sea" and there is no connection between this program and ours. The Institute for Shipboard Education is a leading provider of global education and has launched more than 100 voyages over its successful 48-year history. We encourage you to learn more about our innovative health and safety strategies and you can always track the location of our floating campus, the MV Explorer by using the interactive ship map.
