Experience
Student Stories & Mentors
Who better to share the transformative Semester at Sea experience than students themselves? You can chat with recent alumni directly via our Global Ambassador Program or Diversity Peer Mentor Program, or you can scroll below and explore more student stories!
Global Ambassador Program
Global Ambassadors are recent alumni who are still enrolled as undergraduate students — possibly at your campus or a campus near you! They are trained to answer questions you may have about the program and share their unique experiences.
Diversity Peer Mentor Program
Before and after each voyage, SAS can connect recent alumni with prospective voyagers who share similar identities. This is designed to be an informal mentoring program to share personal voyage experiences. Although we cannot guarantee to meet all mentorship requests, we will do our best to pair as many mentors and mentees as possible.

Our favorite memories from St Helena! #voyage138 #semesteratsea #studyabroad #sasfa26
From the streets of Rio to the waterfalls of Iguazu 🇧🇷
Voyagers spent four nights exploring Brazil, hiking Sugarloaf Mountain, experiencing local culture in Rio, and getting up close to Iguaçu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. Four nights packed with adventure, new experiences, and unforgettable views! #semesteratsea #voyage138 #sasfa26

A look at business and tourism in Salvador, Brazil! 🇧🇷
Voyagers visited M. Dias Branco, one of Brazil’s leading food companies, to learn about its production and marketing strategies. The group then met with Salvador’s Secretariat for Culture and Tourism to learn how the city promotes itself and attracts visitors from around the world.
From the products we see on store shelves to the places we travel, students got to see how marketing shapes the way businesses and destinations compete

Post Neptune Day Report! #voyage138 #semesteratsea #studyabroad #sasfa26
Introducing our third Through The Lens Feature for Voyage 138, Michael Kurschat, a finance major at Montana State University.
“I just enjoy taking raw photos, I don’t want to pose anyone. I want to capture authentic emotions, good or bad, and look back on it as a moment in time. I use scale and perspective to show the magnitude of the environment and build a story through layers and colors by muting or exaggerating some aspects. I want to capture the moment exactly how it happened, and in post, I’ll edit the photo exactly how I saw it in that moment.”
