The Scholar Ship

Welcome Aboard!

The Scholar Ship is a recognized academic program aboard a transformed passenger ship hosting students on semester-long voyages around the world. Participants from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to co-create a transnational learning community that develops their intercultural competence and fosters lifelong friendships.

During a 16-week semester, students aboard The Scholar Ship also pursue numerous opportunities through our Port Program, in which they participate in academic field studies, community service, shore excursions and independent travel. The Port Program is highly integrated into the classroom curriculum, making for a sophisticated experiential learning experience.

To succeed in this increasingly interdependent world, you need more than linguistic abilities. You need the intercultural knowledge and understanding that comes from experiences among many cultures. This is what The Scholar Ship can offer you.
