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.

Taking Law & Economics beyond the classroom in Morocco 🇲🇦
Students spent the day learning about microcredit and how it operates in Morocco today. The morning began at a local university, where SAS students joined Moroccan students for a presentation on microcredit, followed by questions and a lively discussion about its impact and role in Morocco.
After lunch, the class heard from several speakers involved in microcredit across the country, offering different perspectives on how it works in practice.

A day of learning, exploring, and connecting across cultures in Tangier 🇲🇦
Students spent the day learning about the history and relationships between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity throughout Tangier. The day started with a walk through the Medina and a conversation with an Islamic leader at the Kasbah Mosque about the history of Islam in the region.
After sharing a Moroccan lunch together, the group visited the Moshe Nahon Synagogue to learn about Tangier’s Jewish community, followed by a stop at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, where Moorish architecture meets Christian tradition.
From the Medina to the mosque, synagogue, and church, this field class was a chance to see how different faiths and cultures have shaped Tangier—and how they continue to coexist today. 🌍

Meet the CREs! 🌎🚢
Behind every great residential community on the MV World Odyssey are the people making it happen. Our Coordinators of Residential Education (CREs) are here to build community, plan programs, support students, navigate the unexpected, and make the ship feel a little more like home.
From late night conversations to Sea events, port days to the moments when students need a little extra support, our CREs are an important part of life on board.
Get to know the people who help make our floating campus feel like home! 👋

Introducing our second Through The Lens feature for Voyage 138, Callie Dou, a sophomore Applied Math and Design double major at @ucdavis.
“I’ve always loved photography, especially photos that feel calm and peaceful. Morocco gave me many chances to capture that feeling. From the northern cities to the desert in the south, the country seems to move at its own pace. Even when things look busy at first, there is still a sense of rhythm underneath.
Travel photography also feels very different from the way I usually take photos. I normally think carefully before taking a picture, but while traveling, moments pass quickly. I have to notice things faster and trust my instincts more.
That is also what I love about photography: photos become some of the best memories from a trip. When I photographed Morocco, I was not only recording the places I saw, but also this part of Semester at Sea and what it felt like to experience it at nineteen.”
