Voyage 129 taught me how to be flexible, open-minded, resilient, and globally aware. I am grateful to have been a part of an incredible program and I recommend it to any college student!
I gained a perspective on humanity and the world that I never would have otherwise. I met so many unique people and visited places that people only dream about doing in their lives. It was absolutely worthwhile and I loved every minute of it.
An Endeavor That Made Me Grow Out Of My Comfort Zone! I learned how to be more open minded, act culturally appropriate, and to be more independent. All these skills I developed were defiantly worthwhile and applicable to other parts of my life moving forward.
Melanie Muhlenberg College
Life Changing Experience! It was amazing. I learned so much about myself. The biggest lesson was to live in the moment instead of focusing on what is next.
I learned how to be confident in myself! Living in a new country on my own and not knowing anyone was a push outside my comfort zone, but I did it and had a blast. I learned how to travel and manage time with schoolwork and home life in America. I learned the value in seeing other countries and cultures.

I learned how to handle myself in a different country. This was my first time traveling alone, and my first time leaving the U.S. so it was scary at first. It is completely manageable and everyone should study abroad if they are able.

Semester at Sea
Nearly 100 years ago, the idea for a floating university that would travel the world became the passionate pursuit of James Edwin Lough, a psychology professor at New York University. He believed changes needed to be made to traditional teaching methods of American universities and soon became a leader in a new educational movement. Travel and first-hand experience, he felt, must be part of every scholar’s education, and he set out to find others who shared this vision.
