As salt as Neptune himself Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

SEA provides a one-of-a-kind immersive educational experience, where your teachers in the classroom on shore become your shipmates at sea. The workload is intense, but targeted and fair. All knowledge gained in class is immediately applied to real world situations on the ship. Instructors and students share in each other's passion for the oceanographic projects being accomplished, and the maritime world around them.

On-site administration of your program

From the captain to the deckhand, everyone on board SEA vessels is knowledgeable, passionate, and accessible. Students get focused, individual attention from their watch officers, who confer more and more responsibility upon the students themselves as the trip progresses.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Students live in shared houses on shore, then on the ship.

Students buy and prepare their own food on shore, with grocery money provided by the program. At sea, meals are prepared by the ship's steward, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as morning snack, afternoon snack, and midnight snack. All dietary restrictions are accommodated.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Being on a tall ship at sea!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

All program participants are well-trained in safety issues on board the ship, including how to deal with multiple kinds of fires, medical emergencies, man-overboard incidents, and proper sail handling. A full physical is needed before participation.
