Semester at Sea Fall 2005

The Voyage

Semester at Sea® is a global shipboard education program. The goal is to provide students with a comparative cross section of a large number of cultures in a single semester. I attended the Fall 2005 voyage of Semester at Sea and can easily say that it was one of the best experiences of my life so far. I've compiled these pages in the hope of sharing my experience with others, I hope you enjoy them and would appreciate any feedback.

Our Route

The Photo Drop Box

That's right. I've got almost the entire Photo Drop Box from the shipboard network here. Unfortunately you can't see the full size pictures (that would be over 120 GB of images) but I have made the thumbnails large enough to see what is going on in each photo.

Other Resources

• Packing List
  This is the packing list that I compiled before my voyage. As expected it turned out to be a bit over inclusive. In the future I hope to revise it but for now it can serve as a loose guide.
• Shipboard Email
  Some extra information about the Internet connection on the ship and some things you can do to minimize your usage.
