What is The Scholar Ship?

The Scholar Ship is a globally recognized academic program aboard a transformed passenger ship hosting both undergraduate and postgraduate 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.

Our experiential-based program provides students an extraordinary opportunity to integrate education and travel unlike any other program. As we travel from country to country over a 16-week semester, students live and learn in a dynamic multicultural environment aboard our ship. When in port (average visit is seven days), students participate in academic field study, community service, shore excursions and independent travel.

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.
