Semester at Sea, Fall 2015
My itinerary: Rome, Sorrento, Naples, Istanbul, Athens, Valencia, Barcelona

(see full voyage itinerary)

This fall, I have the honor of accompanying my wonderful and talented husband on the Fall 2015 voyage for Semester at Sea. My husband will be teaching courses onboard this floating University campus as it makes its way from Southampton, England to various port stops in the Mediterranean, Africa, and South and Central America until final debarkation in San Diego, California. 

I am especially excited because this voyage is the first for Semester at Sea's new ship, the MV World Odyssey. Formerly the MS Deutschland, the World Odyssey was constructed in Germany and has an art-deco theme.  She was used as a hospitality ship by the German Olympic committee during the 2012 games in London. As lovely as she looks on the SaS website, I really liked their previous ship, the Greek-themed MV Explorer (which has returned to its native Greece and the short-term cruise trade in the Cyclades), so I can't wait to get onboard WO and see how she compares.
