I was a student on the spring 2024 Semester at Sea voyage. We sailed to Thailand, Malaysia, India, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Ghana, Morocco, Portugal, and Germany. I aim to answer all your questions about Semester at Sea!

My Experience
I was on Semester at Sea voyage 133 during spring 2024. We sailed on the MV World Odyssey to Thailand, Malaysia, India, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Ghana, Morocco, Portugal, and Germany. Before my voyage, I remember looking at pictures from previous SASers and thinking Semester at Sea was idyllic bliss. Of course, nothing is as perfect as it seems on social media, so I am sharing the unfiltered reality about my experience on Semester at Sea.
