This voyage will offer the opportunity to experience very different and equally striking scenery around the world, including travel through two types of fjords - the verdant valleys with lush vegetation in Norway and the snow-covered fjords of Alaska with glaciers glistening under sunlight. Applications will remain open through December 2, 2024, close of business JST. Interviews will be conducted online from December 16th-20th JST.

Do you know what's involved?
Peace Boat's onboard language program, GET (Global English/Español Training), is a communication-based program that aims to improve students' confidence and communicative ability in English and/or Spanish through a dynamic combination of onboard classwork, language-based events and activities, and exchange programs in ports of call.
