Country-Hopping Educational Cruise to Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom
The Institute for Shipboard Education was born from an idea to create a floating campus that reflected the ideals of the United Nations and the realities of globalization. Over the years, the institute has attracted world-famous guest speakers including Mikhail Gorbachev, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela. The university at sea offers two- and four-week Enrichment Voyages for adventurers of all ages, with educational programming that digs deep into each port of call's culture and history.

The MV Explorer Cruise Ship
The MV Explorer ship retains vestiges of its former life as a commercial liner. There are barstools in the 9,000-volume library, a nod to the space's former role as the ship's tavern. Despite the emphasis on education, the ship provides several opportunities to relax. The Wellness Center spa, for example, offers massages, manicures, and other pampering services.
