LIFE- CHANGING JOURNEYS

Cruising the world and interacting with new societies changes your perspective on life, inspiring the expansion of your consciousness. Luxury cruising immerses you in each destination with brilliant adventures centered around cuisine, culture, entertainment, history, nature, sightseeing, voluntourism, and wildlife. Onboard lectures prior to port arrival complement the engaging shore excursions to follow.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ experienced lecturers, for example, explain relevant cultural and historical facts to be aware of when ashore in order to avoid uncomfortable situations. (Did you know that the Japanese consider it rude to blow your nose in public?) Seabourn’s Conversations program invites explorers, scholars, and experts from every field of the arts and sciences to interact and share their experiences with passengers. And Silversea Cruises sails from the isolated jungle regions of Borneo to the aweinspiring Chilean fjords, introducing you to diverse cultures along the way such as Aboriginal Australians.

These enriching programs and experiences prepare you for socializing with people from unfamiliar cultures, sampling foreign cuisine, and seeing new lands — all of which might deepen your understanding of your own culture, happiness, and the rules binding society. In fact, a two-week globetrotting cruise might very well expose you to more people, culture, and life experiences than five years at home.

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” — Mary Ritter Beard
