[Cfp-interest] Semester at Sea

[Fred J. Tydeman]

A couple of people wanted more details, so here it is.

Semester at Sea is mostly for college and university students (from
around the world, but mainly USA students) to take a semester of four
classes as they study abroad.  They have Fall and Spring semesters of
around 112 days each on a ship as it travels to various countries.  We
took the Spring 2014 voyage, which was their 50th year celebration.
We had 555 students on our trip.

However, they allow people 40 and older to travel as normal
passengers.  They are allowed to sit in on classes (which we did), but
not required to do so.  They are allowed to attend the evening
lectures (which we did), but not required to.  They can join in on the
ship organized shore excursions (which we did), but are not required
to.  They can do shore travel on their own (which we did).  We had 60
older travelers on our trip.

We went in the cheapest cabins at $10,000 per person for 112 days, or
about $90 / day (which includes room, food, classes, internet).
