Connecting Oceans, Nature and Wellness
Deepen your knowledge of the oceans on this ten-day, science-focused cruise at sea, and enrich your wellbeing at the same time.
Understanding our oceans
As you sail from Nova Scotia to Panama, you’ll be able to take part in an engaging programme of hands-on lectures, workshops and classes that cover topics like marine biology and the history of sea navigation from the Vikings till now.
Learn from enthusiastic Expedition Team members, handpicked for their expertise, and use microscopes in the ship’s Science Center to explore the ocean’s hidden ecosystem. There will also be Citizen Science projects to sink your teeth into, connected to important live research worldwide.
Finding inner peace
It’s not all facts and figures though. Rest and relaxation are important too. Take many a moment to just stop, watch the waves, reflect, and enjoy some precious ‘me time’.
To help you reset mind, body, and soul, there will be daily yoga and meditation classes on board, run by wellness professionals. These sessions promise to have you feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready for your next adventure.
By the end of your journey, you might find you’ll leave the ship a different person to when you first boarded; spirits lifted and a mind bursting with new knowledge.
