Experience
Student Stories & Mentors
Who better to share the transformative Semester at Sea experience than students themselves? You can chat with recent alumni directly via our Global Ambassador Program or Diversity Peer Mentor Program, or you can scroll below and explore more student stories!
Global Ambassador Program
Global Ambassadors are recent alumni who are still enrolled as undergraduate students — possibly at your campus or a campus near you! They are trained to answer questions you may have about the program and share their unique experiences.


Diversity Peer Mentor Program
Before and after each voyage, SAS can connect recent alumni with prospective voyagers who share similar identities. This is designed to be an informal mentoring program to share personal voyage experiences. Although we cannot guarantee to meet all mentorship requests, we will do our best to pair as many mentors and mentees as possible.

Introducing our third Through The Lens Feature for Voyage 138, Michael Kurschat, a finance major at Montana State University.
“I just enjoy taking raw photos, I don’t want to pose anyone. I want to capture authentic emotions, good or bad, and look back on it as a moment in time. I use scale and perspective to show the magnitude of the environment and build a story through layers and colors by muting or exaggerating some aspects. I want to capture the moment exactly how it happened, and in post, I’ll edit the photo exactly how I saw it in that moment.”

Four days exploring the Amazon! 🌿🇧🇷
Voyagers headed deep into the rainforest to experience the Amazon up close, from seeing the Meeting of the Waters to trekking through the jungle and spotting wildlife after dark.
Along the way, they learned survival skills from local guides, discovered native plants, and visited a local community to learn more about life and traditions in the Amazon.
An adventure full of new experiences, incredible wildlife, and a whole new appreciation for one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. #semesteratsea #voyage138 #sasfa26
