Combined Voyages Terms...

Any two consecutive voyages may be joined to form one extended program. In the interim between voyages, shipmates typically return home or may select to travel around the local area. In rare instances, and for an additional fee, students may be invited to stay aboard the vessel over a shorter layover period. Due to the limited number of berths available, Sea|mester is unable to extend discounts to those selecting to combine voyages.

Since a combined voyage is considered an extended, single program, the same withdrawal and refund policies apply, meaning that if a student is dismissed for misconduct early in the trip then no refund of fees paid for the second voyage will be made.

Please contact the Florida Office on 800.317.6789 (941.924.6789) for more information relative to double voyage enrollment, policies and terms.
