Hi Basadi! The Institute of Shipboard Education (also known as Semester at Sea) hires a bunch of staff for every voyage. Most of the positions are faculty, but they also hire student life staff and a number of different administrative positions. Here's the link to their hiring page: www.semesteratsea.org/employment/
Apologies for the untimely response! Yes - when Resident Directors were not on duty, we were free to do whatever we wanted! We had the option to sign up for the ships organized trips (which were kind of like cruise ship excursions) or to travel independently. I did a mix of both!
hey kaity!! is there a way to confirm which stamp they’re giving you as you’re getting your passport stamped? i’m going on the trip in spring 2022 and i really don’t want that to happen to me haha!
Hey Margaret! Congrats on your upcoming voyage!! You are going to have the time of your life! This incident was a big mistake made by one of the customs official from the country we were in and was super irregular. While its always good to expect the unexpected when traveling internationally, I wouldn't worry about this particular issue. The Semester at Sea staff does a great job at organizing the customs processes for each process and this was just an unfortunate error!
Hi! Just wanted to ask, what other jobs are available on the ship? Is there HR? If so, how would one apply for that job?

Are you able to get off the ship (on days you are not on duty) and be able to walk around, tour the different countries alongside with the students?
