Here's what people are saying about previous World Academy voyages:
“An around-the-world voyage had been on my must-do list for over twenty years, so I approached this trip with great expectations. All were met or exceeded. I learned more than in any other four-month period in my life. It filled me with wonder, humility and gratitude that I had such a wonderful opportunity. There is no way you could choose for yourself so many varied and fabulous excursions among the endless possibilities in the world.”
–Carolyn from Lexington, KY
“Being away for a long time changes your outlook. After a week or two you leave home behind. You become more open and your personality changes a little bit. You become an explorer!”
— Sarah from Florida
