Semester at Sea, I don’t even know how to describe it perfectly in a few words. This experience you will embark on is life changing to say the least. I know this may sound cliche but anyone who has gone on this journey would hands down agree with me. 12+ countries, 300+ friends, and living on a ship for 4 months, how could that not change your life??? BUT, I do remember the stress and anxiety I felt before embarking on my journey, the unknown, the countless hours searching through YouTube and TikTok trying to find any piece of recommendation I could and combine it all together. Well lucky for you those days are over. Here in this blog you are going to find anything and everything you need to know about preparing yourself for Semester at Sea. And you have my word, if I leave something out that you are confused about please feel free to reach out to me via DM on Instagram elli_mcgowan.
So let’s jump right into packing, in my opinion the most stressful part about this voyage before embarking. I have curated extensive packing lists during my voyage that I altered based on things I wish I would have brought/wouldn’t have brought.
Packing: Here is your list!
