Education Sponsor

An Education Sponsor may choose to be recognized for sponsoring a selected subject within the onboard Education Program.

Students and adults will have the opportunity to actively participate in sailing and shipboard activities. Elementary, secondary and post-secondary students at colleges and universities will participate in the context of school-based academic programs with Ministry of Education guidelines.

Adults interested in historic, socio-economic, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary themes can share in community development through interactive special events with municipal agencies and youth service organizations.
