Cruise
Program Dates: March 1-8, 2026
Ready to take your education beyond the classroom? Join us for a business course that ends with a once-in-a-lifetime cruise adventure! This program combines learning with real-world insight as you explore key business concepts, then step aboard a commercial cruise ship to see those principles in action. From hospitality and logistics to leadership and customer service, you’ll go behind the scenes to discover how a massive floating city runs. Business at Sea is an immersive experience where the ocean becomes your classroom, and every wave brings a new lesson in business operations. Stops will include the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Islands, and Mexico.
