Abstract

In 2021, a 28-day experiential learning program offered 27 university students an opportunity to sail on a Navy ship and learn about tourism, sustainability, and culture. Experiential education is an educational philosophy that is increasingly popular in the tourism and hospitality sector. This paper overviews the experience, with examples of times when learning took place as well as what students took out of the trip. The overall trip is summarized, and then cultural and practical experience, tourism, and sustainability are discussed. As this educational voyage presented the students with many opportunities for learning in unique environments future programs like this are recommended.
