The ship is full of many diverse scientists from around the world. The primary language is English, but you can also hear French, German, Russian, and Spanish being spoken on board! We even have a “word of the day” board where we translate various ocean-inspired words into different languages!
No money! The only currency is curiosity and love!
Water is free! The ship can produce its own water as it’s moving! There are no water bottles, but many taps that we use with our personal water bottles.
All the meals have been amazing but my favorite was a Sumac-crusted roast chicken with confit garlic potatoes. I didn’t even know what that was before I ate it, but it was incredible! My favorite dessert was sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
I made a playlist specifically for this trip with a lot of ocean and antarctic-themed songs! I’ve been jamming out to that all week! One of my favorite songs off of the playlist is “El Botecito” by Los Hijos de Pueblo, which means “Little Boat” and is a fun dance song!
