Officially, the Fall 2013 Semester at Sea voyage covers 115 days, 17 cities, and 15 countries, all centered around the Atlantic Ocean. Of those countries, I've previously been to six of them (England, Germany, France, Spain, Argentina, and Brazil) and Jason has been to two (Spain, Argentina). However, in Germany, France, Spain, and Brazil we'll be visiting different cities and regions than where we were before, so a whole lot of this experience will be totally new for us (not to mention the part where we live on a boat!).
We can also travel to other cities in the countries we visit, and occasionally we have the chance to travel from one port city to another by land instead of sea. When we dock in Antwerp we're planning to travel by train to Gent, Brugge, and Paris before taking the train to Le Havre, France where we will meet and re-board the ship. We'll probably do something similar in Portugal/Spain, Ghana, and Brazil.
People keep asking me which countries I'm most excited to visit and my answer changes every day. Russia, Morocco, South Africa, Brazil, and Cuba are probably my top picks, although there are things I'm looking forward to in every country. Jason is most excited about being in the middle of the ocean and unable to see land! That's probably the part that makes me most nervous! Country-wise he thinks he's most excited for our three stops in Africa. However, past voyagers have told us that it's often the countries you're not as excited about that totally surprise you and become your favorites, so ask us again in December!
