Semester at Sea Gets New Ship from 2028
Semester at Sea will operate a new ship from 2028 as part of a long-term partnership between Ambassador Cruise Line and the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE).
The non-profit organization will operate the current Oceania Sirena for approximately eight months each year, Ambassador said.
The British cruise line acquired the 2000-built ship for a new cruise operation in Germany. Renamed the Ambella, the vessel will offer cruises in Europe during summers.
