Guillermo joined Peace Boat during its Atlantic Ocean crossing, along with his dance partner, Rebecca. Guillermo is a native of Colombia and teaches Latin dance in Madrid, Spain. He has been dancing for more than twenty years and has been awarded numerous prizes in competitions. Onboard Peace Boat, he and Rebecca taught participants Latin American dance, including salsa and tango. |

Born in Argentina, Rebecca began dancing 14 years ago. She met Guillermo four years ago and says that they both felt as though they had been dancing together for a long time. Her tango lessons were particularly popular onboard, with participants of all ages attending. |

Although Peace Boat’s 48th voyage is not stopping in Greece, participants had the opportunity to experience the culture of this beautiful land during Greek Night. As TSS The Topaz is owned by a Greek company, many of the crew and officers are Greek and welcomed the chance to introduce their culture to participants. Here, participants and crew members dance a traditional Greek dance together. |

Joining Peace Boat from Montego Bay, Jamaica to Callao, Peru were three members of a traditional Peruvian music group, Illai. Here, members Alex and Christian teach Global English/Espanol Training (GET) Programme students a Peruvian song in “Café Latino”, part of GET’s Spanish education programme. |

|
Members of Illai provided participants with workshops in various traditional Peruvian instruments. Participants had the opportunity to make and play their own instruments. Here, Christian teaches a participant the proper way to play the keina, a wooden flute. |

On April 8th, the day before arriving in Peru, participants were treated to a rare event: a solar eclipse. Participants, staff and crew all spent time on deck trying to view the eclipse through a variety of improvised filters. Many learned that you don’t have to be a professional or have special equipment to enjoy photographing a solar eclipse. This photo was taken by holding a piece of regular photographic film over the lens of a low-end digital camera. |
