Peace Boat will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2008 and mark the occasion with the first ever Peace Boat visits to Iceland and Greenland.
Sailing in the Norwegian Fjords, Alaska and Greenland, Peace Boat will explore the icy ecosystems threatened by global warming and tackle the economic, political and environmental issues involved in our onboard education programs, while learning from the progressive alternative-energy policies of Iceland.
Other programs will examine the position of indigenous peoples in Greenland, Central America and Canada; the issues of human rights and immigrants in Western Europe, and the Arab-American experience in New York City. A further highlight will be the call to Venezuela, where numerous exchange and study programs with students and community groups will offer the opportunity to examine Chavez’s “Bolivarian Revolution” firsthand.
* Due to vessel's delay and diversion to Florida, the itinerary for this
voyage has been altered. The 62nd Global Voyage will now return to
Yokohama, Japan on September 4, 2008.

Guatemala is the heart of the Maya world. The lasting powers of the Maya are seen in the enigmatic hill top ruins and the blazing colours of the Mayan dress.
Fishing and farming villages were the forerunners of the great Mayan civilization which dominated Central America for centuries. Independence from Spain came in 1821, bringing new prosperity to those of Spanish blood (creoles) and even worse conditions for those of Mayan descent. >>READ MORE |
