Peace Boat's 63rd Global Voyage for Peace will depart from Yokohama, Japan on September 7, 2008, from where it will spend 103 days travelling around the world. After visiting various ports in Asia and Africa, the voyage will pass through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea, where it will make a first time visit to the Italian city of Palermo. From Barcelona, the voyage will spend over a month travelling through various Spanish speaking nations and observing firsthand the political changes currently developing in Latin America. Here Peace Boat will also make its first ever visit to the Dominican Republic. Ending its Spanish leg at Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Chile), the voyage will make its way through the South Pacific before returning to Japan on December 18, 2008.

NEW! Short programmes for travelers who want to experience the amazing and unique opportunities found only on our ship, but who can't make a commitment to a full 3-month voyage, now available on the 63rd voyage. See here for more details.

A very special project will take place on Peace Boat's 63rd Global Voyage. 100 Hibakusha (Atomic Bomb Survivors) of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been invited to join the three-month global journey to share their testimonies of the experience of the atomic bomb with people around the world. See more details and regular updates from the ship here.
