The Experience
Eight days of learning, collaboration and discovery across the Mediterranean.
The Cruise School transforms a Mediterranean journey into an international learning environment.
For eight days, participants live, study and work together on board, combining academic activities with interdisciplinary collaboration, professional networking and cultural exploration.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Learning continues beyond scheduled sessions through teamwork, discussions, shared activities and informal exchanges with participants and experts from different countries and disciplines.
The Cruise School creates a setting where academic learning, collaboration and networking naturally extend throughout the entire journey.
Learning On Board and Ashore
Academic activities take place mainly on board Costa Toscana, where lectures, seminars, workshops and collaborative projects are integrated into the rhythm of the voyage.
Days in port provide the opportunity to explore different Mediterranean cities and cultural contexts, combining academic learning with international mobility and travel.
The day at sea offers additional time for intensive academic activities, teamwork and interaction within the Cruise School community.
