When people finish their trip on a Princess cruise, they often take back more than just memories and souvenirs. Princess has a cool program called ScholarShip@Sea, where passengers can learn new things during the trip, like making ceramics, and bring those skills home with them.
Cooking classes on Princess cruise ships are fun and exciting. Experts and the ship's chefs show you how to make delicious dishes in a kitchen that looks like ones on TV cooking shows. You'll learn the tricks to cooking many tasty meals and get recipes to try at home. They also have events for tasting different wines and teaching you how to host parties at home.
The artsy part of the ScholarShip@Sea program has lots of classes about art. On every ship, there's a cool activity where people can paint on ceramic stuff like tiles, mugs, and picture frames. These things get heated up in special ovens on the ship. On two specific ships, Coral Princess and Island Princess, there's an even bigger pottery program. People can learn how to make pottery from scratch with experts showing them how to use their hands and a spinning wheel to create awesome things.
Photography classes during the trip will let people learn from experts about taking great travel photos. They'll also get to join courses on basic photo skills and using digital cameras.
People who want to get better at using computers can join informative sessions on general computer technology. They can attend larger classes or opt for smaller, personalized ones. The topics range from basic computer skills like Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, or Excel to creating a personal web page, surfing the internet, and editing digital pictures.
Some new programs on the cruise ship offer different things to do. If you want to plan great parties, you can learn from an expert. If you're interested in how ships find their way, there's a program about navigation. You can also learn to make fancy drinks or explore the stars with a telescope. And there's even a program about art history, talking about famous artists from long ago until now.
Apart from the main topics, when you go sailing, there are extra classes or talks about things like the history of the sea, art, science, politics, food, maps, staying healthy, and cooking. Lots of specialists like writers, space travelers, nature experts, people who help with personal growth, history buffs, and more will give these interesting talks.
