Socially and Environmentally Responsible Tourism Peace Boat strives to practice a progressive form of travel which aims to benefit people and communities at the local level as well as create a more meaningful and educational travel experience based on people-to-people exchange. The ship is more than just a means of transport. Sea travel allows us to experience the freedom of our blue planet. This precious space beyond borders offers a unique environment to reflect on the world's fragile beauty, as well as build lasting bonds for action with fellow travelers. Exchange programs will take place in a variety of locations and include diverse topics such as peace education, sustainable development, eco-tourism and climate action.
