The recent bankruptcy of both the owners and operators of Peter Deilmann’s ms Deutschland have led to her going to Semester at Sea to replace another German-built ship of similar age. Semester at Sea is in the process of moving away from ship ownership back to ship chartering, as it had been with previous vessels.

With the ms Explorer going to Louis Cruises as their Celestyal Odyssey next month, Semester at Sea was in need of a new vessel and has been looking for some months now.

The Deutschland, which seems likely to be renamed, will be Semester at Sea’s sixth oceangoing campus in its fifty-two year history.

Since 1963, Semester at Sea has used the Europe-Canada Line’s ms Seven Seas, Holland America Line’s ss Ryndam, C Y Tung’s ss Universe (ex-ss Atlantic) and ss Universe Explorer (ex-ss Brasil) and the last Explorer.

The organization's Spring 2016 voyage is scheduled to leave Ensenada, Mexico, on January 5, 2016, and complete in Southampton on April 15, sailing via Honolulu, Japan, Chinese ports, Vietnam, Singapore, Burma, India, Mauritius, South Africa and Ghana.
