All About Road Scholar Afloat: A Unique Cruise Travel Program
Curious about Road Scholar travel programs, but not sure if it's right for you? This episode gives you everything you need to know about the cruise trips (called “Afloat” programs) with Road Scholar, a prestigious non-profit travel company. We hear directly from Zoe Fox-Mailer, Director of Programming at Road Scholar, on exactly how the Adventure Afloat program works — how trips are structured, what a typical day looks like, how the floating campus model creates a real learning experience without feeling like a classroom, and how solo travelers are set up to actually connect with people. If you've ever wondered what separates a Road Scholar cruise from just booking any small ship sailing, this conversation answers that. Then Wendy Baldwin — a Road Scholar veteran with 22+ programs completed — shares what it's actually like to be on these trips as a solo traveler. She's cruised to Holland, Greenland, Scotland, Antarctica, and Norway, with Road Scholar, and she's headed to Patagonia next! More importantly, she was skeptical of group travel before her first program. If you are too, you'll want to hear what changed her mind. By the end of this episode, you'll know whether Road Scholar is the right fit for the way you want to travel.
