Struggling to Return Home During the Pandemic

“If you choose to travel internationally, your travel plans may be severely disrupted, and you may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite time frame.” – U.S. State Department

Three Worlds, One Voyage is the vivid, first-hand account of a small expedition cruise to Antarctica in March 2020 just as the Coronavirus exploded across the globe. The author/speaker recounts the real-life challenge of finding a way home as the virus spreads, reports of sick cruise ships grow, international flight cancellations multiply, and port after port turn the ship away. The engrossing narrative -complete with slides – is filled with wildlife and incredible views while tracking the extended voyage as passengers questions like:

    Will the ship be stranded at sea?
    Will passengers be quarantined in Argentina?
    Will the U.S. let its own citizens back into the country?
    Will all passengers be required to sail on to Europe?
