Postcards from Morocco
Where the ship ends and the adventure starts
Camels, dunes, scarves, laughs and a few very photogenic street cats. This is what a few free days in port look like with our team.

Semester at Sea students only get a few days in each port, so every hour counts. This gallery shows what a few free days in Morocco can look like on our private trips: camel caravans crossing the Sahara dunes, group photos in desert scarves, and wandering the blue streets and market stalls along the way. If your ship is calling at Tangier in 2027, see our Semester at Sea tours and the Semester at Sea Morocco 2027 port guide for port dates, routes and how to get back to the ship on time. Send us your voyage and group size on WhatsApp and we will plan your Semester at Sea Morocco trip around the ship’s schedule.
