Welcome to Sea Courses Cruises - specialists in creating the ideal cruise conference. Physician owned and operated, we are recognized as leaders in health care conferences at sea. Our courses cover a wide range of specialties in medicine and dentistry. The programs are designed to provide education with plenty of practical take-home tips, to create opportunities for networking between faculty and participants, and to foster health, wellness, and rejuvenation.

Since our first voyage in 1995, Sea Courses has provided over 140 CME cruise conferences visiting the seven continents and the seven seas. Physicians find it increasingly difficult to have time to travel to cities for their education – but a CME cruise allows everyone to combine their education with a family vacation.

Research by Sea Courses indicates there are two major advantages of a cruise-based conference. (1) Interprofessional learning: Very few land-based conferences offer an opportunity for attendees from a variety of specialties to interact and learn from one another. (2) Longitudinal learning: With the course sessions spread over several days, there is ample opportunity for attendees to interact with faculty and colleagues to discuss individual issues and learning needs.

Yes. The ships provide many amenities for our groups such as private meeting rooms, dining arrangements, cocktail receptions and more. Participants must book their cruise with Sea Courses in order for us to provide these services. It is highly recommended that your family and friends also book with Sea Courses so that they will be able to join you at dinner and be invited to join our complimentary Partner's program.

Yes - all our programs are accredited. The medical conferences are approved for family physicians and specialists from both Canada and USA. Credits available include MainPro M1, MainCert section 1, AAFP, AMA-PRA, and MainPro C. Most dental conferences will offer AGD accreditation. The specific credits for each conference are stated in the course brochure and on the conference webpage.

If you have any questions about a program's accreditation please contact our office at 1-888-647-7327 or cruises@seacourses.com.

As long as you have booked your cruise with Sea Courses there is usually room for one more! But don't delay as some cruises sell out in advance of sailing and our most popular conferences may run out of seats in the meeting room.

Typically the course sessions are scheduled while the cruise ship is at sea - and not while in ports of call. A detailed schedule for each course is available on this website and in the course brochure.

Attendees are asked to sign in for each block of sessions throughout the conference to confirm your attendance. In most cases, the certificate will be distributed at the conclusion of the conference.

Many physicians and dentists attend our programs for the tax and business considerations that may be possible. Sea Courses is not permitted by law to offer specific tax advice and always refers clients to discuss the details with their accountant. The following features of our conferences will assist attendees when considering the tax and business aspects of travel:

•  Live, unbiased, accredited education

•  Cruise-based conferences are considered international in location

•  Networking opportunities between faculty and colleagues

•  Destination Discovery tours – often with local medical content

•  A mix of specialties is always represented at a Sea Courses conference

Each conference has a date when the tuition becomes non-refundable. Please make sure that you have appropriate cancellation insurance coverage that includes the value of the tuition. Your Sea Courses cruise consultant can provide you with insurance details and a quote.
