August 22nd was the last day for onboard activities. As the students cruised on the way to their final destination of Kobe, they presented at the SDGs Action Challenge showcase, which was a culmination of weeks of hard work and preparation amongst the student groups.

The day ended in celebration, with an onboard summer festival. The students had a chance to wear yukata, dance the obon odori and relax together on deck while listening to traditional festival music.
