World Sea Explorers was founded with passion at its core. We love Lofoten, the ocean and life at sea so much that we want to take care of it and share it with other people. We are on a mission to help people be more happy, healthy, and connected to the seas for the sake of all life on earth. Our vision is a world where animals and people are respected and live in sustainable habitats in harmony with the earth. Our focus on diversity and inclusion is about making S/Y Stella Oceana a great place to be for all people. We focus on diversity because it's the right thing to do. Doing the right thing is how we best serve our guests, so it only makes sense that it is incorporated into our overall business. You can see and feel our commitment from the inside out. Diversity is embedded in the way we think about business and individuals regardless of their race, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability status or any other dimension of diversity. Our distinctive approach to diversity is based on a belief that we each have a personal accountability for acceptance to live in harmony. ....less
