Life Onboard

Ship Life
A Community Like No Other.
Our Mercy Ships community is unique and special. Compassionate volunteers from all over the world join together, living and working toward a common mission.
Serving with Mercy Ships offers the chance to build friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime. Community life is one of the most rewarding aspects of life onboard.
Not only will your service with Mercy Ships make a difference in the lives of others—it will impact your own life, too.
“I see compassion demonstrated throughout all the crew when it comes to our patients. From the moment they arrive on the dock, until they go home, every part of their journey is greeted with compassion.”
“There are a lot of computer systems that we provide support for, and that’s been an enjoyable and rewarding challenge. You have a sense of being part of something that’s bigger than yourself.“
“My favorite part about teaching in the Africa Mercy Academy is of course the students! They bring so many interesting cultures, views, and languages to the table. I love hearing their perspectives.“
