Peace Boat is now sailing across the high seas from Iceland to New York City, carrying onboard conversations, experiences, and ideas nurtured during our global voyage! On October 18–19, our ship will dock in Manhattan, and Peace Boat US will host a series of onboard gatherings focused on ocean protection, climate action, peace and the arts.
On October 18, the 30×30 Ocean Impact Dinner will bring together ocean leaders, impact investors, family offices, and the Peace Boat community to explore support for ocean conservation and climate action. Against the backdrop of the UN Ocean Decade, the evening will provide space to connect ocean commitments with the partnerships and resources needed to move them forward.
The following day, Peace Boat and UPEACE NY, together with partner organizations, will host Sailing for the SDGs on October 19, featuring an Artist Showcase for Peace. Through contributions from speakers working in art, culture, peace, and sustainability, alongside youth-led initiatives, the gathering will explore how creative expression can inspire awareness and dialogue. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view the outreach edition of the Nobel Peace Center’s exhibition, A Message to Humanity, highlighting the work of 2024 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nihon Hidankyo and Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata.
Together, these events connect Peace Boat’s work for peace with the urgent need to protect our ocean and climate, creating opportunities for exchange and collaboration toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Both events are by invitation only, with advance registration required.
