Classical Conversations invites your family to set sail on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas for the 2027 National Commencement, a unique, joy-filled celebration for graduating students and the families who supported them every step of the way.
A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Classical Conversations Foundation to support their global mission work.

National Commencement is a beautiful celebration of your graduate’s journey that includes a ceremony, celebration, and fun.
