Welcome Aboard: The Story of Breaker High

Imagine going to high school on a cruise ship! That's the cool idea behind Breaker High. The ship traveled to many different places. This meant each episode could be set in an exciting new location. Even though the show looked like it was filmed all over the world, it was actually filmed in Burnaby, British Columbia.

The show focused on things that happen in high school. This included dating, friendships, and dealing with money. Since it was a daytime show, it kept things light. It didn't get into the really tough situations seen in other teen dramas at night.
