Yes. Travel is a benefit of Alumni Association membership, and we welcome family and friends on our tours. However, all travelers need to be members of the Alumni Association. If you would like to travel with us and are not a member, you can join today.

We always suggest making reservations as early as possible after the trip brochure is available. Some trips sell out very quickly. It is not possible to predict how quickly a trip will sell out. The longer you wait, the greater the chances are that the trip will be filled.

Trip pricing is always based on two people sharing the cost of the hotel room or ship cabin. If you are traveling alone, there is no one else to share in the lodging expense. Therefore, a single traveler must cover this entire cost instead of half.

Please note that the single supplement for a cruise is generally much higher than a land trip since a substantial portion of the total trip cost is the ship cabin. There are no other “extra” fees charged to a single traveler other than the additional lodging cost.

If you would like to request to have a roommate and not pay the single supplement, our tour operators will try to honor requests for roommates, but there is no guarantee that a roommate will be available.

Please visit the Center for Disease Control’s website or contact the tour operator. You should also contact your primary health care physician.

We occasionally offer trips that are designed especially for families. However, the majority of our trips are best suited for adults. Limited children’s activities will be offered on our non-family trip departures. If you are interested in traveling with children, please contact our travel staff or the tour operator to find out if a particular trip is appropriate for children.

Yes. For the majority of our trips, a “Land Only” option is available. This will allow you make your own flight arrangements. However, if you are not traveling with the group, you will be responsible for the cost and arrangement of the airport transfers during the trip.

Once the tour operator has received your registration, you will receive detailed information regarding a suggested reading list, packing list, background information on the countries you will be visiting, currency requirements, and any other information you might need.
