Travel is truly an enriching part of our lives. It allows us to connect with new worlds, new friends
and each other. You discover the unexpected, and experience once-in-a-lifetime journeys. At the
Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, we’ve spent 52+ years planning, perfecting and executing extraordinary, exclusive trips for the Wolverine traveler. Trips you’d expect from, and for, the
Leaders and Best. We open doors others cannot. Group sizes are intimate for maximum enjoyment by
all. And because you’re travelling with fellow U-M alums, you have a bond between you even before you
ever step foot on a plane. And a bond that is surely strengthened by the time you return home.
Every trip has been carefully thought out so that you can enjoy the best it has to offer. Here are a
few of the highlights you can expect from us.
Convenience — Our experience pays off. Every detail is planned out and taken care of for you. All
you have to do is pack your bag. The hard part will be selecting a trip.
Educational Enrichment — All trips include educational content. You will learn from the
Leaders and Best by hearing lectures by U-M faculty and staff traveling with your group.
Exclusive Michigan Explorations — Many of our tours are limited to fewer than 25 Michigan
travelers, allowing for spontaneous encounters and a degree of independence in remote areas of the
world.
Camaraderie — Once you experience an U-M alumni trip you will find there is nothing better
than connecting with and sharing your travel experiences with fellow Wolverines. U-M alums share a
level of passion for travel that is unmatched by other institutions or groups.
Details about this trip, as well as others in our travel collection, are available on our website at

Travel is truly an enriching part of our lives. It allows us to connect with new worlds, new friends
and each other. You discover the unexpected, and experience once-in-a-lifetime journeys. At the
Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, we’ve spent 52+ years planning, perfecting and executing extraordinary, exclusive trips for the Wolverine traveler. Trips you’d expect from, and for, the
Leaders and Best. We open doors others cannot. Group sizes are intimate for maximum enjoyment by
all. And because you’re travelling with fellow U-M alums, you have a bond between you even before you
ever step foot on a plane. And a bond that is surely strengthened by the time you return home.
Every trip has been carefully thought out so that you can enjoy the best it has to offer. Here are a
few of the highlights you can expect from us.
Convenience — Our experience pays off. Every detail is planned out and taken care of for you. All
you have to do is pack your bag. The hard part will be selecting a trip.
Educational Enrichment — All trips include educational content. You will learn from the
Leaders and Best by hearing lectures by U-M faculty and staff traveling with your group.
Exclusive Michigan Explorations — Many of our tours are limited to fewer than 25 Michigan
travelers, allowing for spontaneous encounters and a degree of independence in remote areas of the
world.
Camaraderie — Once you experience an U-M alumni trip you will find there is nothing better
than connecting with and sharing your travel experiences with fellow Wolverines. U-M alums share a
level of passion for travel that is unmatched by other institutions or groups.
Details about this trip, as well as others in our travel collection, are available on our website at

Travel is truly an enriching part of our lives. It allows us to connect with new worlds, new friends
and each other. You discover the unexpected, and experience once-in-a-lifetime journeys. At the
Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, we’ve spent 52+ years planning, perfecting and executing extraordinary, exclusive trips for the Wolverine traveler. Trips you’d expect from, and for, the
Leaders and Best. We open doors others cannot. Group sizes are intimate for maximum enjoyment by
all. And because you’re travelling with fellow U-M alums, you have a bond between you even before you
ever step foot on a plane. And a bond that is surely strengthened by the time you return home.
Every trip has been carefully thought out so that you can enjoy the best it has to offer. Here are a
few of the highlights you can expect from us.
Convenience — Our experience pays off. Every detail is planned out and taken care of for you. All
you have to do is pack your bag. The hard part will be selecting a trip.
Educational Enrichment — All trips include educational content. You will learn from the
Leaders and Best by hearing lectures by U-M faculty and staff traveling with your group.
Exclusive Michigan Explorations — Many of our tours are limited to fewer than 25 Michigan
travelers, allowing for spontaneous encounters and a degree of independence in remote areas of the
world.
Camaraderie — Once you experience an U-M alumni trip you will find there is nothing better
than connecting with and sharing your travel experiences with fellow Wolverines. U-M alums share a
level of passion for travel that is unmatched by other institutions or groups.
Details about this trip, as well as others in our travel collection, are available on our website at

Travel is truly an enriching part of our lives. It allows us to connect with new worlds, new friends
and each other. You discover the unexpected, and experience once-in-a-lifetime journeys. At the
Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, we’ve spent 52+ years planning, perfecting and executing extraordinary, exclusive trips for the Wolverine traveler. Trips you’d expect from, and for, the
Leaders and Best. We open doors others cannot. Group sizes are intimate for maximum enjoyment by
all. And because you’re travelling with fellow U-M alums, you have a bond between you even before you
ever step foot on a plane. And a bond that is surely strengthened by the time you return home.
Every trip has been carefully thought out so that you can enjoy the best it has to offer. Here are a
few of the highlights you can expect from us.
Convenience — Our experience pays off. Every detail is planned out and taken care of for you. All
you have to do is pack your bag. The hard part will be selecting a trip.
Educational Enrichment — All trips include educational content. You will learn from the
Leaders and Best by hearing lectures by U-M faculty and staff traveling with your group.
Exclusive Michigan Explorations — Many of our tours are limited to fewer than 25 Michigan
travelers, allowing for spontaneous encounters and a degree of independence in remote areas of the
world.
Camaraderie — Once you experience an U-M alumni trip you will find there is nothing better
than connecting with and sharing your travel experiences with fellow Wolverines. U-M alums share a
level of passion for travel that is unmatched by other institutions or groups.
Details about this trip, as well as others in our travel collection, are available on our website at
umalumni.com/travel. Have questions? Our travel team is happy to assist you at 855.764.0064 or at

Travel is truly an enriching part of our lives. It allows us to connect with new worlds, new friends
and each other. You discover the unexpected, and experience once-in-a-lifetime journeys. At the
Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, we’ve spent 52+ years planning, perfecting and executing extraordinary, exclusive trips for the Wolverine traveler. Trips you’d expect from, and for, the
Leaders and Best. We open doors others cannot. Group sizes are intimate for maximum enjoyment by
all. And because you’re travelling with fellow U-M alums, you have a bond between you even before you
ever step foot on a plane. And a bond that is surely strengthened by the time you return home.
Every trip has been carefully thought out so that you can enjoy the best it has to offer. Here are a
few of the highlights you can expect from us.
Convenience — Our experience pays off. Every detail is planned out and taken care of for you. All
you have to do is pack your bag. The hard part will be selecting a trip.
Educational Enrichment — All trips include educational content. You will learn from the
Leaders and Best by hearing lectures by U-M faculty and staff traveling with your group.
Exclusive Michigan Explorations — Many of our tours are limited to fewer than 25 Michigan
travelers, allowing for spontaneous encounters and a degree of independence in remote areas of the
world.
Camaraderie — Once you experience an U-M alumni trip you will find there is nothing better
than connecting with and sharing your travel experiences with fellow Wolverines. U-M alums share a
level of passion for travel that is unmatched by other institutions or groups.
Details about this trip, as well as others in our travel collection, are available on our website at
umalumni.com/travel. Have questions? Our travel team is happy to assist you at 855.764.0064 or at
