2019 TRAVEL CATALOG
FIND THE RIGHT TRIP FOR YOU!
All Northwestern Alumni trips have at least one professional travel director that will lead your journey and handle
the logistical details throughout the trip. Expert local guides and lecturers help interpret the culture and heritage
of the area, bringing added educational value to your journey. While our trips traverse the globe and vary in
itinerary, cost, and structures, here are the most common tour types you will find in this catalog.
Land Journeys
Stay in deluxe accommodations and travel by rail, deluxe motor coach,
day cruiser, or cable car. Each will bring you into contact with the people,
culture, and cuisine of the regions you are visiting.
Small Group: Usually under 28 passengers, these small-group tours
provide an intimate, authentic travel experience with a high level of
personal service.
Immersion Experiences: This type of tour allows travelers to unpack
once and immerse themselves in their host city. Through various included
activities, travelers get to experience life as a local. While travelers have
a home base, they are usually transported by motor coach to different
destinations in the itinerary.
River Journeys
Unpack once as you set sail for ports of call in small towns and quaint
villages. All river journeys include excursions in ports with an expert local
guide. Onboard the river vessel, attend lectures, relax on deck, enjoy the
cuisine, or simply watch the scenery pass by from your cabin. River journeys
typically have 150-200 passengers.
Ocean Journeys
Sail in comfort aboard the world’s very best small-ship cruise lines across
the various oceans of the world. Most ocean journeys include excursions
with local guides. Since our ocean sizes vary, so do our ocean vessels! They
usually range between 100 and 700 passengers.
Expedition Journeys
Not for the faint of heart, our expedition journeys offer our travelers the
chance to get up close and personal with wildlife around the world. From
small ship vessels in the Galapagos or Alaska to high-end lodges on
Tanzanian safaris, these tours are usually smaller in size and have at least
one naturalist throughout your trip.
