Seven places to explore with fellow Ducks this year
With the successful reintroduction of alumni travel in the 2021-2022 season, the UO Alumni Association (UOAA) has announced its alumni travel destination line-up for 2023.
Through the program, alumni Ducks have travelled across the United States and the world, exploring places like Greece, Italy, Egypt, and America’s national parks. This season, destinations include The Galapagos Islands, Alaska, Portugal, and multi-country cruises around the world.
“We are very excited for our alumni to travel with us in the 2023 season,” said Raphe Beck, executive director of the UOAA.
The UOAA’s premier travel partners include Go Next, AHI, and Orbridge. Each of these partners have developed enhanced safety protocols in response to the pandemic and are ready to welcome University of Oregon alumni and friends to travel.
“Safety has been the number one priority for both the UOAA and our travel partners. It is important that our alumni feel safe as they travel with us,” said Beck.
Whether alumni are looking for international travel or a trip closer to home in the US, there is something for everyone this travel season.
From cruising through the South Pacific, to attending The Masters Golf Tournament, to discovering Canada’s Rocky Mountains, and much more, this season’s travel lineup is full of adventure.
