If you are thinking about traveling in the near future but aren’t settled on where, PC’s Friar Explorations Alumni Travel Program might have the answer. Four trips, including three to Europe, are planned in 2018 and 2019.

The travel program is a fun way to connect with alumni, family, and friends, and trips offer unique learning opportunities for “beyond the classroom” experiences. Upcoming destinations follow:

La Belle France River Cruise (Oct. 24-Nov. 1, 2018)
This trip down the Seine on the luxurious Lueftner Cruise ship will be hosted by Jim Hagan ’58 and Joe Brum ’68.

Cuba (Feb. 10-18, 2019)
The journey to this beautiful Caribbean destination will be based in Havana but will branch out to other parts of the island.

Swiss Alps (including Fribourg) (June 19-27, 2019)
With special appeal to alumni who once studied there, this excursion to Switzerland will be highlighted by a memorable visit to Fribourg in honor of the 40th anniversary of this foundational study abroad location.

Ireland (including Westport) (Oct. 15-23, 2019) 
The west coast of Ireland, including the historic town of Westport, will be a featured destination on this trip to one of the most colorful countries in Europe.
