Springtime is one of the loveliest times to visit Europe. Next year, join UCLA Alumni Travel on one of three beloved tours.
Venture to Montenegro, a destination less visited filled with old-world architecture and jaw-dropping natural beauty. Or fine tune your culinary skills on our Flavors of Tuscany tour packed with hands-on opportunities. If river cruising is of interest, sail through five countries on the Cruise the Heart of Europe, a 14-day journey starting in Amsterdam and concluding in Budapest.
Over half of our spring 2025 tours are now sold out or almost sold out, so don’t delay to reserve your spot.
On our homepage you’ll find all of our upcoming tours. We’d love to hear from you, so contact us by phone at 310-206-0613 or email at travel@alumni.ucla.edu. We hope to see you on a UCLA Alumni Travel trip in the spring!

In the company of Professor Viktorija Lejko-Lacan, department of Slavic, East European and Eurasian languages and cultures, discover the Dalmatian Coast on this seven night land tour. Spend five nights in Montenegro, a tiny country packed with rich cultural history, and two nights in medieval Dubrovnik, with its impressive city walls constructed between the 13th and 17th centuries.
Explore Tuscany’s colorful cities, and an endearing farm-to-table way of life. Throughout the tour, join hands-on culinary experiences with skilled chefs to learn the secrets of preparing traditional Tuscan cuisine and desserts, as well as partake in a lively cooking class followed by a lovely dinner at Badia a Coltibuono, a historic winery with origins dating back to 1051.
Cultivate epic moments of your travel memoir while cruising along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, passing scenic banks steeped in centuries of history. Gaze at wonderfully preserved architecture in some of Europe’s grandest cities, and unpack only once for your 14-night cruise aboard the first-class MS Amadeus Imperial.
FACULTY FOCUS
Join Professor Pamela Yeh, department of ecology and evolutionary biology, on our Galápagos tour, May 23 – June 1. Professor Yeh’s research focuses on how populations evolve in novel environments, and she conducts work in both the field and the lab. In the field, she examines bird populations in urban and native habitats, with the goal of understanding how birds may be evolving differently in urban areas compared to native environments.
