Join Professor Michael Shin, an expert on contemporary Italian society, politics and culture, on this eight-night Italian adventure. From Bologna’s storied university and porticoes to Parma’s lauded cathedral, charming medieval villages and beautiful country farms, these wondrous destinations will seduce all your senses.
Aboard Ponant’s intimate Le Bougainville, explore the Greek ports Delos, Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes and Santorini. One of the highlights is a visit to the scenic wonder of Meteora, where 14th and 15th century Orthodox monasteries crown soaring sandstone cliffs. In Turkey, visit Ephesus, the most spectacularly preserved Greco Roman city in the world. Only a handful of cabins remain on this small-ship cruise at the best time of year.

“I can’t recommend this destination enough if you have not been. Japan is a land of delicate art and bustling commerce, of rich traditions and friendly people. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit last year, and plan to go back again in the future. All of our 2024 Japan tours sold out, so secure your 2025 space now before it is gone!”

TRAVELER'S MOMENT
Travelers: Marsha ’69 and Andy ’70 Lewis Number of Trips With UCLA Alumni Travel: 7 First Trip: East African Safari (1976) Most Recent Trip: Total Solar Eclipse in Texas (2024) A Favorite Memory: “Some of our favorite travel memories include: hearing lion cubs and their mother outside our room in Kenya, going behind the scenes at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, learning from Professor Efrain Kristal’s lectures in Spain and Portugal, observing wolves in Yellowstone National Park in the cold winter, walking along the Mekong River in Vietnam, and shouting for joy when the clouds parted so we could observe the totality of the solar eclipse in Texas last month. We are also looking forward to viewing the Aurora Borealis in Iceland with a hearty bunch of UCLA Alumni travelers in November. With these adventures along with a good bed, great food, much laughter and the 8-clap, there is no better way to explore than with UCLA Alumni Travel.”
