HARVARD ALUMNI TRAVEL PROGRAMS

DEAR HARVARD ALUMNI TRAVELER,As I celebrate my 10th year as director of Harvard Alumni

Travels, I proudly present this colorful snapshot of the variety

of experiences offered in 2017—trips inspired by you, our

travelers. Since my first trip with the HAA in 2006 on a rail

journey through remote regions of China, I’ve traveled with

over 1,000 members of the diverse alumni community,

forming friendships throughout many journeys.

Our upcoming programming fills me with excitement,

as Harvard continues to innovate, personalize, and push

the envelope with our trips. Come explore the ancient and

modern connections between China and Japan; take a

weeklong seminar exploring Georgia’s wine growing region;

experience a brand new expedition camp near the edge

of the Greenland ice sheet; learn about Barcelona’s culture

through food with Michael Brenner of Harvard’s famous

“Science and Cooking;” or bring the entire family on adven-

tures to Greece, Tanzania, Costa Rica, or Southeast Asia;

and the list goes on.

Harvard Alumni Travels continues to be on the forefront

of travel, as we were with Cuba when “People to People”

programs were reinstated in 2011. We will continue to visit

this fascinating island nation through newly introduced

cruises and our traditional in-depth, land-based cultural

programs.

We are also thrilled to announce, through our partnership

with the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC),

unique trips such as viewing the total solar eclipse in

Wyoming and gorilla trekking in Uganda—and also exclusive

itineraries for HBS alumni featuring more adventurous

activities in remote locations.

More information on each trip can be found in upcoming

individual trip brochures and email announcements, at our

website, or by calling us at 1-800-422-1636.

Thank you for traveling with Harvard Alumni Travels. I look

forward to the alumni I will meet and the amazing places we

will experience together.

Gratefully,

Trearty Bartley

HAA TRAVELS

TEAM

Traveling with Harvard proves you don’t

need to live in Cambridge to remain

part of the Harvard community. The

knowledgeable professors who serve

as study leaders on our trips provide

their academic expertise in addition

to updates about campus happenings.

Programs like Spring Break in Greece

connect you with young alumni and

current undergraduate students

as well as your peers. Traveling with

fellow alumni allows you to see the

world while staying connected.
