More Information

Interested in learning more? Add your name to the interest list so you’ll be notified when full tour details are available; this will be approximately 9-10 months before departure.

Joining the interest list simply means you’ll be notified directly when final plans are set; it does not reserve a spot on the tour. All passengers will be accepted on a first-come basis via our partner, Witte Travel, after tour registration opens.

For questions beyond the interest list, send an inquiry to alumni@calvin.edu.
