Our alumni travel programme is well into its third decade, helping curious travellers to explore the globe
In 2020, opportunities to travel may have ground to a halt but we are crossing our fingers that in 2021 we will be able to indulge our inner sense of wanderlust again. Our tour operator partners have put together a programme of trips for 2021, but of course will be monitoring the evolving situation and ensuring that official advice and FCO travel guidelines are followed. If you have any questions about how the trips will be operated and any measures that will be implemented, the tour operator responsible for the trip would be delighted to hear from you. We hope you are inspired by our selection of trips and thank you for supporting our alumni community! You can view our travel archive here.
Why travel with us?
Intellectual stimulation
Our trips offer a bespoke educational travel experience, with unique itineraries specifically designed for alumni by our experienced tour operator partners. Tours are designed to give an in-depth understanding of the history, culture, landscapes, flora and fauna of a destination.
Expert trip scholars
Travel in the company of an expert trip scholar who will offer interesting and unique insights into the destinations and sites visited and give lectures on their area of research. Trip scholars are involved in developing the itinerary so you are guaranteed to visit the most relevant and interesting sites, and they often provide our groups with exclusive access to places not usually open to the public.
Small groups of alumni
Groups are usually small, with a maximum of approximately twenty people, giving you the chance to travel in congenial company with other alumni. The majority of trips are run jointly with the University of Cambridge, and the families and friends of the alumni community are also welcome.
Support alumni outreach
For every booking on an Oxford Journeys trip, the University Alumni Office receives a contribution from the tour operator which goes towards supporting resources and activities for Oxford alumni.
