Explore destinations around the world with Blue Hen alumni, family and friends! The UD Alumni Association (UDAA) holds regular travel opportunities that celebrate the University’s values and strong study abroad traditions through an alumni travel program. 
 

These trips provide a rich travel experience thanks to their educational character, unique access to special events and, most importantly, traveling with your fellow Blue Hens. 

“I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of domestic and international travel, but 95% of the time I’ve done the planning and worrying that all will go well. It’s going to be nice to sit back, relax and know that the touring company has an expansive network of resources and talent. Plus, I’ve always found having local guides such an experience enhancer and this tour provides that!”
