About Cornell Alumni Travel

Cornell Alumni Travel has been providing domestic and international group travel opportunities for alumni, family, and friends of the university for over 40 years. Let us manage your logistics so you are free to philosophize, stargaze, photograph, and muse over the experience, all the while enjoying rich conversations with fellow Cornellian travelers of diverse backgrounds and multiple perspectives. Cornell Alumni tours may be accompanied by a Cornell staff member. Your group will be led by an expert tour director from one of our award-winning travel partners and feature local guides. And of course, Big Red conviviality is a hallmark of every trip.

Look for “CAU” (Cornell’s Adult University) to learn about tours that feature Cornell faculty.
Look for “CAU Select” for tours that feature faculty from peer institutions (not Cornell).
