The number of Penn State travelers on a trip can range from six to forty-five, but is typically somewhere in between. Other travel programs include groups from other colleges and universities in addition to our Penn Staters. Even when participation is very low, our trips generally do not cancel. However, in rare cases, our travel vendor is unable to meet minimum requirements to operate the trip and may be forced to cancel. In the event that a trip is canceled by the travel company, all funds paid to the travel company will be refunded.
Most flights are regular scheduled service with reputable international carriers.
Occasionally, the travel company will charter a plane for a particular trip. Sometimes the cruise ships are chartered by the travel company as well. Penn State travel brochures are generally mailed to individuals who have made recent inquiries regarding our travel program, or who have taken a trip with us in the past three years. Travel brochures are also sent to alumni within specific graduation years based on selection criteria provided by our vendors. You may also request to be added or deleted from our mailing list by going to the brochure request form in the travel section of the Penn State website.
