Travel Programs

As we look forward to planning 2024 travel programs, we want to hear from you! Where do you want to go; what do you want to learn? This winter we'll invite you to vote for the travel destinations you're dreaming of visiting. Scroll through the 2024 travel programs section on this page and review the destinations suggested by our faculty, scholars and travel partners. Then register your vote by clicking the link for those programs you're interested in, and adding your email address for early notification about the program. Voting is open until February 15, 2023. We'll announce our confirmed 2024 programs in March.

The safety of our participants is of the utmost importance to Yale Alumni Academy. Our risk-free booking policy allows you to book with the confidence that you can withdraw from the program should conditions be unfavorable for travel. Unless otherwise listed in the trip’s terms and conditions, any new registrations booked after December 1, 2020, and departing in 2023 may be changed or canceled up to 90 days prior to departure and will receive a full credit or full refund of all deposits. For new cash deposits, a full-cash refund will be offered, for registrations made with credit vouchers, full-credit will be offered. Final payments for all programs are not due until 90 days prior to departure.

Yale Alumni Academy follows the stringent COVID-19 safety protocols established by the University. We therefore re-evaluate the viability of a program at 90 days prior to departure to determine whether it still meets Yale's safety standards. At that point, the University will confirm whether group travel will be possible based on the conditions surrounding international travel and the status of the destination. At that point, we will also notify all registered participants whether Yale will remain an official sponsor of the travel program, and whether the study leader has received final approval to participate. Unless otherwise listed in the trip’s terms and conditions, at the 90-day point, all travelers will have the option to withdraw from a program with no penalty.

This COVID policy does not apply to 2024 travel programs. The terms and conditions for 2024 travel programs will be designated by the tour operator and posted on the program registration web page on our site.
