SOLD OUT-Alumni and Friends Travel Program: Southeast Alaskan Cruise Trip 1
Friday, July 24 – Friday, July 31 CDT
Our July 24-31 trip has met capacity. We are working to get a second option available July 1017, 2026.
The Alumni & Friends Travel Program is your ticket to unforgettable adventures that combine travel’s thrill with fellow Redbirds’ camaraderie.
In the summer of 2026, Redbirds can fly north from July 24-31 to take in the beauty of Alaska from the deck of a ship. Set out on an unforgettable Alaskan adventure where history, culture, and nature collide in breathtaking harmony. Immerse yourself in the stories of the Last Frontier at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau and connect with the vibrant spirit of Petersburg, a town rich in fishing heritage and small-town charm. Witness nature’s wonders unfold before your eyes—from glaciers calving into icy waters to whales breaching and sea otters at play. Explore the pristine beauty of Glacier Bay National Park, an untouched wilderness teeming with wildlife, and journey along the historic Petersburg Creek Trail surrounded by lush, awe-inspiring scenery. Whether tracing the paths of past explorers on guided hikes or gliding across the water on skiff excursions, every moment promises discovery and wonder in Alaska’s wild heart.
This program is open to all alumni, family, and friends—because the Redbird spirit knows no borders. To learn more about upcoming trips, detailed itineraries, and how to reserve your place, visit illinoisstate.orbridge.com
