A minimum number of participants is required to secure the services of a Notre Dame representative. We make every effort to send a faculty lecturer, priest, or host from Notre Dame on each departure as our travelers tell us this greatly enhances their experience and makes the trip unique. If this is important to you in making your decision to travel with this program, please contact us at alumtrav@nd.edu to confirm that one will accompany the group before making your final payment.
Insurance
Purchasing travel insurance is highly recommended to protect you, your belongings and your travel investment. The University Notre Dame Alumni Association will send you information regarding travel insurance as soon as your reservation is submitted.
