We're looking forward to more travel in 2023. "Shades of Ireland" is already sold out!

Our September Canadian Rockies trip has been a huge success! One more Collette trip to go for 2022, the cruise down the Danube and Christmas Markets. This trip is now sold out, I am so into the terrific Christmas gifts we will find there. I’m your UC escort on this trip and can hardly wait! Thank you once again to all those retirees, friends and families who have made our travel group so successful. And also for being “repeat travelers” on our trips.

Where  has the summer gone? Football season is almost here! (I come from a total sports family.)

Our second big trip is coming up September 4-12, Canadian Rockies by Train. Would you believe we have 25 UC retirees /friends and family on this trip? I will be the UC escort on this adventure and I can hardly wait! I have heard from so many of the travelers and excitement is in the air.

Please join us on our next end of the year trip: December 2-10, Danube River Cruise and Christmas Markets. There are only a few cabins left. Please see gateway.gocollette.com/link/1055724.  

Our 2023 trips are filling fast!

It's happening! Our trips are filling up! Thanks to all of you. In fact, there has been so much interest in our Canadian Rockies by Train that we are thinking of doing it again in 2023, for those that couldn’t go this year.

While most 2022 trips are full, there is space on all the 2023 trips. Please see the listings on the main travel page for more information and booking. Remember these are all inclusive trips, air fare, hotel, most meals, most excursions with Collette Travel.

I will be off on the Canadian Rockies trip in September as your UC tour guide. So looking forward to meeting more UC travelers!
