Early Registration Process
Plans are being made for our 2019 trip to the Alpine countries! Download the preliminary itinerary for details. You will note that the dates are July 20-31, 2019. We are unable to secure and confirm airfare pricing until a later date. However, the ESTIMATED PACKAGE PRICE is $4,995 per person, including airfare from Minneapolis/St. Paul.
There has been tremendous interest in the MSU Alumni Association's previous trips to Norway, Italy, and Alaska. Our friends at Brekke Tours expect this tour will sell out quickly, thus we are starting to take early registrations. A fully refundable $400 per person deposit (paid by check) will secure your place on the tour. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once the 2019 trip is finalized (approximately 10-11 months prior to departure), Brekke Tours will send you the confirmed, priced itinerary, the terms and conditions, as well as information regarding airfare and travel insurance. You will be asked to confirm your tour registration.
For your information, it is possible to request estimated airfare supplements for alternative travel dates and departure and return cities. Please note your request on the Early Registration Form. If you prefer to make your own air arrangements, please ensure that the tour is guaranteed to operate before making reservations.
Once you are advised of the confirmed itinerary and price, you will then have two weeks to cancel. Should you cancel, you will receive a full refund of your trip deposit. Upon acceptance of the confirmed itinerary and price, your deposit of $400 per person become non-refundable.
