Group travel
Travel Planning for Auburn Alumni and Families, from a Fellow Graduate
Travel together, long after the last class.
I’m Grace Byrd Morris, a 1995 graduate of Auburn University’s College of Liberal Arts. I specialize in small-ship and river cruises for alumni, classmates, friends, and families, and I also plan land journeys before and after your cruise. Standalone land journeys are available on request.

Who are these group trips for?
I plan for groups of eight or more travelers, including classmates, alumni, friends, and families. The common thread can be a graduation year, a friendship, a family milestone, or simply the wish to make time for one another. The $6,000 per-person trip minimum applies.
What kind of journey could your group take?
A river cruise offers relaxed days and easy gathering spaces. A small ship brings an intimate atmosphere and distinctive ports. I can add time on land before or after your cruise, with standalone land journeys available on request. I help your group choose the format that suits its interests, energy, and preferred pace.
How do you make group planning easier?
Group trips involve more voices and more moving parts. I begin with the organizer, clarify the shared priorities, and build a clear planning path. My planning fee starts at $250 per person, depending on the complexity of your trip. Our first consultation is free. The fee is due only after we both decide to move forward, before I begin designing your trip. When you book your trip with me, the full planning fee is credited toward the cost of your trip.
Why plan with a fellow Auburn graduate?
I understand the friendships and traditions that can begin in Auburn and continue for decades. As a College of Liberal Arts graduate from the class of 1995, I bring that shared connection alongside more than four years of travel advising and firsthand experience across 32 countries.
What do clients say?
“Grace got right back to my sister and I and quickly responded to questions and really listened to us, as to where we wanted to be on the ship.”
Frequently asked questions
Who can join an alumni group trip?
A group may bring together classmates, friends, spouses, and family members. The shared connection matters more than everyone having attended in the same year.
How large does the group need to be?
I plan group travel for eight or more travelers. The $6,000 per-person trip minimum applies to every group journey.
What kinds of trips work well for alumni groups?
I specialize in small-ship and river cruises for groups, with land journeys before and after your cruise. Standalone land journeys are available on request.
How does the group begin planning?
One organizer can complete the planning form. I will follow up to understand the group, timing, shared interests, and decision-making process.
