Who is Varsity Voyages?
Varsity Voyages is a specialty brand of River and Vine Travel, created to focus specifically on school and alumni‑oriented journeys. Robert, the owner, began working in the travel industry in 1986 and brings decades of first‑hand experience to every itinerary. As a Certified Cruise Counselor with CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), Robert combines professional training with a deep understanding of group cruise dynamics. Each custom group is personally overseen from first idea to final sail date, so alumni and schools know their travel and fundraising experiences are handled with care and attention.
What Do you Design?
We design small‑group cruises and tours for:
- High‑school and college alumni classes
- School foundations and parent associations
- Faith‑connected communities that want travel without heavy programming
These voyages are:
- Intimate in size
- Itinerary‑driven (Great Lakes, Europe, pilgrimages, etc.)
- Built with a clear fundraising component for the school/organization
Why Does it Matter?
Alumni travel matters because it keeps classmates connected to one another and to their school’s mission, turning a single trip into both a shared memory and a concrete way to give back through per‑person donations. Varsity Voyages focuses on creating mature, meaningful experiences—calm ships, thoughtful itineraries, and time to truly talk—rather than generic party trips. By handling all the logistics, from planning to payment and communication, Varsity Voyages allows schools and class committees to enjoy the journey and the impact without taking on the work themselves.
