Dear Alumni and Friends of USD,Join President Jim Harris, along with a small group of USD alumni and friends, for a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of the Passion Play in Oberammergau and a charming river cruise. Performed during years ending in zero, the 42nd Oberammergau Passion Play will leave you breathless. It is a tradition maintained and performed with almost no interruptions for nearly 400 years, in a village situated at the edge of the Alps. More than 450,000 will make the pilgrimage this season. We invite you to join USD friends for this spectacle, viewed as one of the grandest in the world.

Following the performance, you’ll embark on a cruise along the Danube to discover its most emblematic cities. Passau, the “city of three rivers,” is an impressive site where we will begin our cruise. You’ll bask in the charm of imperial Vienna, with its stunning architecture, cultural and historical monuments, and unique lifestyle. And delight as you stroll through Budapest, once two distinct cities united only in 1873 with a historic center like no other.

Space is limited. We anticipate this tour will fill quickly, so reserve your space today. Share this brochure with friends and family who may be interested in traveling with you on this epic journey. Please reserve by calling (888) 884-8259.

Sincerely,
