Making Friends on Every Trip Since 2002

Dear Friends,

The season of giving thanks is upon us. In our family, we try to count our blessings all year long, but with the arrival of the holidays, it becomes even more important.

We are so grateful for all of the members of The Upper Class family, many who have been with us since the beginning, and new friends that we’re lucky to have met more recently.

Not only do you join us on trips, but you teach us every day with your humor, warmth and friendship as you continue to inspire our grandmother’s vision for this company. We like to remember the words of Clarence the Angel from It’s A Wonderful Life, “Remember - no man is a failure who has friends.” We are so grateful each one of our buses is filled with good friends!

Our newest collection of holiday trips is designed to celebrate the spirit of the season, giving all of us the chance to reflect and appreciate with friends. Give a gift to yourself or a gift certificate for a friend – the perfect present of trips promising twinkling lights, tinsel, music, great food and much holiday cheer!

And it doesn’t stop there! This catalog provides an early look at upcoming winter and spring trips - a special holiday surprise especially for you to wrap early this year! Be the first to book your favorites for 2015!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Intrepid Memorial Day Ceremony

On the Flight Deck aboard the mighty Intrepid Aircraft Carrier, give thanks to those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country during the Intrepid’s Annual Memorial Day Commemoration Ceremony. A poignant and stirring event that will give you chills, this is an experience you’ll never forget.

Witness the ceremonial wreath laying, a Three Volley Rifle Salute, the unfurling of a 100-foot American flag across the Flight Deck, a military fly-over in the missing man formation and the bugle playing of the haunting “Echo Taps.”

This ceremony is the touching finale of Fleet Week, bringing together service men and women from each branch of our military. You and everyone aboard the aircraft carrier will connect and participate in the event, singing our national anthem and saluting the soldiers in attendance. You can also visit the Space Shuttle Pavilion and new Hubble Telescope exhibit.

After the ceremony, gather for a three course lunch at the Tuscan-inspired Bottino restaurant.

Don’t miss this special, moving tribute that honors so many, while celebrating the American Spirit.
