Travel Opportunities
with the Good Neighbor Club

Good Neighbor Club members have traveled across the country and all over the world since the club’s inception three decades ago. We’ve taken groups of around 25 travelers to New York City, Seattle, and everywhere in-between, including trips to the Kentucky Derby, Palm Springs in January, New England in the fall, and to see the glaciers in Alaska. Good Neighbor Club members also travel internationally, taking group trips to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, and river cruises to see Norwegian fjords, Dutch tulips, and the Panama Canal.  

When you travel with the Good Neighbor Club, we take care of the logistics, from lodging and transportation to itineraries and tour guides. We have a lot of exciting senior travel trips lined up in the next two years! Will you join us?

Join us on an amazing adventure to Panoramic Portugal! We’ll spend three nights in central Lisbon, surrounded by beautiful architecture, vibrant colors, and old-world charm. We’ll attend a traditional fado show-a musical performance that showcases Portuguese culture and music. We’ll visit the stunning Jeronimo’s Monastery-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-and a local tile workshop, where we try our hands at creating our own tile masterpieces!

We’ll travel to the historic and romantic Sintra to see magnificent palaces and the beautiful countryside. We’ll journey to Fatima, where we’ll enjoy the serene surroundings of this world-renowned pilgrimage site, followed by a guided walking tour of the prestigious University of Coimbra, one of the oldest in Europe.

After an overnight in Coimbra, we’ll travel to charming city of Porto for three nights! Here we’ll indulge in local cuisine, stunning architecture, delicious wine, and beautiful scenery. We’ll enjoy two boat rides-one on the picturesque Douro River, surrounded by vineyards, and the other along the coastline at sunset. You’ll have time to explore the magic of Porto on your own before we make our way back to Lisbon for our flight home!

Aloha! Set your watches to island time for this 7-night Hawaii cruise with pre- and post-cruise packages in Honolulu, Oahu! The first evening, we will have ocean view rooms on the beautiful island of Oahu. After sightseeing and enjoying a tour of Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial, we will board our ship for the next 7 days. We will have time in Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai.
While in Maui, we will enjoy the included performance The Royal Lahaina’s Myths of Maui Luau! Our ship is docked overnight in both Maui and Nawiliwili, Kauai. After disembarking our ship, we will have time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we will enjoy the Plantation Gardens after we have an included meal which is a delightful Polynesian-inspired Asian and American cuisine at the Gateway Buffet. This is merely a highlight of what to expect on this amazing trip!

Back by popular demand—our annual staycation to Palm Springs, California! We’ll be staying at the Palm Mountain Resort, minutes away from shopping, restaurants, theater, the casino, and the open-air street market on Thursday evenings. Sit back, relax, and vacation at your own pace on this done-for-you trip.

Join us on a journey that will take you from the earliest days of the birth of our nation to a modern-day place where heroes are trained to protect our freedom. Our nation will be celebrating its 250th Anniversary in 2026. What a great year it will be to recognize this milestone with Good Neighbor Club Members.

Our flight will take us to Norfolk, Virginia, where we will transfer to Williamsburg, Virginia, for the next two evenings. Day two will find us visiting Colonial Williamsburg. Day three, we begin our journey to Washington, DC. Day four will have us visiting the nation’s capital, with a local guide seeing highlights such as the Washington Monument and the Arlington National Cemetery along with many other highlights. Day five, our guide will showcase many of the highlights of our capital city. Day six we travel to Annapolis, Maryland, to visit the United States Naval Academy, along with a guided walking tour to better understand the Academy’s mission. Later we will travel to Baltimore Washington airport for our flight home.

Join us as we experience the “final frontier” – Alaska! Thrill to the sight of soaring eagles. Watch for breaching whales. Cruise past magnificent glaciers that have helped form this wild land. Visit fascinating ports of call during the day, and explore the amazing amenities available aboard Celebrity’s Summit at night. All of this and more awaits you in Alaska!

Our Alaska trip combines a 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Celebrity Summit with a 4-night land adventure in Fairbanks, Denali, and Anchorage, Alaska. On our trip, we’ll pan for gold and enjoy a miner’s stew lunch. In Denali National Park, we’ll board the Alaska Railroad on a scenic dome car train ride from Denali to Talkeetna. Before we board our cruise, we’ll spend a day with sled dogs at the Seavey Ididaride Complex.

Once aboard the ship, we’ll  cruise through Alaska’s beautiful scenery, taking in Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point (with more bears than people!), Ketchikan, and Alaska’s Inside Passage before disembarking in Vancouver.

Local Opportunities for Good Neighbor Club Members

From day trips to the Twin Cities to watch a play to our monthly trip to Mystic Lake to play the slots to our local lunch n’ learns, there’s always something for Good Neighbor Club members to look forward to. Here’s a closer look at our local opportunities.  

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Join us for our quarterly lunch n’ learns with local experts. We’ve hosted estate planning attorneys to talk about wills and legacy planning, medical professionals to explain how to use electronic health record software, Social Security experts, chiropractors, and everyone in-between. If there’s something you’d like to learn more about, get in touch with us to suggest a lunch n’ learn topic.   Lunch n’ learns are hosted in the Good Neighbor Club room at our Willmar branch. Lunch is at noon and the presentation follows. Space is limited, so make sure to let us know you’re coming! 
Good Neighbor Club members love good company and a good time, which is why we take advantage of everything Minnesota has to offer. We’ve attended Twins games together, shopped for spring blooms at Gerten’s, and attended countless plays and musicals, including Hamilton, The Lion King, and other Broadway hits. We travel together by bus and usually stop for a meal on our day trips.  
Our monthly trip to Mystic Lake is always a popular outing! We leave by bus from our branches in the morning and spend the day gaming at Mystic Lake in Prior Lake. We plan our trips on the casino’s 50+ fun day, where you can take advantage of $15 for slot play and a $4 food voucher.
