Criterion Travel
Criterion Travel is a tour operator specializing in educational travel. We work with top U.S. affinity organizations to create and operate customized group itineraries worldwide with a strong educational focus. Our tours and cruises are designed for travelers interested in learning more about the destination than the average tourist. There is nothing “off the shelf” about the trips we develop. Many are unique and operate only once. Almost all have accompanying expert lecturers who complement what local guides have to say. They might feature a combination of land and chartered sea, river, rail, or air transportation. Most of our programs provide private access or special features not available to individual travelers or most other groups. Criterion Travel is based in Beaverton, Oregon, and is owned and operated by industry veteran Steve Ridgway. Our seven senior staff members average 15 years of experience in the educational travel niche. Engage, Educate, Enrich
