Reunion logistics are the part nobody volunteers for. Cousins fly in from three states, grandma doesn’t drive anymore, the rental cars are spread across two parking lots, and somebody is always late to the venue. Urban Sherpa Travel runs a family reunion charter bus service out of NYC and New Jersey for the people who’d rather not spend the weekend coordinating who’s riding with whom.

One bus. One departure. Everyone arrives together. And the reunion organizer gets to enjoy the day instead of texting addresses.

How Reunion Charters Work

Family reunions don’t follow a script, and neither does the bus. We build the charter around your itinerary:

  • Custom pickup points. Pick up at a single home base, or run a multi-stop loop across the metro to gather family from different neighborhoods, hotels, or airports.
  • Flexible routing. Single-destination day trips, multi-stop reunion itineraries (church → cemetery → reception venue → return), or weekend itineraries with multiple legs.
  • Any destination within 300 miles of NYC. Catskills lake houses, Jersey Shore family compounds, Hudson Valley farms, Long Island reunions, Pennsylvania mountain venues — wherever the family is gathering, the bus gets there.
  • Sized to the family. Smaller shuttles for 15-25 people, mid-size coaches for medium families, full motorcoaches for 50+ guest reunions.

Types of Reunion Events We Serve

Day outings

Picnic at a state park, group dinner in the city, ballgame, beach day, or a single-venue gathering.

Destination reunions

Weekend stays at lake houses, family compounds, or rented event venues — with the bus serving as round-trip transportation and (optionally) on-site shuttle during the weekend.

Milestone celebrations

50th wedding anniversaries, 80th and 90th birthdays, retirement celebrations, and graduation reunions.

Extended family events

Multi-generational reunions, surname or family-association gatherings, and memorial events that pair travel with a service.

Many families that book a reunion charter also use Urban Sherpa for wedding shuttle service when the next generation gets married. Same dispatch, same standards, different occasion.
