A European Adventure, Competitive Baseball Tournament & Cultural Experience

An international tour with MVP is much more than just a baseball trip, it is an opportunity to represent the red, white and blue. More importantly, it is an opportunity to connect with the world at large through a shared common passion. You will meet and interact with players from the host teams both on and off the diamond… giving you the chance to see the world through their eyes, understand how they live, and create long-distance friendships. For some it may open your eyes, for some it may bring a new friend into your life, and for others – it may be the next stepping stone in your baseball career.

Testimonials

TO MVP International

This was a fantastic trip. Both sons absolutely loved it and, before we got home from Puerto Rico, they were asking to do another MVP trip. Beautiful hotel, super fun group activities, lots of opportunities for excursions and free time, and a priceless baseball experience.

A tremendous effort by all the coordinators paid off with an excellent trip. We go to watch some great baseball, meet the local teams and see some fabulous scenery. The ship was well maintained, clean and comfortable. The crew made sure we were always satisfied.

We had a truly amazing time on this trip — just the right amount of baseball, planned sightseeing, and free time. Every detail of the program came off without a hitch. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough..

Another outstanding trip by MVP International! Fun options for free time. In fact there were too many good choices we had to split up and enjoy multiple side trips. The hotels were some of the best we’ve seen on these trips. As always the trip goes so fast but we love the people, seeing our boys representing the USA , and having them learn about new countries and cultures that will stay with them forever.

Our family had a fabulous time! The trip details were seamless, nothing was left to question, and it was clear as to where to go, what to do, what we needed to pay for on our own, etc. We made wonderful new friends and created memories of a lifetime. The trip and plans exceeded our expectations, and we have high standards! 🙂

We had a great time! The tours, free time and sight seeing was awesome. It was a wonderful opportunity for the young ladies; their exposure to to another culture that shared their love and passion for softball and to interact competitively and socially with them. It was as if they had always known them.

There was never a dull moment. Everything was taken care from transportation, tours, and of course hockey. Our hosts were great and our trip advisor Eli was on top of everything. It was one of the best vacations we have had with plenty of hockey for my son as well..
