There has been recently a growing interest in cislunar missions, in particular for supporting human deep space exploration. Understanding the dynamical envi-ronment between various cislunar orbits is therefore useful. The current study is focused on finding efficient transfer trajectory options between a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) and a Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) in the Earth-Moon system. A general methodology is introduced to design these trans-fers in a systematic way, including the use of solar perturbations and lunar fly-bys. Representative solutions are presented and compared in terms of delta-v and flight time, including a transfer requiring 56 m/s only.
