A

National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures lineup, including trips

itineraries take the total number of tours in the collection to 83.

the highlights of the 2017 Journeys lineup are seven new itineraries in
Africa, including Wonders of Namibia, which features a lecture and
guided game drive with the National Geographic-associated Cheetah
Conservation Fund.
The new Iconic Japan trip has travellers
making sushi with a local chef, watching an ancient martial arts
performance, and learning Zen calligraphy. For wildlife enthusiasts, the
Canadian Polar Bear Experience provides a rare opportunity to see polar
bears in their natural habitat, alongside an expert from Polar Bears
International, an organisation that has collaborated with National
Geographic.
Launched in January 2016, the Journeys collection
offers hands-on exploration and meaningful interactions with people and
places at an accessible price point.
“The success of this
partnership in its first year has far surpassed our hopes, attracting
thousands of new bookings, and rave post-trip reviews from our
travellers. It shows us that travellers want experiences that enrich
their minds, hearts and spirits.” says Jeff Russill, vice president of
product, G Adventures.
With an emphasis on discovery,
storytelling, local immersion and social good, all Journeys tours offer
unforgettable experiences to travellers who appreciate having free time
and flexibility, but value the structure and security that come with
small group travel. Each trip is led by a knowledgeable local guide
known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO), and is filled with
opportunities to connect with local cultures. Travellers also visit
projects and initiatives associated with G Adventures or National
Geographic that help improve local livelihoods and protect natural and
cultural heritage.
“Over the past year, we’ve been thrilled to
see how this new line of trips has resonated with all kinds of
travellers, in particular younger travellers seeking an authentic way to
connect with another part of the world,” says Lynn Cutter, executive
vice president of National Geographic Travel.
The 18 new National
Geographic Journeys with G Adventures trips for 2017 are now available
