Intrepid adds 10 new premium range tours

Intrepid Travel has introduced 10 new tours as part of their Intrepid Premium range. 

The new tours come a year and a half after Intrepid launched their inaugural Premium collection, a range of tours appealing to discerning travellers that feature hand-picked accommodations, private transportation, train journeys and an array of signature stays and exclusive experiences. 

The addition of 10 new tours, which include six new trips in Europe and four new trips in North and South America, bring the total number of Intrepid Premium trips to 97, giving travellers a more sustainable choice for higher-end adventures.

 With the introduction of these new itineraries, the Intrepid Premium range will now span across 42 countries and five continents. 

While Africa and Asia have been the two top selling regions for the Premium range so far, the addition of these new trips will help bolster the Premium offering in other key destinations around the world, specifically in Europe. 

The six new Europe itineraries will mark the first Premium tours in the Baltics, Balkans, and Northern Spain, and bring the total Intrepid Premium offering in Europe to 25 tours.

The launch will also mark the first Intrepid Premium itinerary in the United States with the introduction of Premium Alaska. It is one of four tours being launched across the Americas including Premium Costa Rica and Premium Patagonia.

“Trends show that passengers are willing to pay for premium trips that offer an exceptional experience at an excellent value,” said Matt Berna, Intrepid Travel President, North America. “Like all Intrepid trips, these new itineraries are designed to minimize travellers’ environmental footprint and maximize their positive impact for local communities – this is what makes Intrepid Travel so special.”
