G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions unveil luxury tours

G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have unveiled a new range of upmarket tours, describing them as a “huge opportunity” for travel agents.

 

The partners have worked together on joint tours for 10 years and now are preparing to offer an upmarket collection called National Geographic Signature with G Adventures.

 

Bookings will open in January 2026, with first departures in January 2027.

 

There will be 29 trips initially, featuring destinations including South Africa, Vietnam, Japan, Central Asia, Peru and Jordan.

They are designed to create “meaningful, lasting benefits for local communities, from supporting local artisans and experts to selecting high-end locally-owned accommodation wherever possible”.

 

Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures, said: “The introduction of National Geographic Signature with G Adventures marks an exciting new adventure for G Adventures.

 

“Over the past decade we have worked side by side with National Geographic to develop new ways to allow travellers to see the world.

 

“United by our shared vision that travel can be transformative, we knew there was a huge opportunity to develop a more conscious and meaningful way to travel within the luxury sector.

 

“The launch of National Geographic Signature with G Adventures poses a huge opportunity for our community of travel agents, as we bring this incredible offering to our global markets.

 

“These new trips will allow agents to offer their most discerning clients an experience that satisfies both their intellectual curiosity and desire to contribute positively to the world.”

 

Nancy Schumacher, senior vice-president and general manager for Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions, added: “We are thrilled to elevate our collaboration with G Adventures, expanding a partnership rooted in a shared vision for transformative, educational travel.

 

“We are reshaping travel by providing experiences that encourage connection, curiosity, and positive impact.”

 

Every National Geographic Signature with G Adventures tour will feature “stunning handpicked” accommodation, a dedicated expedition leader, educational talks with experts, group sizes limited to 22, and ‘Signature Moments’ that “embody the local culture and support connection with the local communities, history and cuisine”.
