G Adventures and NatGeo Expand Joint Collection to 30 Itineraries

G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have grown their co-branded lineup to 30 itineraries, adding 24 new National Geographic Journeys alongside six updated Family Journeys capped at 22 travelers. The expansion touches core adventure geographies — Galapagos, Peru, Thailand and broader Southeast Asia, plus France — giving advisors fresh small-group inventory from one of the segment's most established operators just as fall booking windows open for 2027 travel. Notably, the family-focused trips now include a new Junior Explorers Night format, a signal that G Adventures is leaning further into multigenerational and family-adventure demand rather than treating it as a side product. For advisors, this is immediately actionable: new NatGeo-branded departures typically move fast given the brand's pull, and the small-group caps (22 travelers) keep the product positioned against larger-format competitors. Worth flagging to clients planning 2027 family or milestone trips now, ahead of early-booking incentives.

  • 24 new National Geographic Journeys added to the G Adventures collection
  • 6 updated Family Journeys, capped at 22 travelers
  • New Junior Explorers Night format for family departures
  • Destinations include Galapagos, Peru, Thailand, Southeast Asia and France
