G Adventures and NatGeo Add 30 Itineraries, Refresh Family Journeys

G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have unveiled 30 new joint small-group itineraries, one of the larger single expansions of the NatGeo Journeys collection to date. The release includes 24 new departures alongside six overhauled Family Journeys, which now cap group size at 22 travelers, pair guests with two Expedition Leaders instead of one, and add "Junior Explorers Night" programming aimed at engaging younger travelers. Destinations span the Galapagos, Thailand and wider Southeast Asia, Peru, France's Loire Valley and Bordeaux, and Central European Christmas markets. For advisors, this is concrete new inventory from a core small-group operator, with a family-travel angle that's straightforward to pitch for multigenerational clients who want more structure and guide support than a standard family tour offers. Worth raising with clients planning holiday-season or shoulder-season departures who haven't considered G Adventures for family bookings before.

  • 24 new NatGeo Journeys departures across Galapagos, Thailand/SE Asia, Peru, Loire Valley/Bordeaux, and Central European Christmas markets
  • 6 revamped Family Journeys: 22-traveler cap, two Expedition Leaders per group, new Junior Explorers Night programming
