Geographic Signature with G
Adventures is expanding its high-end collection with 17 new itineraries and
expeditions.
The addition of expert-led explorations brings the total
number of trips to 67 across 48 destinations, building on Signature’s
philosophy of redefining luxury travel through deeper, more immersive
experiences in some of the world’s most fascinating places.
Yves Marceau, VP Product at G Adventures, said in a statement,
“The overwhelmingly positive response to National Geographic Signature with G
Adventures has demonstrated travelers are looking for trips that align strongly
with their values. They still expect outstanding service and comfort, but
increasingly they're looking for experiences that broaden their perspective.
Signature speaks to a generation of travelers who want to return home with a
richer understanding of the world.”
A defining feature of Signature departures, travelers are
accompanied by leaders in the fields of photography, conservation, wildlife
biology, geology, archaeology, history and more – offering behind-the-scenes
insights. Trips are led by an experienced National Geographic Expedition
Leader, providing the context that brings each destination to life.
In addition, Signature Moments – once-in-a-lifetime
experiences – were created exclusively for these expeditions. Encounters offer
insider access to museums, historic landmarks and research initiatives, with
behind-the-scenes experiences.
