National Geographic and G Adventures have revealed full details of their new family holidays, which start in 2020.
Announced in February, their partnership will feature 12 trips in the National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures portfolio.
Each small-group tour will be led by two ‘chief experience officers”, who will deliver itineraries and activities designed around four guiding National Geographic themes: photography and storytelling; history and culture; wildlife and conservation; and exploration.
Highlights include wildlife spotting in Alaska’s national parks; pasta making and gladiator school in Italy; sumo wrestling lessons and samurai swordplay in Japan; acrobatics demonstrations with circus performers in Cambodia; and ziplining through the Costa Rican rainforest canopy. Other destinations include Iceland and southern Africa.
The family holidays range follows the success of National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures, launched in 2015.
Heather Heverling, National Geographic senior vice president of product management, said: “These trips reflect National Geographic’s mission to ignite the explorer in all of us and provide unique travel experiences that help us feel more connected to the natural world and the many differing cultures in it.”
Brian Young, EMEA managing director at G Adventures, said: “What really excites me about this new family travel style is how much learning, bonding, adventure and enjoyment is included, for every member of the family, at such an accessible price.”
Prices start at £1,349 for the nine-day Morocco Family Journey: Ancient Souks to the Sahara, not including flights.
