Why We Noticed
There's something exciting about discovering a destination you hadn't considered or finding an entirely different way to experience a place you thought you knew.

That's what makes Intrepid's new lineup so appealing. Rather than simply checking famous landmarks off a list, many of these adventures invite travelers to explore a little deeper, connect with local communities and discover places beyond the usual tourist routes.
Greenland offers the chance to paddle among icebergs beneath the Arctic evening sun, explore ancient Inuit settlements and take in dramatic glaciers and waterfalls.
In Rwanda, a new cycling adventure winds through national parks, lakes and wetlands, with an optional trek to see mountain gorillas. Meanwhile, travelers heading to Indonesia's Sumba Island can trade Bali's crowds for turquoise lagoons, traditional villages and an ikat-weaving workshop supporting local women.
For something completely different, Maldives: Beyond the Beaches explores the culture of an island nation better known for its luxury resorts. Travelers stay in locally owned guesthouses, visit fishing villages, share meals with local families and discover a side of the Maldives that many visitors never experience.
And for travelers who prefer hiking boots to beach sandals, Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail offers a journey through emerald tea plantations, misty highlands and rural villages along stages of the country's long-distance walking route.
Go On…
What we particularly like about this collection is that adventure doesn't have to mean the same thing to everyone.
There are family trips designed to introduce teenagers to new cultures and landscapes, including adventures in Cambodia and Nepal. There are Premium journeys for travelers who want a little more comfort alongside their exploration, from Norway's dramatic fjords to Costa Rica's Caribbean coast.
And there are plenty of opportunities to connect with the people who call these destinations home.

In northern Jordan, travelers can meet beekeepers, shepherds and artisan cheesemakers preserving local traditions. In New Zealand, an adventure on the North Island includes time with Māori hosts and a visit to a Māori-owned oyster farm. And in Sri Lanka, a women-focused expedition introduces travelers to entrepreneurs, artisans, community leaders and conservationists.
These experiences reflect something we appreciate about Intrepid's approach to travel: the journey isn't just about where you go, but what you learn, who you meet and how you experience a place along the way.
Whether you're dreaming of a challenging trek, a wildlife encounter, an immersive cultural journey or simply somewhere you've never been before, this new collection makes a compelling case for looking ahead to 2027.
