Intrepid Travel introduces new premium trips as travellers seek new experiences

Intrepid Travel has expanded its Premium range, launching three new trips in Greenland, Norway and Costa Rica, alongside more than 50 new signature experiences across its Premium portfolio.

Led by Intrepid’s most experienced local leaders, Premium is the company’s most comfortable travel style, offering handpicked feature stays, exceptional included experiences and enhanced service throughout the trip.

This launch comes amid growing demand for elevated, hassle-free travel. Recent Intrepid research of more than 8,000 travellers across Australia, Canada, the UK and U.S. revealed that 70% of travellers place greater value on holidays where planning, logistics and other stressors are taken care of for them.

Meanwhile, Intrepid’s Premium range grew 19% year-on-year in 2025, making it one of the company’s fastest-growing travel styles and reinforcing the appeal of seamless travel that features a high level of inclusions, comfort, convenience and meaningful local experiences.

Intrepid is tracking toward a record-setting June in North America, with new bookings up 30% year-over-year, bolstered by strong global booking growth of 40% year-over-year.

This surge is being driven by outstanding performance for Intrepid’s industry channels, which is up 43% and 61% in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, as well as explosive year-over-year growth of 126% in North America for the company’s Tailor-Made custom trips.

Intrepid’s forward looking growth continues to gain momentum with bookings into 2027 up 44% year-over-year while customer growth is up 37% for the same period.

Leigh Barnes, President of the Americas at Intrepid Travel, observed: “June is shaping up to be a record-setting month for Intrepid in North America, driven in large part by continued growth across our industry channels. Travellers are ready to book and willing to invest but they’re being more intentional about the trips they choose.”

And Barnes added: “We’re thrilled that travel advisors see Intrepid as a perfect fit for travellers seeking more meaningful experiences. Plus, our expanded Premium line gives travel advisors a timely way to address clients who want a more elevated experience, but with the ease and confidence that comes from having all the logistics taken care of.”

Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel said: “We’re seeing strong demand from travellers who want to explore the world in greater comfort, without sacrificing the local connections and authentic experiences that make travel meaningful. Our Premium style brings together our most experienced local leaders, handpicked feature stays and carefully curated inclusions, taking the stress out of travel while delivering exceptional and distinct experiences that leverage Intrepid’s extensive global networks. With new trips in Greenland, Norway and Costa Rica, and more than 50 new signature experiences added across the range, we’re continuing to raise the bar for what travellers can expect from a Premium adventure.”

The new itineraries are available to book now and will depart from May 2027.
