Intrepid Travel, a global leader in responsible travel, has launched a new Premium Family range, expanding its family offering with eight new trips across Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, India, Borneo, Vietnam, Morocco, Thailand and Egypt. Designed for small groups of three to five like-minded families and led by Intrepid’s most experienced local guides, the range combines elevated accommodation and extensive inclusions with immersive, kid-friendly travel experiences.
According to a new study conducted by Intrepid Travel and Wakefield Research, 80% of people with families have taken vacations or trips to expose their children to new cultures or places. And over 50% of those responded this is something they do regularly. Intrepid’s group family offerings include hands-on, educational experiences for families travelling together, from Arabic calligraphy classes with local artists in Morocco to cooking with local families in India.
"What makes the Premium Family range exciting is how much thought has gone into every stage of the journey, from the accommodations and inclusions to the leaders we've chosen to run these trips,” says Leigh Barnes, President of Americas. “We've listened closely to what families actually want, and the result is something that feels genuinely effortless without sacrificing any of the depth and authenticity Intrepid is known for."
The new range responds to the growing demand for hassle-free family travel, bringing together Intrepid’s most comfortable travel style – Premium – and its established Family range, which already spans more than 50 itineraries worldwide and recorded 19% year-on-year growth in 2025. A recent Intrepid survey of over 2,600 parents across Australia, U.S., Canada and the UK found that 80% want their children to experience new cultures and destinations, while 70% place greater value on holidays here planning, logistics and other stresses are handled for them.
Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel said:
“The new Premium Family range combines the comfort and convenience of our Premium offering with the immersive, child-friendly format of our Family trips. Led by our most experienced local leaders and featuring extensive inclusions, they give families the chance to explore the world together without the stress of planning and logistics, leaving lasting memories that will be talked about for years to come. Holiday time is precious, and at a time when the world can feel increasingly overwhelming and divided, these journeys create space to discover new destinations and reconnect through shared, meaningful experiences.”
