For travelers seeking experiences you can't get anywhere else
Our Premium trips offer exclusive, culturally immersive experiences you can’t get anywhere else. You’ll travel in private or first-class local transport, and every trip will include a feature stay in memorable accommodation, like a historic mansion in Europe, an eco-lodge in the jungle or an underground gîte in the desert.
These trips are perfectly paced, so you’ll have the opportunity to indulge in your specific interests. You’ll also be treated to more included meals and our most experienced local leaders.
Where you can go
Where you'll stay
Carefully selected for their quality and prime locations, Premium accommodations bring you closer to each destination. While sometimes off-grid or remote, you can always count on comfort and top-notch, personalized service.
All Premium itineraries include a feature stay chosen for historic significance. These unique properties showcase local architectural style while providing an exceptional local experience. Think: a Ming-dynasty heritage house in China or a thatched cabana in the Peruvian Amazon.
We promote our B Corp ethos when we design Premium trips by featuring accommodations that use renewable energy sources or give back to the local communities.
What to expect
Our local leaders don’t just know the place, they live and breathe it. On Premium trips, you’ll have a highly experienced leader with invaluable local knowledge who’ll be there with you every step of the way.
Premium itineraries are designed and curated by Intrepid’s on-ground experts. With just 10 travelers on average, you’ll have tons of chances to pick your leader’s brain and swap stories along the way.
Premium trips pack in more experiences than any other style we offer, with included activities that span cultural to culinary. The pace is relaxed and refined: think less huffing and puffing and more soaking it all in.
With more meals included than any other Intrepid style, you’ll want to pack your appetite. From home-cooked feasts to multicourse gourmet dinners, Premium meals are so much more than just food – they’re experiences to remember.
From the moment you arrive, our team will be there to deliver seamless service. With arrival transfers, luggage porterage and 24/7 in-destination support all included, we’ll handle the details so you can focus on the adventure.
All incidental tips (except for your local leader) are included in the price of your Premium trip, so you can skip the hassle and focus on enjoying every moment.
How you'll get around
Our Premium trips mostly use private vehicles, though in some destinations, we seek out unique modes of transport for speed and convenience.
This could be a first-class train in Asia, a 4WD in Africa or a short flight between more far-flung destinations.
