Intrepid Travel has announced that it will be phasing out Peregrine Adventures by JAN 2022, as the tour operator focuses on its higher-end travel options under the Intrepid Premium and Comfort ranges. The move is in line with Intrepid's growth strategy, which aims to become the first purpose-led $1b adventure travel company.
“By focusing all of our expertise and energy into one brand, we can deliver an even better sustainable experience for our customers while ensuring local communities benefit from tourism, too,” says James Thornton, Intrepid Travel CEO.
“We’re confident Peregrine customers will love our new Intrepid Premium range, which offers all the inclusions and experiences they’ve come to expect, plus our highest standard of accommodation, best tour leaders and even more choice,” he adds.
Peregrine Adventures has been part of Intrepid since 2012, and in 2021 offered 186 itineraries in 62 countries. In comparison, Intrepid will offer almost 300 itineraries in 73 countries across the Intrepid Premium and Comfort ranges from JAN 2022.
Intrepid Premium features Intrepid’s highest standard accommodation (on average 4-star) with quality on-trip experiences. Premium tours will be offered in 40+ destinations, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Peru and Morocco, with trips commencing in early 2022. Like all Intrepid tours, the Premium range is designed to minimize travellers’ environmental footprint, while maximizing their positive impact on local communities.
Intrepid Travels notes that Peregrine Adventures' customers with Peregrine Adventures credits, as well as travel advisors, will be supported through this transition, with a number of flexible options available for future travel plans. Intrepid will be reaching out directly to travel advisors to discuss the change and the options available to their clients
