Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions provided an update on the two tour brands this fall, showcasing some of their most popular trips and providing an insight into their new offerings.
What You Should Know About The Brands
Adventures by Disney is a family-friendly tour brand that connects families with destinations and their cultures around the world.
“Travelers looking for engaging storytelling, Disney-quality service, and experiences designed with families in mind will find their dream trip with Adventures by Disney,” said Emily Dearman, Senior Manager of Marketing & Sales Strategy for Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions. “These trips are especially appealing for parents traveling with children and multigenerational family groups. The Adventure Guides take care of every detail while keeping guests of all ages entertained and connected – so everyone gets to be fully in the moment throughout the entire trip."
By comparison, National Geographic Expeditions is an expedition-style brand offering cruises and tours across the globe for the adventure lover. Readers of National Geographic or fans of its shows are guided by experts in destinations around the world.
“National Geographic Expeditions is designed for those travelers who want to experience the world on a deeper level,” Dearman continued. “Most trips are joined by a National Geographic Expert – a scientist, storyteller, or photographer with rich insights about the people and places you visit. There’s nothing quite like seeing prehistoric cave art alongside an anthropologist, watching the great wildebeest migration with a noted zoologist, or capturing breathtaking landscapes with tips from a National Geographic photographer.”
