Intrepid Travel has announced Peregrine Adventures will be phased out from January 2022, as the operator focuses on extending its higher-end travel options under the Intrepid Premium and Comfort ranges. 

The brand simplification supports Intrepid’s ambitious growth strategy as the business aims to become the first purpose-led $1 billion adventure travel company. It also provides customers with the widest range of sustainable experience-rich travel. In a similar move, Intrepid successfully phased out the Geckos Adventures ‘youth’ brand in 2018 to transition to its popular 18 to 29s range. 

Peregrine Adventures has been part of Intrepid since 2012 and in 2021 offered 186 itineraries in 62 countries. In comparison, from January 2022, Intrepid will offer almost 300 itineraries in 73 countries across the Intrepid Premium and Comfort ranges.

Intrepid Premium features Intrepid’s highest standard accommodation (on average 4-star) and exceptional on-trip experiences. Like all Intrepid tours, the range is designed to minimize travellers’ environmental footprint while maximizing their positive impact for local communities. Intrepid Premium tours will be offered in 40+ popular destinations, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Peru and Morocco, with trips commencing in early 2022.

Peregrine Adventures customers and agents with Peregrine Adventures credits 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 agents to discuss the change and the options available to them.

Over the past 32 years, Intrepid has grown from one of Australia’s most successful travel companies into an internationally recognized travel brand. In 2019, the company posted record financial results and carried some 460,000 travellers to all corners of the globe. More recently, Fast Company named Intrepid as one of the Most Innovative Companies in 2021.

All Intrepid trips operate under enhanced health and safety measures underpinned by the Safe Travel protocols developed and endorsed by the World Travel & Tourism Council. Travellers can book with confidence with Intrepid’s Flexible bookings policy.
