Explore adds rail and sea adventure trips
Expedition voyages to some of the most remote parts of the world have been introduced by adventure travel operator Explore.
Trips to Antarctica, Greenland, the Artic Circle, Pacific and the Amazon River are included in the operator’s 2005-06 Worldwide brochure.
The voyages range from four to 50 days in duration, including a tall ship sailing from Easter Island to Tahiti. Prices start at £1,475 for an Amazon trip.
The company has also introduced single and twin-centre holidays in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Macedonia, Northern Cyprus, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa and the Canadian Rockies.
These packages are designed for people who would rather stay at one or two hotels rather than packing and re-packing while moving from place to place. The lead-in is £509 for eight days in a chateau in the Lot Valley region of France, including walking and cycling excursions.
Explore has also added 12 ‘In Style’ trips, offering higher standards of accommodation, in destinations such as Kenya, India, Costa Rica, Peru and Morocco.
The number of rail journeys has been doubled, including a 23-day London to Aqaba itinerary, a 15-day Alexandria to Abu Simbel train and riverboat tour, and a 16-day Sydney to Darwin trip.
The 164-page brochure includes two pages dedicated to the operator’s commitment to responsible travel by supporting various charitable projects worldwide.
Managing director Simon Tobin said: “We are striving to ensure that adventure travel appeals to as wide an audience as possible.”
