Our trips have always been designed to take that weight off parents so they can relax and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And he continued: \u201cWith our new Premium Family range, we\u2019re taking that comfort and convenience even further, offering even more inclusions, more seamless planning, and elevated experiences throughout the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Intrepid\u2019s new Premium Family range includes eight new trips across Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, India, Borneo, Vietnam, Morocco, Thailand and Egypt. Designed for small groups of three to five like-minded families and led by Intrepid\u2019s most experienced local guides, the range combines elevated accommodation and extensive inclusions with immersive, kid-friendly travel experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The new range brings together Intrepid\u2019s most comfortable travel style \u2013 Premium \u2013 and its established Family range, which already spans more than 50 itineraries worldwide and recorded 19% year-on-year growth in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the new itineraries include a night in a Sahara desert camp on the\u00a010-day Morocco Premium Family Holiday, where families will enjoy a traditional dinner, watch live Gnaoua music and stargaze under an uninterrupted sky. On the\u00a09-day Borneo Premium Family Holiday, families stay in an overwater villa, where they can kayak, snorkel and stand-up paddleboard, and take part in a coral planting workshop to learn about the region\u2019s delicate marine ecosystem. While the\u00a08-day India Golden Triangle Premium Family Holiday\u00a0offers the chance to see an impressive diversity of birdlife on a rickshaw ride through Keoladeo National Park and spot wildlife at Jhalana Leopard Safari Park on an open-roof 4WD safari.<\/p>\n<p>Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new Premium Family range combines the comfort and convenience of our Premium offering with the immersive, child-friendly format of our Family trips.
