Launched earlier this year, the Signature range leans into small-group journeys that prioritise access, expertise and community impact over polished, one-size-fits-all experiences.
The latest drop pushes things further, with new trips across places like Bhutan, Spain and the Canadian Rockies, bringing the total to 49 itineraries across 44 destinations.
Each trip is led by National Geographic Expedition Leaders, with input from on-the-ground experts and specialists spanning fields from history to conservation. The result is a style of travel that feels less like ticking sights off a list and more like actually understanding where you are, and who you’re meeting along the way.
Spanning fields from history to conservation.
A few standouts: an eight-day journey through Bhutan, where monastery visits and meetings with local insiders offer a window into life in the Himalayas; a deep dive into Turkey, from Istanbul to Cappadocia; and a slower look at northern Spain, where prehistoric caves, coastal food culture and winemaking traditions all come into play.
It’s a simple idea, but it’s done properly; travel with people who know what they’re talking about, go a bit deeper, and leave a place better than you found it.
With the addition of these 17 new trips, there are now 49 trips spanning 44 destinations in the Signature collection. Each journey has been crafted in collaboration with National Geographic Expeditions and on-ground specialists whose connections and expertise open doors and reveal the world to travellers in a new way, while immersing travellers in the cultures and communities they are visiting.
