WHAT SETS US APART?
PERSONALIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Our comprehensive itineraries designed for active Americans over 50 are just the beginning. You have the freedom to make your trip your own. In fact, 87% of our travelers tailor their journeys by adding trip extensions, customizing their flights, arriving early, combining adventures, and stopping over in an iconic destination.
SMALL GROUP & SMALL SHIPS ADVANTAGE
Our small group size of no more than 16 travelers by land and 25 by ship allows us to take you off the beaten path where big tour groups can't go. You'll stay in intimate lodgings, travel like locals do, and slip seamlessly into local life. When traveling by small ship, our fleet can navigate narrow passageways and access ports larger vessels can't reach-taking you even closer to the heart of your destination.
CULTURAL CONNECTIONS
Our itineraries are designed to bring local culture to life-from sharing meals with families during Home-Hosted Visits and spending A Day in the Life of everyday people, to discussing modern-day Controversial Topics with local experts and visiting Grand Circle Foundation sites such as schools, women's co-ops, and more.
