The Royal Canadian Geographical Society is proud to announce its latest foray into the travel sphere with the launch of Canadian Geographic Adventures and its Designated Travel Collection. With a focus on making Canada better known to Canadians and to the world, the Society is collaborating with trusted Canadian and international travel partners to draw readers off the pages of Canadian Geographic magazine and into the field through immersive travel.
Voyages showcased as part of the Designated Travel Collection include multi-day, locally-guided, small group travel experiences in each province and territory and around the world with a strong focus on sustainability and the celebration of people and place. Each voyage hosts a notable RCGS Travel Ambassador adding incredible insight into the Society and Canadian Geographic, and each travel operator within the Designated Travel Collection supports the impactful programming of the RCGS with a contribution from every booking.
Guests who travel within the designated travel collection are embraced by the fabric of place, the warmth of people and the diversity of culture on every voyage. |
