G Adventures Expands Geluxe Collection with 16 New Trips
by Bruce Parkinson
Malta is a new destination for G Adventures.
G Adventures is expanding its fast-growing Geluxe Collection with 16 new trips, bringing the collection to 82.
Among the latest additions are seven new coastal adventures, created for travellers looking to experience the world’s most spectacular shorelines through active exploration, standout accommodation and meaningful local connections.
G Adventures says demand continues to grow for coastal holidays that offer more than just beach time. Research conducted by the company last year found that travellers feel happiest when spending time by the coast, with “time on a beach” ranking first and being “in or on the water” ranking second.
Rather than simply visiting the coast, these new itineraries immerse travellers in destinations shaped by the sea through hiking, kayaking, wildlife encounters, local cuisine and meaningful cultural experiences.
Originally launched to fill a gap in the market for travellers seeking a more elevated style of adventure travel, the Geluxe Collection has quickly become one of G Adventures’ most popular product ranges.
The collection combines active, small-group adventures with premium accommodation, immersive food experiences and community tourism that brings destinations to life. Every itinerary also features the Geluxe Collection’s signature OMG Day, where travellers choose between two equally memorable experiences, and an OMG Stay — at least one exceptional accommodation chosen for its character, location or sense of place.
“Geluxe has become one of our biggest success stories because it delivers exactly what many travellers have been looking for — active days balanced with exceptional places to stay, incredible food and genuine local connection,” says Yves Marceau, VP of Product.
“These new coastal adventures are a natural evolution of the collection. They showcase some of the world’s most beautiful coastlines while giving travellers the opportunity to experience the people, wildlife and cultures that make these destinations truly special.”
A Sampling of New Itineraries in the Geluxe Collection:
A new destination for G Adventures, this trip proves there’s far more to Malta than a traditional fly-and-flop escape. Travellers experience the islands from land and sea, hiking coastal trails, discovering hidden villages by tuk tuk and enjoying authentic culinary experiences along the way. Highlights include three unforgettable OMG Stay nights at the five-star Ta’ Cenc Hotel & Spa, dramatically perched above the island’s rugged coastline.
An eight-day adventure starts from $4,779 CAD per person.
Showcasing Madeira’s dramatic coastline, volcanic landscapes and mountain trails, this island adventure balances active exploration with time to slow down and soak up spectacular scenery. Travellers hike to iconic viewpoints, explore colourful fishing villages, swim in natural pools and enjoy sweeping Atlantic views. An OMG Day lets travellers choose between a classic levada hike or an e-bike adventure along the south coast, while authentic food and wine experiences, local markets and family-run vineyards bring Madeira’s rich culture to life.
Prices from $5,049 CAD per person.
