Premium Departures
If you prefer a little more luxury then why not try one of our new Premium Departures. The hotels on these trips have been specially selected for their comfort and unique qualities. They are often set in stunning locations, offer fabulous cuisine, and local charm in abundance.
We have selected a number of Premium Departures on a range of our most popular group holidays. The itinerary is exactly the same as for the standard weeks, but we use upgraded accommodation wherever possible and offer a premium trekking service on the Inca Trail option, with a higher personal weight limit. Please see the Trip Notes for full details.
The selected departures of a trip indicated as a Premium departure are labelled with 
against the specific date on the Dates and Prices pages of the respective holiday.
