- New savings of up to 25% released across 2018 Expedition and River cruises - 

18th January 2018 – The thrill of the Arctic sea spray against the face, the tranquillity of Burgundy's sleepy canals and the bustle of the Mekong's floating markets - these are just a few experiences available to travellers for less as part of G Adventures' Marine sale.

For those wanting to explore some of the world's most picturesque rivers, including the Mekong, the Ganges and Burgundy's Saône River, the sale offers up to 25% off Riverboat tours when booked before 28th February 2018. Adventure-seekers can also save up to £700 on Norway and Arctic Expeditions, when booked before 16th February 2018.      

“Our Riverboat Adventures and tours on board G Expedition enable travellers to visit areas other tours can't always reach, getting closer to amazing wildlife, marine sites and local communities,” comments Brian Young, managing director at G Adventures.

“Our smaller ships mean we can get all our Expedition travellers on land at each stop, and the size of all our vessels allows our travellers get to know one another throughout their trip. This creates a real 'family-feel' on board, which our travellers refer to time and time again after joining a Marine tour,” says Young.

Tours featured within the sale include:
