Our Trips
Discover a breadth of destinations and several ways to see them with the sister companies of Grand Circle.
Grand Circle Travel
Each of our trips—whether by land or small
ship—is leisurely paced, so you’ll get the most out of your destination. Led by a resident
Program Director who gives you insight that only a local could, each day brings a
choice of sightseeing and free time, so you can tailor your own vacation to suit
your whims and desires. And thanks to our exclusive Discovery Series cultural
and educational events, you’ll enjoy the most authentic experience there is.
It’s the best of traditional group travel, with an untraditional dash of flexibility and discovery.
Worldwide River Cruises
In Europe, Egypt and Russia, you’ll cruise on Grand Circle’s own custom-built
private ships. Since 1998, we have built these ships with our travelers’ standards
in mind. And because we own and manage each and every one, we have complete control
of the quality of your experience from bow to stern. Unpack once, then set sail on
a journey through as many as five countries, visiting a different port every day.
The beauty of these itineraries is the freedom they provide. Because you’re settled
into your outside cabin for as long as 13 nights, you can choose to participate in
as many – or as few – activities as you’d like.

Escorted Trips
You’ll see a variety of destinations at an easy tempo. Escorted Trips are ideal
for travelers who value camaraderie, as well as independence. Enjoy a generous
roster of included sightseeing featuring the “must see” landmarks, as well as the
undiscovered gems most travelers never see. Our pacing also provides free time for
you to relax, explore independently, and experience local cultures in a meaningful way.

Small Ocean Ships
On a Grand Circle Small
Ocean Ship, you’ll board a vessel specifically designed to drop anchor at
smaller, more intimate ports. In a Grand
Circle group of 40-45 travelers, you’ll enjoy the
exclusive services of your own resident Program Director who knows your ports
intimately. You may be sharing the ship with other international travelers, but
you’ll never get lost in the crowd, and you’ll easily make connections with
fellow Grand Circle
travelers eager to share their discoveries.

Overseas Adventure Travel
If you like being outdoors,
exploring off-the-beaten path, and meeting local people, then OAT is for you.
You’ll stay at smaller lodgings that reflect the local culture and cruise with
the leader in Small Ship Travel. Because we travel in small groups (never more
than 10-24 travelers – guaranteed!), we enjoy a more intimate, personal, and
authentic experience.
Land Adventures
Our small-group land
adventures—never more than 10-16 travelers, guaranteed!—give us unfettered
access to locales and activities that larger tour groups can only dream of, while
treading lightly on the environment. Throughout your journey, you’ll experience
unique modes of transportation that connect you to the culture, enjoy accommodations
that reveal the essence of your destination, and participate in small-group
cultural activities. Every adventure is packed with in-depth discoveries.

Small Ship Adventures
Our Small Ship Adventures ply
the rivers, oceans, and even canals of the world. Each ship is privately owned
or chartered by OAT. You’ll slip into the smaller ports that larger ships could
never reach, for the most unique discoveries. And though you may share the
cruise portion of your adventure with another OAT group, you’ll enjoy the
dedicated services of your own Trip Leader. Along the way, you’ll gain insight
into some of the world’s most remote and fascinating destinations. What’s more,
you’ll share your experiences exclusively with other OAT travelers.
