Real travel. Real adventure.

2019-2020 See the world like you’ve never seen it before.

Admit it. Sometimes, it seems as if the world moves so fast that it’s easy to lose track of what matters to us most. Exciting discoveries…new experiences…shared memories: this is the stuff of lives well-lived — and adventure travel brings it all within reach. Adventure travel expands our world, opening our eyes to new sights and sounds, and our souls to unexpected new experiences. It gives us permission to “ditch the script.” It enables us to reconnect: to share unforgettable times with friends both old and new. And it motivates us to try new things, which will turn into stories to be told and retold. Club Adventures by AAA Exclusive Vacations® takes you there — it is your backstage pass to new adventures. Ready? Let’s go!

3 Real travel. Real adventure.

Adventure moves each of us differently, and no two adventures are alike. Consider Club Adventures your go-to for adventure travel, ready to open doors and provide new experiences. Yes, we take you closer. But, we do it as a friend who knows how you like to travel — and as one who has deep connections around the world.

Powered by AAA Exclusive Vacations, Club Adventures blends together local adventure with 116 years of trip planning for Americans. So, you get the best adventure possible. We’ve done the research, made the connections and outlined the itinerary — but the narrative that unfolds is entirely yours to create.

There’s an amazing world out there waiting to be discovered. Come find it with us — and along the way change the way you look at your world.

“My perception of ‘adventure travel’ has definitely changed. I used to think of adventure travel as physically challenging. I know now that the adventure was for your mind, body and spirit. I challenged myself physically and mentally, stepped out of my comfort zone and tried new things. My spirit soared in Morocco!” — Christine L., Bethel, CT

4 Small groups. Big experiences.

In a world of over-engineered experiences, Club Adventures offers travelers a real glimpse into life in other places. Based on the belief that we are all locals, our goal is create connections that reveal a destination’s true character.

“I loved the small group atmosphere — it allowed us to experience some things that a larger group might not be able to. My trip to Peru was the most incredible experience I have ever had.” — Ginger P., Utica, NY

5 Ditch the script.

An itinerary gives you an idea of what to expect, but it’s far from the whole story. Often, the things you remember most from a trip are the unscripted moments. The charming café you stumble across by accident on your way to somewhere else. The fascinating object you happen upon at a market stall. The random stranger you ask to take your picture who shares a personal story about the landmark behind you. Those surprise moments need room to happen. That’s why our trips have plenty of free time built in, and Local Leaders to help guide both the planned and unplanned parts of your adventure — making the most out of the time you have. We help you unlock the power of travel unscripted and journey unbound.

“Our trip was absolutely AMAZING! I love that it is a small group tour that offers lots of time for personal exploration. Everyone truly went above and beyond to ensure we were completely taken care of and given the best tour possible.” — Amanda M., Boulder, CO

We believe that curiosity is the powerful force for good in our world, a true catalyst for change, and that travel is its engine. So, stay curious. Infinitely curious.

“Our tour guide was excellent, accommodating, the best! The culturally immersive itinerary set it apart, and to me that's why you travel — not just to see a site. Local guides were wonderful, friendly, helpful, attentive. Hotels and riads were amazing. Best trip ever for me!” — Vicki B., Raleigh, NC

Trip Code: 9IRELUNC Go local and hear the genuine stories that come with Irish hospitality.

As they say in Irish Gaelic, “céad mÃle fáilte!” — or, quite literally, a hundred thousand welcomes! It’s a popular greeting in Ireland, and one that resonates beyond just the words themselves. You’ve come to a place where a sense of welcoming is as treasured and nurtured as the stories that define Ireland. This is a place where history melds with modernization, and where both tragedy and triumph define the legends and folklore. As we get off the beaten track, you’ll discover for yourself a country brimming with centuries of stories, filled with people passionate about telling them. You’ll laugh, you’ll be awed, and most of all — you’ll be welcomed.

The stones beneath our feet tell centuries of stories.

There are secrets to be discovered everywhere in Ireland. Every cairn, every castle turret, every opulent mansion and prehistoric monument has a tale to tell. From the heroic EUROPE sagas to the rural folklore, you’ll discover a complex and | tumultuous history that is felt as deeply now as it was when ancient castles were still being built. All you have to do is listen.

And then of course, we’ll make our own stories.

And when, of course, you’ve jump-started your journey, when you’ve let the adventure unfold, then you’ll have stories of your own to carry with you. From the people you met, to the “craic” you had, to the simplest moments that had the biggest impact, you will leave Ireland a different UNCOVERED IRELAND traveler than you arrived — with memories you’ll cherish forever, and a piece of yourself woven into the tapestry of this dynamic country. 33 AZORES: ISLAND DISCOVERY | EUROPE 34 Lake of Sete Cidades Single Supplement: startingat$500 Supplement: Single 2019 DATES 2020 DATES MEALS REST YOURHEAD HIGHLIGHTS Hotels subjecttochange.

Each island in the Galápagos is special, and many theories exist regarding the unique nature of the flora and fauna. The beauty of the islands is inspirational: gorgeous beaches, green highlands, magnificent underwater seascapes, huge volcanoes and distinct endemic animals.

EXPLORE AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND | SOUTH PACIFIC Canal Cruising: The Ultimate

in Exploration

Who says adventure can’t be relaxing? Climb aboard and prepare for an exploration like no other; and float straight through a destination on a comfortable canal cruise. These canal barges are built to accommodate a smaller group of passengers compared to their larger equivalent — the river boat — and boast food and wine, modern staterooms and onboard staff.

The culinary experience on these small ships is unlike any other. Lunch and dinners are not rushed affairs, they’re multi-course experiences, courtesy of the onboard restaurant. This allows you to savor the regional flavors, without having to rush back to a bus or hotel.

Canal cruises are made for leisure, relaxation and exploration, with care and consideration put into the onboard experience so you can focus on the destination. Take your signature accommodation with you as you drift through the canals of France, or the waterways of central Africa, experiencing these regions from a different perspective. For day-by-day itineraries on our canal cruises, see pages 25, 40 and 41.

EXPERT TIP: Many French ships come equipped with “Having been to France multiple times, cruising bicycles on board. So, while your ship transfers through the many locks along the route, you can opt to hop off and along the canals of Burgundy was my absolute cycle along the canal or into a village for time unscripted, favorite. The scenery is constantly changing, and before meeting back up with the barge at the next lock. you’ve only unpacked your bag once! It’s paced so perfectly that hopping off and going to explore a city for an unscripted adventure is as easy as relaxing in the onboard Jacuzzi or in the ship’s lounge. The food brings to life an exciting destination and waving at locals makes you feel at home. This is a perfect adventure for someone who wants to leave the planning and travel by the wayside and just go with the flow.”
