Geographic Expeditions (GeoEx) has announced the addition of two new women-only itineraries to its Women of the World Collection. The travel company will now offer female-focused trips to Turkey and Cuba, expanding on its existing women’s trips to Namibia this September and October.

The new itineraries, "Treasures of Turkiye" and "Cuba Unveiled," are set to begin in October and November 2025, respectively. These trips are designed for women seeking cultural experiences and connections with like-minded travelers.

"GeoEx's Women of the World Collection has always been about more than just travel; it's about creating life-changing experiences that resonate with our travelers long after they return home,” said Katia Kravtchenko, head of marketing at Geographic Expeditions. “We are excited to bring our female travelers the opportunity to connect with the inspiring local women who are shaping their communities throughout Turkey and Cuba."

The Turkey itinerary spans 12 days and includes visits to Istanbul and Izmir, as well as a five-night sail along the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Travelers will explore historical sites, visit women-owned art galleries and experience a private whirling dervish performance in an underground cistern, among other highlights.
