Luxury Escorted Pacific Northwest Tour Debuts for Irish Travel Trade
Specialist operator Purely Travel has launched what is believed to be the first luxury escorted tour focused on Oregon and Washington State to be actively on sale in the Irish market for many years, creating a significant new opportunity for the travel trade to sell the Pacific Northwest with confidence. There has been no comparable high end, trade friendly escorted programme centred specifically on Oregon and Washington available to Irish agents in recent years. Purely Travel’s new Pacific Northwest Adventure addresses that gap with a fully curated, premium touring experience, reintroducing the region to the Irish escorted touring space in a meaningful and commercially viable way.
Beginning in Seattle, Washington and concluding in Portland, Oregon, the itinerary combines vibrant urban culture with dramatic natural landscapes, acclaimed wine regions and immersive local experiences. Highlights include Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park, the Oregon Coast, the Willamette Valley wine region and Crater Lake National Park, alongside carefully selected accommodation and expert guiding throughout. Designed with Irish agents in mind, the itinerary offers a seamless alternative to self-drive touring, appealing to clients seeking a structured, comfortable and in-depth exploration of the Pacific Northwest.
A standout component of the programme is a Native American-led cultural experience, developed in partnership with First Nature Tours. This immersive encounter introduces guests to the heritage, stories and living traditions of Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, offering meaningful insight into Native American culture, deepening understanding of the region’s history and providing an authentic connection to local communities.
The launch responds to growing Irish demand for experiential USA travel beyond traditional gateways. Oregon and Washington State offer strong sustainability credentials, world-class food and wine, diverse outdoor adventure and authentic, less crowded touring routes. The new escorted programme positions the region as a premium yet accessible long-haul option within the luxury touring sector.
Fully commissionable and available to book now, the Pacific Northwest Adventure provides Irish travel agents with a differentiated, high-value USA product in a region that has been underrepresented in the escorted touring space.
The 13-day escorted Pacific Northwest Adventure tour includes carefully selected upscale accommodation, professional tour director, curated sightseeing experiences, a Native American-led cultural encounter, selected meals, all internal transportation and airport transfers. The departure date is 9 September to 21 September 2026.
