Travelers can do more than tune into television station

The Discovery Channel launched a new brand of tours and travels that range from cruises and safaris to exploring ancient civilizations of the Incas and the Egyptians, and the history of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
 

Discovery Adventures will have themes that have tie-ins to places featured on Discovery Channel programs like "Dirty Jobs" and "Into the Unknown."
 

The brand will offer trips to destinations including Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, the Amazon, the Galapagos, India, Thailand, Cambodia, China, South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Alaska and the US. Southwest.
 

Departures begin in December.
 

The trips will run from three to 24 days and are being offered in partnership with the tour company G.A.P. Adventures.
 

Prices start at $2,000 per person, plus airfare, with the price covering lodging, breakfast and some other amenities. Groups will be small, just six to 15 people depending on the destination, with all trips suitable for families.
