NEW YORK, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- City Experiences, a leading provider of world-class experiential travel offerings, is redefining how guests see the world with its expanded one-of-a-kind experiences across major global destinations. Part of Hornblower Group, a global leader in experiences and transportation, City Experiences delivers a vast array of water and land-based experiences in top cities around the world including Barcelona, Boston, Chicago, London, New York City, Paris, Rome and San Francisco, among others.

Supported by a refreshed website, a new brand campaign and introducing a rewards program, these initiatives will further build brand connectivity and enhance the user journey for its guests

In early 2021, City Experiences became the new brand name for Hornblower Group's growing portfolio of world-class water- and land-based offerings, seamlessly collecting multiple brands under one umbrella. Since then, new land-based companies joined City Experiences, including WALKS, Devour Tours and the launch of Venture Ashore. With these acquisitions, City Experiences further developed its portfolio outside its maritime roots, now providing a total experiential travel itinerary for its guests.

"City Experiences has built a collection of world-renowned land-based experiences, growing our portfolio outside of our maritime foundation and into a more holistic global experiential organization," said Kristina Heney, chief marketing and revenue officer, City Experiences. "To support our growth, we have dialed up the emotional engagement of our brands and are leaning heavily into digital technology to drive personalized communications. We are focused on what sets us apart, our own Tour Guides and Crew. It is through their passion and engagement that bridge that deeper connection with our guest and share the commitment we have in bringing people together through our unforgettable experiences."

City Experiences' refreshed portfolio features some of the most unique experiences in major travel destinations around the world, providing a personalized journey for guests who are either already at their destination and looking for a hidden local gem, or those booking ahead with wanderlust. Whether planning that long-overdue weekend sightseeing getaway with friends, organizing a family excursion through New York City with an exclusive first access visit to the Statue of Liberty, spending a dream honeymoon adventuring through Paris's most chic locales, or experiencing a bucket-list solo journey through Barcelona's best off-the-beaten-path food and wine spots, City Experiences helps people travel smarter and experience more.

To further support the guest digital journey, City Experiences launched a refreshed website, aimed to streamline the guest booking experience by offering a centralized booking location that features the company's full portfolio of unique water- and land-based offerings across its major travel destinations worldwide. It will also rollout with a new branding campaign, celebrating both its unique offerings as well as paying homage to its unmatched Crew and Expert Guides that make tours even more memorable.

Additionally, City Experiences launched a new rewards program for its guests. Designed to allow for more experiential travel opportunities within its portfolio, City Experiences Rewards is completely free and easily accessible through www.CityExperiences.com/rewards .Guests can collect travel points through their confirmed bookings that can be used to save on future purchases.
