Nearly 5,000 are feared to have died in the disaster after two major earthquakes struct the region on Monday (6 February). Until 30 April, Intrepid will also donate all profits from bookings for trips to Turkey to the appeal.


Its foundation has partnered with the Australian Red Cross to ensure funds are allocated to provide both immediate and longer-term relief to communities affected by the earthquakes.


Intrepid will match donations to the Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal while covering the foundation’s administrative costs, ensuring 100% of donations go directly to the Australian Red Cross.
