Top options include Collette’s new ‘Best of Italy’, with bookings from May 26, 2024 onwards. “Our ‘Best of Italy’ Small Groups Explorations Tour is a fantastic way for travellers to enjoy Italian culture. On this new tour, they’ll be able to make their own decisions on what they’d like to experience during their trip,” says Collette CEO, Jaclyn Leibl-Cote.

Another favourite is the 19-day Kingdoms of Southeast Asia itinerary. “Travellers are flocking to explore Southeast Asia with Collette’s Explorations tours,” notes Jeff Roy, Executive VPof Revenue Management and Pricing at Collette. “Collette’s ‘Kingdoms of Southeast Asia’ tour gives travellers a taste of all the region has to offer. From history to natural beauties, we make sure to hit every attraction.”

There’s also the seven-day Spotlight on Paris tour, with departures as early as March 12, 2024. “Our many Spotlight tours like ‘Spotlight on Paris,’ are great for travellers who want to focus on and explore some of the globe’s most wonderful cities,” says Dan Sullivan Jr., Collette’s Executive Chairman. “Paris is such a fantastic place to visit, so we want our travellers to enjoy it to the fullest.
