Pawtucket, RI (November 14, 2024) – Collette is excited to announce the launch of its new Explorations brochure for 2025-2026 tours. The inspirational guide features more than 50 small group tours on all seven continents.
“Small group Explorations tours have seen incredible growth from our advisor partners and direct consumer bookings over the past four years,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, president & CEO of Collette. “We’ve been designing small group journeys since 2008, crafting itineraries so travelers can experience destinations in more locally immersive ways that aren’t always possible with larger groups. These aren’t our Classic tours with a limit on group size. All Explorations’ itineraries are tailored specifically to take advantage of the lower number of travelers which cap at 24 but typically average 19. This means more intimate excursions, boutique hotels and other unique accommodations, and diverse methods of local transportation.”
Explorations tours are a hit with travelers, who rank their experience as “excellent” (the survey’s highest rating) 78% of the time. The emphasis put on a more relaxed pacing, exploring less-traveled destinations within a region, more opportunities to engage with local communities and culture, plus the ability for travelers to customize their experience with choice on tour and free time to explore their curiosity on their own are all driving factors in this success.
The new brochure also includes a preview of tours set to debut in 2026, featuring destinations like Canada, South Africa, Arizona, Vietnam, and Scandinavia.
Some of the most popular Explorations tours include:
- Exploring New Zealand’s Wonders
- Exploring South Africa, Victoria Falls & Botswana
- Tuscan & Umbrian Countryside
- Costa Rica: A World of Nature
- Kingdoms of Southeast Asia
- Alaska’s Northern Lights
The free brochure can be ordered for mail delivery or via a digital download at www.collette.com
