Collette launched its new Explorations brochure for 2025-2026 tours. The 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 travellers 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 travellers 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 travellers, 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 travellers 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.
