Jules Verne has unveiled its new Worldwide Collection for 2027/28, bringing together over 120 small group tours across more than 80 destinations and introducing a range of new itineraries for 2027.
Designed for curious travellers seeking deeper cultural experiences, the collection includes escorted tours, rail journeys, wildlife adventures and river cruises. Among the new additions for 2027 are new tours to Venice, Malta and Madeira, as well as longer-haul adventures across India, China, Japan and the Five Stans.
“Demand for authentic, experience-led travel continues to grow, and we’ve been busy developing an exciting programme of new tours for 2027 alongside the destinations and journeys our customers already love,” says Simon Grove, Head of Product at Jules Verne.
Business Development Manager for Jules Verne, Abbey Cousins, adds: “Our new Worldwide Collection offers travel agents even more opportunities to inspire their clients and grow bookings, with a range of new experiences across some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. From exploring the cultural treasures of Japan, uncovering the history of the Silk Road in the Five Stans, or rediscovering favourite European destinations in a deeper and more immersive way.”
To coincide with the launch, Jules Verne is offering two early booking incentives for 2027, running until the end of the month. Travellers can save £250 on each 2027 booking when booked by 31 October quoting ‘EARLY250’, while a reduced deposit of just £27 per person is payable at the point of booking during the same period.
With almost 50 years of experience in escorted touring, Jules Verne specialises in small group holidays, with a maximum of 16 travellers, that take guests beyond the guidebook through expert local insight, cultural immersion and meaningful experiences.
The programme is particularly popular with solo travellers, who make up more than a third of Jules Verne customers. With all travellers having their own room, low and even no single supplement payable on several tours, and a selection of solo-only departures available, Jules Verne is a natural choice for agents with solo travelling clients.
The operator is a Which? Recommended Provider for Escorted Tours, reflecting its commitment to high levels of customer service and carefully crafted holiday experiences.
Travel agents can request digital copies of the new Worldwide Collection today via Menzies.
