Karen Deveson, managing director of Collette for Australia and New Zealand reports that it is seeing strong growth in the New Zealand market as travellers increasingly prioritise smaller groups, deeper cultural connection, and thoughtfully paced journeys.
Each tour operates with an average of 19 travellers.
The new additions are Iconic South Africa, 13 days; Celtic Traditions, 13 days; Sardinia and Corsica, 15 days; Iconic Iceland, seven days; Italy Uncovered, 12 days; Gems of Tuscany, 11 days; Treasures of the Mekong, 12 days; Northwest Uncovered, 10 days.
To support the launch Collette has an early bird offer available on new retail bookings made before 31 August 2026.
Travellers can save up to 20% on 2027-2028 departures when booking with code EARLYBIRD27. Agents can offer extra value to their clients with Collette’s complimentary private chauffeur service to and from the airport, subject to conditions. Agents can also earn a $200 gift card for each deposited booking made as part of the early bird sale.
Collette has more than 8,000 guaranteed seats secured across its 2027 Small Group Explorations programme, giving agents greater confidence when recommending and closing bookings.
