Insight Vacations has expanded its premium guided travel portfolio with the introduction of a new Small Group Tours collection featuring 35 itineraries across five continents.
Now open for bookings for 2027 departures, the collection has been developed for travellers seeking smaller group sizes and more immersive experiences. Most itineraries are capped at 24 guests, while selected Africa journeys will accommodate a maximum of 18 travellers.
The new tours retain the brand’s premium inclusions, including hand-picked accommodation, guided experiences, luxury coaches with additional legroom, and access to Travel Directors and Local Specialists.
The launch reflects growing demand for smaller-scale travel experiences focused on comfort, access and deeper engagement with destinations. Insight Vacations said the itineraries were designed to offer experiences that may be more difficult to accommodate with larger groups.
Featured itineraries include Country Roads of Portugal, where guests explore the Ria Formosa lagoon with a marine biologist and visit a local oyster farm; Wonders of Japan, which includes a hands-on bonsai experience with a Bonsai Master Apprentice; and Northern Lights of Scandinavia, featuring a stay in Aurora Cabins in Saariselkä, Finland.
In Africa, small group departures include Ancient Wonders of the Nile and Kenya Safari with Maasai Mara, with guest numbers limited to 18.
The collection also forms part of the company’s broader strategy to appeal to repeat travellers seeking a different perspective on familiar destinations through more personalised and experience-led itineraries.
To support the launch, Insight Vacations has introduced a dedicated selling guide for travel advisors outlining the collection, traveller profiles and tour highlights.
“Travellers are looking for the ease of guided travel, but with more space to connect deeply with the places they visit,” said Mae Cheah, managing director, Asia, TTC Tour Brands. “This is a significant expansion of our portfolio, and for advisors, it creates new opportunities to offer clients an even more immersive way to travel, backed by the quality and expertise they already expect from Insight Vacations.”
