Personal Premium Travel: Insight Vacations Launches New Collection of Small Group Tours

Personal Premium Travel: Insight Vacations Launches New Collection of Small Group Tours

Insight Vacations has launched a new collection of small group tours.

Premium guided travel brand Insight Vacations has expanded its portfolio with the launch of a new Small Group Tours collection with 35 itineraries spanning five continents, most capped at just 24 guests, with select Africa tours limited to 18. 

Now available to book for 2027 travel, the collection is built for travellers who value comfort, quality, access and meaningful connection to each destination. It offers guests an even more personal premium travel experience, including hand-selected hotels, elevated dining, luxury coaches with extra legroom, expert Travel Directors and Local Specialists.

“Travellers are looking for the ease of guided travel, but with more space to connect deeply with the places they visit. Insight Vacations Small Group Tours were designed to meet that demand, bringing travellers closer than ever to the heart of each destination,” says Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO and Chief Sales Officer of 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.”

The launch arrives as demand for smaller, more intentional travel continues to accelerate. For advisors, that translates to an easy-to-position product with a strong selling proposition: premium travel, smaller groups and deeper experiences. 

The collection is also a natural re-engagement tool. Past Insight Vacations guests and repeat Europe travellers who feel they’ve “done” a destination may find this a compelling reason to return and explore it in a more immersive way. 

Every itinerary in the collection is built around experiences that larger groups may not be able to access as easily. Highlights include:

Country Roads of Portugal, where guests boat through the Ria Formosa lagoon with a marine biologist before visiting an oyster farm for a fresh tasting.

Wonders of Japan, where guests meet a Bonsai Master Apprentice for a hands-on exploration of bonsai artistry, philosophy, techniques and tradition.

Aurora Cabins in Finland.

Northern Lights of Scandinavia, which features a stay at Aurora Cabins in Saariselkä, offers a distinctive way to experience Finland’s northern wilderness.  

In Africa, itineraries are capped at 18 guests, including Kenya Safari with Maasai Mara (coming soon) and Ancient Wonders of the Nile, which features a private dinner on Al Ramady Island in an intimate Nile setting.

To support the launch, Insight Vacations is providing advisors with a dedicated Small Group Tours selling guide, offering a practical overview of the collection, key selling points, traveler profiles and featured tour highlights. Advisors can visit agents.ttc.com to explore the full Insight Vacations Small Group Tours portfolio, access selling tools and start booking.
