Alexander+Roberts Unveils 2027/28 Journeys Brochure with 12 New Tours

Tour operator Alexander+ Roberts has released its 2027/28 global Journeys brochure, featuring 12 new tours spread across Europe and Latin America. Most of these are Private Journeys that can depart any day with just your clients and their travel companion(s), and two are Small Group Journeys with never more than 16 guests. The new journeys arrive in time for A+R’s 80th year in 2027.

“Eighty years in, what I love most is that we’re still finding new places to take people,” said Scott Avera, president of Alexander+Roberts. “Some of these journeys go where our guests have been asking us to go for years, like Puglia and the Pantanal. Others take a route people already know and do it our way, whether that’s a Trip Leader who knows Italy inside out or a night at Machu Picchu so you’re there before anyone else. I can’t wait to see where our advisor partners send their clients first.”

Four of the new Journeys are in Italy, covering destinations from the lakes in the north to Puglia in the heel of the boot.

• Spectacular Italy: Rome, Tuscany + Venice (11 days, small group) – This is A+R’s first Small Group Journey on the classic Rome, Florence, and Venice route, with an Italian Trip Leader the whole way and two nights in Umbria. Departing Sept. 13 and Oct. 16, 2027, with four more dates in 2028.
• Southern Italy: Puglia + Matera (eight days, private) – Stay right in Matera’s ancient Sassi cave dwellings, then head into Puglia for bread-making in Altamura, family winery tastings, and the trulli of Alberobello.
• Milan, the Lake District + Venice (nine days, private) – Two lakes and two wine regions fit into one journey, with private boat excursions on Lake Como and Lake Garda, tastings in Franciacorta and Valpolicella, and a water-taxi arrival in Venice.
• Florence, Portofino + Cinque Terre (seven days, private) – Go from Renaissance Florence to the Ligurian coast by way of the Carrara marble quarries, with a private boat day to Portofino and a full day in Cinque Terre.

Two new journeys are available in France, with both starting in Paris and heading south, one to the Riviera and one to vineyards of the Loire and Bordeaux.

• Paris, the Riviera + Provence (10 days, private) — Take first-class rail to Nice, then a chauffeured drive to Avignon via Aix-en-Provence, with hotels in three tiers and a choice of sightseeing at every stop.
• Enchanting France: Paris, the Loire Valley + Bordeaux (nine days, private): This is the countryside and wine side of France, with full days at Chambord, Chenonceau, and Saint-Émilion, where clients will visit two private estates, including a Grand Cru.

Three new rail journeys let clients see several cities in Central and Eastern Europe without the hassle of driving.

• Berlin, Frankfurt + Munich by Rail (10 days, private) – Choose included tours from Cold War history in Berlin to food and culture in Munich.
• Munich, Salzburg + Vienna by Rail (10 days, private) – Follow Mozart and The Sound of Music into Austria and finish with imperial Vienna and Schönbrunn Palace.
• Warsaw + Krakow (seven days, private): Select private outings in each city, from Chopin’s birthplace outside Warsaw to Wawel Castle and Schindler’s Factory in Krakow.

Finally, three new tours explore the wildlife of Latin America, from Galapagos tortoises to jaguars.

• Galapagos Islands + Peru’s Andes (16 days, small group) – Explore Quito, the Galapagos by land and yacht, and Peru’s Sacred Valley and Cuzco, with a night at Machu Picchu so your clients can see it twice, including early morning before the crowds.
• Patagonia by Land + Sea (10 days, private) – Guided stays in Buenos Aires and Santiago bookend four nights aboard the 100-cabin Ventus Australis, rounding Cape Horn to the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego, with El Calafate and Torres del Paine extensions available.
