EF Ultimate Break has announced a reimagined collection of College Break tours, designed for Gen-Z travelers aged 18 to 24 years old.

Part of EF World Journeys, EF Ultimate Break is a tour operator that specializes in the 18- to 35-year-old travel demographic. The brand offers over 175 trips, with specialty itineraries such as the BookTok collection of novel-inspired tours and alcohol-free sober journeys.

The new College Break tours were created for college-aged travelers and have a maximum age of 24. The collection is over 20 tours in popular tourism destinations from around the world, including Japan, Costa Rica, Italy, and Peru.

Most tours range from eight to 11 days in duration, with the option of a 35-day “Ultimate Europe” trip that visits 14 cities. The price includes transportation while on the trip, some meals, and a tour guide.

“College is when so many of us catch the travel bug, especially as first-time international travelers, but it’s also when budgets are tightest and logistics feel most overwhelming,” said Emma Topp, EF Ultimate Break’s travel expert. “By creating tours specifically for college-aged students, we’re giving Gen Z a more authentic and immersive travel experience with aspiring globetrotters who get it: peers with similar interests navigating the same stage of life and seeking out personal growth.”
