Travellers planning a European holiday in 2027 can save 20% per person on selected small group tours across Europe and Turkey as part of a new early booking promotion.

The Explore Worldwide Early Bird Sale runs from September 3 to 24 and applies to eligible departures travelling between January 1 and December 31, 2027.

The promotion coincides with the earlier release of the company’s 2027 Europe brochure, which has been brought forward from its usual November launch to September.

The move gives travel advisors additional time to familiarise themselves with the program and encourage clients to secure preferred itineraries and departure dates.

Ben Ittensohn, Explore Worldwide Regional Director AUNZ, said Europe remained high on Australians’ travel wish lists and the earlier brochure release would give both advisors and travellers more time to plan.

“The Early Bird Sale is a great opportunity to get ahead with travel planning for your clients and save 20% on selected trips,” Mr Ittensohn said.

The 2027 Europe program includes more than 140 small group itineraries covering walking, cycling, cultural and other activity based trips across Europe and Turkey, with options also designed for solo travellers joining a group.

Among the itineraries included in the promotion are the 14-night ‘Historic Baltic Republics’ journey through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, a seven-night ‘Malta and Gozo Discovery’ and the 13-night ‘Greek Island Wanderer’ through Athens, Syros, Paros, Naxos and Santorini.

Active options include hiking in the Dolomites, a seven-night walking itinerary through northern Italy and ‘Cycle the Dalmatian Coast’, an eight-day guided journey from Split to Dubrovnik via Hvar and Korcula.

The 20% discount applies to selected departures booked during the promotional period, with exclusive and private groups excluded.
