Our Mission
Our whole purpose at Collette Vacations is to fulfill vacation dreams. Our daily goal is to deliver to our family of travelers the highest quality, best value and exceptional service—every time, everywhere. Our greatest reward is planning your next trip.

The Collette Difference
As a guest on a Collette Vacations tour, we offer so much more for your money: the services of a professional tour manager who accompanies you throughout your trip handling all details both large and small; expert local guides who give insightful tours; complimentary hotel-to-hotel baggage handling; key sightseeing; welcome and farewell dinners featuring local cuisine; and unique discovery experiences that will leave you saying, “I never would have known to see, do, or try that.” And being family-owned means Collette takes a more personal approach to travel which you’ll see and experience with everyone you work with at Collette.

Explorations
Collette Vacations recently launched Explorations by Collette, a new kind of vacation created specifically for those travelers who seek to explore our world in a smaller group setting. With only 16-24 passengers per trip, the benefits of group travel blend perfectly with the freedom to pursue individual experiences, making an Explorations tour truly the best of both worlds.

Smithsonian Journeys Travel Adventures
Offering the best value-priced learning vacations worldwide, these custom-crafted tours are created for adventurous travelers who seek the thrill of discovery and learning, combined with flexibility and economical rates. And local expert speakers really make the difference between simply seeing, and truly understanding, the destination.

The Collette Foundation
The Collette Foundation was launched to commemorate our 90th anniversary and the goal of this employee-run, global humanitarian effort is to improve the lives of children worldwide. Passengers on certain Collette tours will have the opportunity to visit a Collette Foundation site from destinations as diverse as Tibet and New England.
