Award-winning travel company Albatross Tours has announced two new luxury itineraries for its 2026 season, each limited to just 20 guests to ensure a more intimate experience.
Both journeys will feature 5-star accommodation throughout, including carefully selected signature hotels that offer premium comfort and style.
Shelley Poten, Managing Director of Albatross Tours, said the new offerings were developed in response to strong interest from their customers.
“We have consulted with our customers over the last 18 months, and there is clearly a demand for our unique style of longer-duration, inclusive touring that incorporates 5-star hotel experiences,” Poten explained.
The tours are designed to provide travel advisors with a high-end alternative to complex FIT (Fully Independent Travel) planning—especially for clients seeking deeper exploration of Italy or Switzerland, paired with elevated hotel stays.
“These itineraries also provide advisors with an easy solution for their clients seeking an in-depth tour of Italy or Switzerland featuring elevated hotels – which can often be difficult to source and an excellent alternative to an FIT journey,” Poten added.
The announcement reflects Albatross Tours’ continued focus on quality, comfort, and curated experiences, building on its reputation as a two-time winner at the National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA).
