Albatross Tours has extended its early bird season to 30 August 2024 with savings of $350 per person on all tours and all dates for Summer 2025.

Managing Director Shelley Poten shared her excitement: “The response to our 2025 Summer program has been fantastic with advisors recognising the quality of our touring style – and with flight prices coming down we want to enable more agents and customers to benefit.”

This extension is part of several key trade initiatives introduced in recent months. These initiatives include an extended partnership with Evolution Travel Collective (ETC), adding Mint as a payment option, and the successful reception of the 2025 brochures. Additionally, selected agents have enjoyed fam trips, including the full 18-day ‘Italian Grande’ tour.

Just listen to what travel advisors Zoe Li and Jackie Pool from Phil Hoffmann Travel had to say:

“My trip with Albatross on the popular Italian Grande Tour was a truly unique and immerse experience,” Zoe said. “The places we visited, the accommodations we stayed, and the food we enjoyed, everything offered by Albatross Tours fulfilled all my fantasies about Italy!”

Jackie Pool, also from Phil Hoffmann Travel, echoed these sentiments: “What a great immersive experience with Albatross Tours! I really enjoyed the longer stays in wonderful centrally located hotels with day tours to visit iconic sights with lots of information from the tour manager. Truly a remarkable experience.”

Like all Albatross itineraries, the Italian Grande is designed for Australian & New Zealand travellers, is a small group (max 28) and has longer stays. Starting in Milan the first stop is four nights in Stresa, hello Lake Maggiore! It then heads for an astounding 2-night stay in a fortress-now-hotel at CastelBrando. Five – yes – five nights in Tuscany allow for immersion in all we love about the region. Then South to Spoleto, Umbria, followed by three nights on the Amalfi coast and final stop in Rome.
