We love a generous tour company. One that delivers exceptional trips, new ways to showcase the world, and offers discounts to make travel savings stretch further. Like Albatross Tours, who do all that (their early bird sale is on until 31 July, btw), and have new tours, new destinations, a new luxury collection, and better, longer tours. Whoa!
For over 30 years, award-winning Albatross Tours have been delivering thoughtful itineraries to Europe’s most desirable destinations.
Discover what’s new, what’s improved, what’s a favourite, and how to secure $350 off per person per tour from your client’s 2026 summer Europe tours.
New for 2026
As the Australian appetite for Europe grows, so too, does the Albatross Tours portfolio. Which is why they’ve added the Balkans (so hot right now) to their 2026 touring schedule.
Your clients can now discover the region’s rich history, diverse cultures, and spectacular landscapes on two new tours:
- Mountains, Myths & Ancient Empires featuring Macedonia, Greece, Corfu & Meteora: This 18-day adventure showcases Balkan hotspots, travelling from Sofia, Bulgaria to Athens, Greece. Your clients may be familiar with Meteora and Delphi in Greece, but what about other hand-selected touring highlights like the Vrelo Caves – the world’s deepest underwater caves – the fascinating UNESCO Bay of Bones Museum, and stunning Vikos Gorge? There’s one way to rectify that! From $14,887 per person twin share.
- Crossroads of Balkan Empires featuring Romania & Transylvania, Serbia & Bulgaria: Traversing ancient towns, historic monuments, and breathtaking natural wonders, this 19-day journey suits travellers seeking an elevated European experience next year. Touring highlights include one of Europe’s most significant archaeological sites at Lepinski Vir, Rogljevačke Pivnice’s wine cellars, and a private tour and dinner at Bran Castle (yes, that one). From $11,247 per person twin share.
Europe upgraded
Match your clients seeking premium European experiences with Albatross’ two new Luxury Collection tours. With limited departures capped at 20 passengers, these will sell out.
- Italian Splendour – Lakes, Tuscany, Umbria & Amalfi Coast: This luxe itinerary tours Italy’s most mesmerising regions, kicking off with four nights at the famous Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromes on Lake Maggiore – a Martini at the Hemingway Bar is a must! The decadence continues with a private boat cruise on Lake Como, Tuscan olive oil tasting, and a tour around Perugia’s ancient ruins. All this, plus stunning stays, including Grand Hotel Des Illes Borromes on Lake Maggiore’s shores and award-winning Santa Caterina in Amalfi. From $22,987 per person twin share.
- Swiss Grandeur featuring the Glacier Express: This new journey upgrades your clients’ 2026 travels on an inspiring 15-day tour from Milan to Zurich. First-class train rides on the classic Bernina Express and jaw-dropping Glacier Express are just part of the tour’s charm. There are also scenic cable car rides, postcard-perfect alpine villages, and a stay at the famous Chedi in Andermatt! From $21,447 per person twin share.
Traveller’s favourites
Let’s not forget some of Australia’s favourite Albatross Tours that have garnered the brand such a stellar reputation. Like:
- Italian Grande: This 18-day journey is ideal for newcomers to Europe and well-travelled regulars.

From $12,987 per person twin share.
- Croatia & the Adriatic: If a rich adventure along the azure Adriatic coastline appeals, your clients will love this 13-day touring favourite. Alongside time in Trogir, Hvar, and Dubrovnik, guests stay two nights in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and day trip to picturesque Montenegro. From $10,447 per person twin share.
- Italy Deep South & Sicily: On this appealing 17-day tour around Italy and Sicily’s most beloved landmarks, highlights include a stay in a Matera cave, Mount Etna day trip, and Sicily’s stunning Zingaro Nature Reserve. From $15,887 per person twin share.
