Jules Verne is spotlighting its deep-rooted expertise in India with the launch of its new India Collection, a portfolio of unforgettable itineraries designed to reveal the country’s unique blend of history, culture and natural splendour.

This campaign marks a fresh chapter in Jules Verne’s long-standing connection with the region, inviting travellers to experience India beyond the expected.
Throughout November, customers can enjoy 10% off all India tours booked using the code IC25 between 1st and 30th November 2025, valid for travel in 2026 and 2027.
Venturing further afield than the conventional bucket-list attractions, these tours and cruises offer unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences like witnessing Mysore Palace illuminated by thousands of lights or riding the UNESCO-listed Toy Train through the Himalayan foothills.
Debbie O’Neill, Managing Director, states: “For over 25 years, Jules Verne has been guiding curious explorers through the heart of India, unveiling its beauty, spirit, and vibrant contrasts in ways that linger long after the trip ends.
“From our very first unforgettable charter to Agra to the many immersive tours that followed, our connection with India has only deepened with every traveller we’ve welcomed. Now, we’re thrilled to introduce our India Collection, a curated selection of journeys designed to showcase the country’s rich heritage, spiritual depth, and breathtaking landscapes.”
The India Collection showcases a diverse range of accommodation, including heritage havelis, royal palaces, boutique retreats, and renowned city hotels, including properties from the Taj Hotel group.
Each stay is selected to reflect the character of its location, offering comfort and a powerful sense of place.
Jules Verne’s commitment to seamless travel is evident from the first enquiry to the travel back home. With international flights included and expert guidance from its UK-based team and trusted local partners at Sita in India, travellers benefit from attentive service and a hassle-free experience.
O’Neill concludes: “Whether you’re drawn to the timeless allure of the Taj Mahal, the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, or the sacred rhythms of Varanasi, each itinerary offers a perfect blend of discovery, comfort, and authenticity.
“We invite you to explore India with Jules Verne – where every detail is thoughtfully arranged, and every moment is crafted to inspire.”
