Jules Verne has shared five of its top itineraries from its 2026 collection of small-group escorted tours, from the spice-scented souks of Morocco and the shimmering temples of Sri Lanka to the storied banks of the Nile and the legendary Silk Road.

The 2026 programme reflects Jules Verne’s hallmark approach: carefully curated itineraries, knowledgeable guides and immersive moments that bring destinations to life.
Travellers can expect small group sizes, off-the-beaten-track cultural treasures and opportunities to connect with local communities in meaningful ways.
Every Jules Verne journey is designed to inspire curiosity and create lasting memories, now with greater flexibility thanks to both its flight and transfer-inclusive and tour-only options.
This means travellers can choose a preferred departure airport, airline, cabin class and flight time, or choose no flight at all and arrange this themselves.
Debbie O’Neill, Managing Director, said: “At Jules Verne, we believe travel should be more than just a checklist of sights, but a transformative chance to engage deeply with the world. Our 2026 tours reflect that ethos, offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences paired with expert insights in destinations that stir the imagination.
“For example, guests can explore Morocco’s labyrinthine medinas and cinematic desert landscapes, uncover Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle and wildlife sanctuaries or follow in the footsteps of Silk Road traders through Uzbekistan’s dazzling cities.
“Egypt remains a cornerstone of our collection. After the success of 2025’s unique tour in partnership with Eleanor Mills and NOON, which put female empowerment at the heart of the trip.
“We’re excited to be planning ahead for part two in Luxor for 2026. This builds on our continued commitment to creating journeys that empower and connect.”
