Jules Verne has launched its new Worldwide Collection brochure for 2025/26 with over 75 tours to destinations from Nepal to Namibia, Costa Rica to Cambodia, Tanzania to Turkmenistan and beyond.
The Worldwide Collection is the first of four brochures expected to be released as part of Jules Verne’s new series this year, which will also include dedicated brochures on its European, Cruise and Solo tours.
This will be the first time that the ‘Worldwide’ brochure does not feature any European destinations, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the incredible tours on offer from around the world.
Debbie O’Neill, Managing Director at Jules Verne, states:
“Supported by over 45 years of knowledge and experience, the new Worldwide Collection brochure showcases our ongoing commitment to providing travellers with extraordinary adventures and pioneering journeys – this has, and always will be, at the very heart of everything we do.
“Informed by booking trends, guest feedback, and a desire to meet the demand for new, inspiring, and memorable adventures, every tour has been carefully curated with customer experience at its heart.”
