Cox & Kings has unveiled its 2027/28 small group tours brochure, featuring 18 new itineraries across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, Asia and North America.
The programme marks the operator’s ‘most ambitious new product launch’ since joining the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) in 2019, covering new destinations, longer regional journeys, specialist-led tours and dedicated departures for solo travellers.
Client research undertaken by Cox & Kings has informed the collection, with the company noting demand for exploration, history, culture and learning, expert insight, authentic local encounters and destinations beyond the established tourist trail.
European itineraries include the 16-night ‘Grand Tour of Central Europe’, which travels from Berlin to Prague, and the 17-day ‘Grand Tour of the Balkans’, with stops in seven countries including Slovenia and Turkiye.
Cox & Kings’ North American offering ranges from the 15-day ‘The Atlantic Passage: Nova Scotia to New England’ to the 14-day ‘Rockies to Pacific: Mountains, Rainforests and Coastal Cities’.
New destinations include Algeria, West Africa, Nepal and Bhutan (pictured), while the 14-day ‘Moorish Spain: El Cid to the Alhambra’ and the five-day ‘Rome: Patricians to Popes’ are among the itineraries led by specialist lecturers.
From 2027, dedicated solo departures will be available across 10 small group journeys, spanning the Indian Subcontinent, Latin America, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East and North Africa. Solo travellers do not pay a single supplement and are provided with a double or twin room for their own use at no extra cost.
All tours also have a maximum group size of 18, a reduction from Cox & Kings’ previous upper limit of 20, with a current average of 14 guests.
Managing Director Jennifer Charlton said: “This is our most ambitious new product launch since Cox & Kings joined AKTG, and it represents a significant step forward as we continue to expand the brand into new markets.
“Our research confirmed that our travellers are deeply curious. They want to explore, learn and understand, whether that is through art and architecture, history and archaeology, or by spending time with the people and communities who bring a destination to life.
“This new collection responds directly to that appetite, with longer journeys, new destinations and greater opportunities to travel with specialists who can offer a deeper understanding of the places we visit.”
