Explore Worldwide launches sale on new ‘Upgraded’ tour collection

Explore Worldwide has launched a sale with up to 20 per cent off its new Explore Upgraded collection.

This limited-time sale offers discounts on premium small-group adventures across four continents for travel between 1 June and 31 December 2026.

Explore Upgraded combines the best of Explore’s adventure DNA – small groups, expert local guides, and responsible travel – with premium accommodation.

Since the launch of the collection late last year bookings have been strong for Explore. The Upgraded – Botswana Wildlife Safari and Upgraded – Discover Morocco tours have proved best-sellers for the region.

Emma Fehon from the Australia & New Zealand Explore team joined the inaugural Upgraded – Discover Morocco tour.

“The riads we stayed in were stunning – each one full of colour, craftsmanship and calm after a day of exploring,” Fehon said. “I’ll never forget dinner under the night sky in the Agafay Desert or having homemade tagine with a local family in Fes.”

Off the back of the inaugural tour, Explore Worldwide has launched a limited-time 20 per cent off sale across its new Explore Upgraded collection – typically staying in 4-star and often locally-owned accommodation. Available to book from 8 to 21 May 2025 the sale includes more than 20 itineraries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

“Our Upgraded trips are very immersive and experiential and are ideal for the traveller that would like a little more comfort to come back to at the end of a day’s adventures,” Fehon said. “The sale gives our agents a compelling way to attract returning travellers and new audiences looking for an experience that’s elevated, but still authentic, responsible and small group.”
