Dear Traveler,
When I was growing up, we had a desktop globe in the den. I loved giving it a spin and watching the continents and oceans whirling by. Then I would close my eyes and use my finger to make it stop. Wherever it landed, I told myself that was where I would visit someday— and that early spark that ignited my passion for travel burns brighter every day.
Fulfill your own childhood travel dreams with our 2027 Small Group Adventures by Land & Small Ship featuring adventures to all seven continents— from thrilling wildlife safaris in Africa and immersive cultural experiences across Asia and the Americas to life-changing expeditions at the bottom of the world in Antarctica.
In addition to our tried-and-true adventures, I am thrilled with the successful launch of our new Immersions adventures. These 8- to 12-day active itineraries with a deeper focus on nature, wildlife, and cultural connections are already proving so popular, we just introduced a dozen more for 2027— taking you everywhere from the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and hidden villages of Sicily to the remote wilds of Patagonia, and beyond. See inside for details.
We also offer myriad ways for you to customize your experience— from trip extensions to arriving early, and more— to make every adventure exclusively yours. And we continue to make the world more accessible for our solo travelers with free Single Supplements on all Land Adventures.
In the coming year and beyond, I hope the breadth of destinations and travel styles inspire you to explore the world with O. A. T. If you need help deciding where to go, you can always give that desktop globe a spin.
Warm regards,
Harriet Lewis Chair
