Memorable Collette Tours with The Marriott Vacation Clubs

Real vacationers know it’s not enough to simply travel somewhere and visit the popular sites. You want to immerse yourself in the local culture to see what makes that location unique. Instead of just eating at a restaurant, you want to experience local cuisine with true, homegrown ingredients. And you want to see as much as possible without rushing yourself.

This is what makes a Collette vacation* the perfect way to use your Club Points.

Collette tours are built differently. They offer a mix of big destination must-sees with unique experiences you can only find through their tours. Collette pairs visits to landmarks with an evening spent on a farm, hotel stays with overnights in castles and glass igloos, and unique ways of traveling using sleds, tuk-tuks, and bus trips. They provide immersive experiences you can’t find anywhere else. Collette destinations include bucket-list locations in Europe, Asia, Africa, and more.
