MyEscapades is expanding its product lineup for travel advisors with the launch of new Special Small Group Departures, plus a 2027 Algarve long stay program.

Firdosh Bulsara, VP, MyEscapades, says both programs are designed to give advisors more ready-to-sell options for clients seeking curated, experience-focused travel.

The new small group departures span Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, with itineraries in Portugal, Spain, Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Peru, Argentina and Chile, along with safari programs in East and Southern Africa.

Groups are capped at 16 guests, with departures guaranteed from a minimum of two participants. Programs are priced in Canadian dollars and are fully commissionable.

Bulsara says the itineraries combine major destination highlights with local experiences, smaller-group touring and carefully selected routes. Programs include superior accommodations, select meals, guided excursions and itinerary-specific inclusions.

“For more than two decades, our team has built its reputation on creating travel experiences around culture, cuisine, history, wildlife and the character of a destination,” says Bulsara.

“Our Special Small Group Departures bring that same approach to travellers who enjoy the camaraderie of a small group but still want a more personal and carefully curated experience.”

Algarve Long Stays

MyEscapades is also offering a new 2027 Algarve Long Stay program in Albufeira.

The program includes roundtrip economy air from Toronto to Faro via Lisbon with TAP Air Portugal, apartment-style accommodations, airport transfers, meet-and-greet service, assistance settling in and local support from a MyEscapades representative.

Two departures are available. The first leaves Toronto on Feb. 25, 2027, returning March 18, with 20 nights at Cerro Mar Atlântico. One-bedroom apartments start at $3,099 per person based on double occupancy, plus $202.35 in air taxes.

The second departs March 8 and returns March 29, with accommodation at Ondamar Hotel Apartments. Studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments are available, with pricing starting at $2,059 per person based on four sharing, plus $202.35 in air taxes.

Both departures operate as group programs with a maximum of 30 participants.

“Long-stay travel gives clients the opportunity to experience a destination differently,” said Bulsara. “Rather than moving from place to place, travellers can settle in, explore at their own pace and experience more of the everyday lifestyle of the Algarve.”

Single supplements and extended stays are available on request, subject to air and accommodation availability.
