Audley Travel has become Ensemble’s new Preferred Partner for 2026, marking a strategic step forward in the network’s range of upscale, customized FIT travel options. The collaboration expands Ensemble members’ access to Audley’s specialized training, webinars, trade resources and incentive programs while strengthening connections through in-person participation at Ensemble events throughout the year.
“This partnership is a fantastic way to continue our “Our Audley Loves Travel Advisors” program into 2026, and we’re looking forward to working directly with Ensemble’s member advisors and agencies to introduce our tailormade offering to their clients and help them to increase their sales,” said Cathy Kusuma Bennis, Audley Travel’s Vice President/Head of Trade Sales & Partnerships (North America), in a press statement.
Audley’s Custom Travel at Your Fingertips
The partnership creates opportunities for members to gain insight into Audley’s custom travel model, which focuses on detailed itineraries built around individual traveler preferences. The company, known for its regional expertise and flexible itineraries, curates experiences across seven continents, supported by on-the-ground specialists.
Audley Travel’s approach to tailor-made journeys is structured around consultation and customization rather than pre-packaged itineraries. The company’s tours emphasize immersion in local culture and nature while maintaining a high level of organization and comfort. Its itineraries combine notable sights with lesser-known attractions, designed to fit travelers’ specific timing, interests and preferred pace.
Sample Adventures
For example, Audley’s Luxury African Safari introduces travelers to wildlife and landscapes across southern and eastern Africa. Programs are customized by destination experts who coordinate stays in private reserves or intimate lodges. Popular stops include South Africa’s Kruger National Park, Kenya’s Masai Mara and Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Your clients can explore on guided game drives or private charter excursions, depending on their schedule and interests.
In Mexico, the Cities & Culture: Mexico City, Puebla & Oaxaca itinerary centers on art, history, and culinary heritage. The trip includes museum visits, local markets and walking tours focused on colonial architecture and traditional crafts. Accommodations reflect regional design, and transportation between Mexico City and Oaxaca is organized to allow flexible touring time.
Audley’s Cairo, Luxor & Aswan Overland trip is built around Egypt’s archaeological and cultural highlights. This itinerary includes travel along the Nile Valley with expert-led visits to the Great Pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and the temples at Luxor and Aswan. Your clients move between major sites by road and rail, allowing time to explore key landmarks in smaller groups.
In South America, the Culinary Tour of Peru merges gastronomy with cultural exploration, starting in Lima’s kitchens and markets and continuing into the Sacred Valley and Cusco. The itinerary combines food tastings, cooking demonstrations and farm visits alongside visits to major cultural sites.
With this new relationship with Ensemble, Audley Travel offers you comprehensive support, including trade-focused marketing materials, exclusive offers and booking incentives.
