This holiday season, why not add some great tour destinations to your wish list? "Don't be afraid to dream big," declares Collette blogger Kristen Gilbert, who provides a list of some of the tour operator's grandest adventures:

The Complete European Journey

This tour visits iconic European cities - London, Prague, Rome and Paris - and guests get to have some of each locale's signature experiences.

Antarctica and Chile's Patagonia

Patagonia is located at the southern tip of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. The Chilean Patagonia, "is a magnificent spot to take in the rugged coastline, islands and incredible scenery," Gilbert said. Horseback riding, cycling, trekking, kayaking or rafting are all options.

Majestic Antarctica is a wildlife lover's dream with whales and several species of penguins to spot.

Dubai, Oman, Abu Dhabi

This trip to the nations of the United Arab Emirates is a journey through "one of the most ultramodern, technologically advanced parts of the world," Gilbert said, adding that beyond the 21st-century skyscrapers and attractions, ancient traditions are still evident.
