Overseas Adventure Travel Launches 2027 Immersions Collection

Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), recognized as a pioneer in small-group travel for the over 50 demographic, has announced an exciting new chapter with the launch of its 2027 Immersions Collection. This collection embraces the essence of authentic travel by offering a range of thoughtfully curated journeys designed for today’s busy traveler.

A Response to Traveler Needs

In developing the Immersions Collection, O.A.T. took into account years of feedback from their valued travelers.
