MSC Croisières


For its 2026-2027 season, Solea is evolving the presentation of its offer with the launch of three thematic brochures.

The objective stated by the tour operator is to clarify its positioning as a specialist while supporting the expansion of its catalog.

The offering is now organized around three major universes: the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, the Caribbean, which for the first time benefit from a dedicated brochure, and Africa, proposed under the Equato by Solea brand.

This new organization should allow for greater emphasis on the various travel possibilities offered by the tour operator, from beach stays to tours, including personalized experiences.


Océan Indien : de nouvelles adresses et formats de séjour

In the Indian Ocean, Mauritius remains a priority market for Solea, with notably strengthened presence of Sunlife.

The tour operator also intends to rely on its partnerships with major hotel chains as well as its exclusive resale rights with Club Med.

Among the properties involved are notably Bali, the Seychelles, Kani and Finolhu in the Maldives.

The 2026/2027 catalog also enriches itself with new hotels and new stay formats in Mauritius, Réunion, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Bali.

In the Middle East, Solea maintains in its offering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jordan and Oman, with a selection oriented toward both urban discoveries and desert experiences. Several new upscale establishments complete the program.


Les Caraïbes disposent désormais de leur propre brochure

Another season novelty: Solea now dedicates a full brochure to the Caribbean. The tour operator also expands its catalog with two new destinations: Barbados and Dominica.

Known in particular for its Platinum Coast, Barbados enters the programming with a focus on luxury and beach stays.

Dominica, nicknamed the “nature island of the Caribbean”, completes the offer with a positioning more oriented toward intimate and ecotourism.

These two additions join the destinations already offered by Solea in the region, notably the French Caribbean (Antilles), the Dominican Republic and Mexico. The Mexican catalog also benefits from several new features, with new hotels as well as a new themed circuit.


Equato by Solea étoffe son offre en Afrique

Africa holds a special place in the tour operator’s strategy through Equato by Solea. The brand specializes in small-group or private tours, with itineraries that can be adjusted to meet travelers’ expectations and budgets.

For 2026/2027, Equato expands its program across several African markets, including Madagascar, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia.

New itineraries and properties thus complement the existing offering.


Deux marques pour développer le sur-mesure

Beyond its three destination universes, Solea also aims to differentiate itself through a more personalized offering with two complementary brands.
Signature d’Exception by Solea targets the high-end bespoke travel segment. The service includes pre-departure assistance with, notably, premium-seat selection, visa assistance, transfers in a prestige vehicle, Fast Track, and access to airport lounges.

On the other hand, Solea Villas offers a selection of villas and private residences with a pool. The collection is especially present in Mauritius, Réunion, the Seychelles, Bali, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, and the Dominican Republic.

To support the launch of this new season, Solea teams will embark on a national roadshow to meet travel agents starting at the season’s beginning.

Several stops are planned between September 8 and October 8, 2026: Paris, Avignon, Rennes, Brest, Lille, Toulouse, Lyon, Nice, Béziers, Biarritz, Montpellier, Saint-Étienne, Mulhouse, Nancy, Normandy and Reims.
