In the heart of Central Europe lies a culturally rich country with a thousand years of history – the Czech Republic. Bask in the splendour and romance of Prague, its splendid capital city.

Take a walk along the city’s medieval Golden Lane and you’ll find out why it is called the “Golden City” or “The City of 100 Spires.”

Great Song Amazing Story Here is your exclusive first look at the story of Collette’s new theme song. While it has been a goal of ours to have a song to capture the essence of guided travel with Collette, we are very excited to announce that it has now come to fruition.

The lyrics and energy make it easier to communicate to your travellers the feeling of travelling with you and Collette. This song is a clear representation of our values and what guided travel is all about – shared experiences. This is your sneak peek of the story of its evolution.

THE STORY

We are thrilled to introduce to you, Show you the World, the new Collette song.

In 2015, Dan Sullivan met with the band, The Alternate Routes, who are fellow alumni of his alma mater, Fairfield University. They came together to discuss the creation of a song that shared the story of Collette: our nearly 100year history, family ownership, our values, and travelling the world.

The Alternate Routes, an up-and-coming band that was featured at the Sochi Olympics, and their track

Nothing More which was written for Newtown Kindness, were the natural choice. Their inspirational lyrics showed their generous spirit, and their similar outlook on travel made them a perfect fit.

As a result, the group has flawlessly captured what guided travel is with Collette. Their rollicking folk rock infused tune will have you and your travellers singing along and getting ready to pack your bags.

The song called Show you the World will live at the center of Collette’s marketing and partner support. It captures the essence of what working and travelling with Collette is all about – discovering new places, meeting new people, sharing the journey and seeing the world in a whole new way.

Now, as the song lyrics say, you are invited to “come away with me.”

Together we can start sharing the wonders of travel with many more people.

Visit youtube.com/gocollette to watch some inspiring videos featuring the song.
