CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EF Ultimate Break, a leader in experiential, guided travel for 18-35-year-olds, today unveiled its College Break collection: a curated lineup of 20+ tours designed exclusively for Gen Z. Trips will be limited to college-aged travelers, with a maximum age of 24-years-old, creating a more tailored, peer-to-peer experience while exploring the world.

"College is when so many of us catch the travel bug, especially as first time international travelers, but it's also when budgets are tightest and logistics feel most overwhelming," said Emma Topp, EF Ultimate Break's travel expert. "By creating tours specifically for college-aged students, we're giving Gen Z a more authentic and immersive travel experience with aspiring globetrotters who get it: peers with similar interests navigating the same stage of life and seeking out personal growth."

The reimagined College Break collection of tours responds to growing demand from Gen Z travelers who want to safely and affordably explore the world alongside others like them in a safe, exciting, and affordable way. Some highlights from the collection include:

• College Break – Germany, Italy & Switzerland: 10 days, 4 cities (From $2,499 USD)*
• College Break – Ultimate Europe: 35 days, 14 cities (From $5,999 USD)*
• College Break – Costa Rica Adventure: 10 days, 4 cities (From $1,799 USD)*
• College Break – Japan: Tokyo & Beyond: 9 days, 4 cities (From $2,239 USD)*

*Prices are land only. EF Ultimate Break also offers options for flights on all tours.

Build Your Resume While Earning Travel Rewards

Students passionate about travel and campus life can take their involvement a step further by applying to become an Ultimate Break campus ambassador. The Campus Ambassador Program includes hand-picked student representatives across dozens of colleges in the U.S. who spread the word about EF Ultimate Break on their campuses through social media content, on-campus events, and creative challenges—all while earning rewards toward their next trip.

The program is designed for college students who are active in campus life and skilled at creating engaging social content. Ambassadors gain resume-building experience in event planning and brand promotion, professional development opportunities, exclusive merch, and the chance to network with a nationwide community of student travelers.

Students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities can find more information here.

Even better, campus ambassadors can travel the world for free when they organize campus groups interested in exploring the world.

Travel with Your Squad

College students don't have to travel solo. As an EF Ultimate Break Group Coordinator, it's easy for students to rally their crew to travel the world - whether it's a spring break adventure, study abroad friends, roommates, or campus club members - earn major rewards in the process.

Here's how it works: when a student brings 6 or more friends on any College Break tour, everyone in the group saves, and the Group Coordinator earns credits towards free travel benefits. Bring 10 friends and get $3,000 off. Bring 15 and earn $4,000 off. Rally 20 or more travelers and unlock $5,000 in credit!

Group Coordinators don't lead the trip or handle logistics; they simply get their friends signed up and EF Ultimate Break takes care of the rest, from flights and accommodations to Tour Directors and daily itineraries full of memory-making experiences.

For Greek life organizations specifically, EF Ultimate Break also offers Greeks Go Global experiences designed for sororities and fraternities looking to travel together. Students can explore options here.
