Albatross companies only handle group travel and tourism. Unfortunately, we do not currently work with individual travellers directly

We primarily focus on destinations in the UK, Ireland and Western & Central Europe but do occasionally also operate groups to other, longer-haul destinations including North & Sout America, New Zealand and South Africa.
Unfortunately not. At this time, all of our business is focused on group tourism – although our minimum numbers can be as few as 10 people.
We offer flight arrangements for our clients if their group booking requires it, but not for individuals.
When the original founders were looking to set up the business, they were working in partnership with friends in France and Austria and they were looking for a name that started with the letter ‘A’ and that was the same word in French, German and English….hence Albatross!
Only if you shoot one – as famously warned in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Otherwise, albatrosses are remarkable creatures: able to fly further than any other bird without refuelling and having existed for around 100 times longer than humans. They’re best known for their endurance, resilience and tenacity – qualities we’re very happy to be associated with.
We’re always looking for talented people to join Albatross. For more information about joining the team, click Our People page and scroll to the bottom.
