The new edition is designed to inspire clients with more hotels, destinations, and cruise options than ever before.

“With our 2025/2026 Sun Collection, we’re proud to bring even more choice, flexibility, and value to travellers,” said Nino Montagnese, VP at Air Canada Vacations, in a press release. “From exciting new destinations and exclusive perks to an expanded cruise portfolio, this collection reflects our ongoing commitment to making dream vacations a reality for Canadians.

The collection expands to 64 destinations worldwide, with five newcomers: Cartagena in Colombia, Miches in the Dominican Republic, Palm Springs and Napa Valley in California, and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

Enhancing the collection even further, ACV has new cruise itineraries with adults-only cruise line Virgin Voyages.
