Trafalgar has a new batch of trips for Europe and Britain.

The world leader in guided vacations, Trafalgar has released its 2020 Europe & Britain itineraries, featuring 118 trips across 49 countries, including eight new trips and six new destinations. This is the most diverse product offering for the brand to-date.

Combined with these enhancements to its award-winning products, the brand has also announced an incredible 10%* Early Payment Discount (EPD). For those who haven’t yet locked in their 2020 Europe & Britain travels, this incredible offer with the travel industry’s most awarded brand is ‘Simply the Best,’ and too good to miss.

In addition to longtime guest favourites like Italy, France and the United Kingdom, Trafalgar is excited to introduce trips visiting some of the hottest emerging destinations in Eastern Europe, such as Macedonia, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia and Albania and Montenegro. As with all of Trafalgar’s itineraries, these newest additions feature the exciting exclusive Trafalgar-only experiences that the brand is known for.

“We’ve seen a growing interest in destinations in Eastern Europe and the Balkan cities, as guests look to explore destinations further that are off the beaten path. These destinations still offer the things clients love about Europe: timeless cultures, incredible cuisine and stunning landscapes,” said Michael Unrath, Trafalgar’s Head of Product for Europe and Britain. “Better still, we are visiting a number of ‘under-tourism’ destinations and helping to bring clients to these fantastic up-and-coming places, while creating new and engaging Trafalgar experiences alongside, to bring each places to life, is an exciting time,” he said.

In keeping with the brand’s commitment to connecting guests to places, people and experiences, each trip in the brand’s 2020 suite includes at least one of Trafalgar’s famous ‘Be My Guest’ experiences, being one of the first local immersion experiences in the travel industry. With a core brand focus on supporting local individuals and businesses, particularly those off the beaten track, these have become one of the brand’s richest of many highlights which unlock deeply meaningful encounters for both clients and hosts. From dining with a count at his 16th century Italian villa, to exploring the beautiful French home of John F. Kennedy’s late wife and Bobby Kennedy’s former advisors, breaking bread with villagers in the mountains of Turkey or having dinner in the home of one of Ireland’s top celebrity chefs, these experiences allow guests to connect with locals in ways typically not possible.

The brand is also committed to unlocking incredible, interactive and engaging experiences to bring the unique characteristics of each places to life in a hands-on way. Guest favourites include visiting a local market with an Italian Chef, then hand-making pasta at his Tuscan villa, an unmissable dining experience after hours in the iconic Vatican, a lesson in the art of French cooking in Paris’ Marais district, a port tasting in Porto, or for younger clients, transforming into a Roman Gladiator for a day or even trying their hand at archery while channeling their inner Game of Thrones character.

Further, the company is proud to place strong value on absolute transparency for guests and travel agents. As the first brand in travel to use FEEFO, the third-party verified satisfaction rating, currently 4.7/5, the brand has this year taken it one step further by including FEEFO ratings on every trip page of its brochure for complete transparency.

Most importantly, always at the center of Trafalgar’s mission is travelling responsibly, with ‘Make A Difference’ experiences on many itineraries that let guests directly give back to the communities they visit. JoinTrafalgar has also reforested 359 acres of trees to-date with longstanding partner, One Tree Planted, as a result of guests choosing to travel paper-free with their leading e-document solution, introduced in 2018. To add, Trafalgar has also removed single-use plastic bottles on all their coaches throughout Europe, to name just a few of more than 80 worldwide initiatives the brand has been implementing. This makes a difference to their three pillars of people, places and wildlife and the planet under the guidance of TreadRight, the not-for-profit foundation established by Trafalgar’s parent company The Travel Corporation, more than a decade ago.

a century of expertise and service excellence coupled with their #AgentsFirst philosophy, Trafalgar ensures both agents and clients enjoy a seamless experience when booking their 2020 Europe & Britain holidays. Add 53% annual repeat past guests, a 4.7/5 independent satisfaction rating on FEEFO and 10% EPD together and the time to lock in your clients’ 2020 travels is right now.
