Trafalgar Ushers in a New Era, Incorporating Insight Vacations & Costsaver
Global travel titan Trafalgar has officially unveiled a transformative “New Era” in guided travel. The company announced its plan to consolidate the 2027 portfolios of Insight Vacations and Costsaver under the single Trafalgar brand. This significant announcement was the highlight of a major industry webinar conducted on Thursday, September 17, 2026, via TravelPulse.
With nearly 80 years of expertise in guided travel, the newly expanded Trafalgar will now offer over 600 itineraries across 75 countries. These offerings will be presented through five travel modes: Tours, Small Groups, River Cruises, Rail Journeys, and Group Sales. This strategic move aims to provide a more streamlined and potent portfolio for travel advisors and their clients, just in time for the peak Black Friday booking period.
The expanded range will be available for sale in Q4 2026. New experiences will be made live and bookable via Trafalgar’s advisor platform (TAP). Travel advisors can look forward to improved navigation features covering five travel categories and three value tiers. This enhancement will make it easier than ever to match clients with their perfect itinerary. According to the company, this restructuring is a direct response to traveler demand for curated, experience-rich journeys at varying price points.
This audacious move positions Trafalgar as a one-stop powerhouse in the guided tour market, simplifying choices for millions of travelers worldwide.
