Trafalgar has announced that it will unify the 2027 portfolios of Insight Vacations and Costsaver under the single Trafalgar name to create a simpler portfolio for travel advisors and their clients.
The expanded Trafalgar will span five travel categories and will be on sale in Q4 2026 ahead of the peak Black Friday booking period. Building on its almost 80 years of guided travel experience, the company will now offer more than 600 itineraries across 75 countries and the five travel categories of Tours, Small Groups, River Cruises, Rail Journeys and Group Sales. The expanded brand will also offer three value tiers — saver, classic and premium – which will make it easier for advisors to identify and explain the right experience level and price point for each client.
[vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="td-leaderboard-middle"]The move follows Trafalgar’s expansion into river cruising and small group travel and represents a larger evolution of the brand from focusing on guided tours to a single travel brand capable of serving more travelers across different travel styles, life stages and budgets.
“Growth has given us more ways than ever to serve travelers, but more choice shouldn’t mean more complexity for the advisors who sell us,” said Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO and Chief Sales Officer, TTC Tour Brands, in a press release statement. “Bringing these experiences together under Trafalgar allows us to preserve what advisors and their clients value while removing layers that no longer make it easy to do business with us. We want an advisor to be able to come to Trafalgar with a client and find the right way for them to travel, whether that means a premium tour, a small group, a river cruise or a completely different experience as their needs evolve.”
The unification will bring the distinct value propositions currently offered by Insight Vacations and Costsaver into the Trafalgar portfolio. Trafalgar’s new premium offering will retain the elevated hotels, dining and experiences associated with Insight Vacations, while its saver trips will deliver the flexibility and value currently offered by Costsaver. The classic tier of trips will represent the Trafalgar experience advisors know today. For 2027 departures, existing itineraries, experiences and pricing remain unchanged.
“The goal isn’t to give advisors less choice. It’s to make more choice easier to navigate,” added DaSilva. “An advisor shouldn’t have to navigate the complexity of how our business is organized behind the scenes to find the right vacation for their client. We believe one trusted brand, with clearly defined ways to travel and value tiers, gives them a simpler way to match the right experience to the right traveler.”
The expanded portfolio will be supported by Trafalgar’s largest-ever brand investment in 2027, designed to build greater consumer awareness and demand. Trafalgar’s internal data consistently shows awareness campaigns convert 60-64 percent via travel advisors, giving them more opportunities to grow their business with the brand.
To prepare partners for the transition, the Your New Era with Trafalgar hub is now live on the Travel Agent Portal (TAP), providing a central destination for information, training and resources. Advisors can also participate in live webinars, request training from their Sales Manager or complete eLearning at their own pace. Advisors will see additional features integrated into TAP that will make it easier to navigate the five travel categories and three value tiers, and new experiences live and bookable on TAP in Q4 2026.
