Trafalgar

Apply the best Trafalgar promo code or card offer you qualify for, then go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount on the same order, only easier than a promo code. There is nothing to find or type, it does not use up your one Trafalgar promo code, and it still lowers the price when no code is running. Part of what you pay comes back as Cashback: check the rate shown on ShopBack's Trafalgar page before you buy.

Trafalgar is a guided-tour operator with 75 years of history, part of The Travel Corporation, so pick your trip, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Trafalgar sells escorted multi-day trips across Europe, the UK, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australia and New Zealand with 260+ itineraries. Trips include coach transport, most breakfasts and select dinners, a Travel Director and Driver, on-tour transport, and curated Be My Guest local experiences. US travellers book at trafalgar.com. Activate ShopBack via the ShopBack Trafalgar merchant page to earn cashback on eligible bookings at the current published rate.

Trafalgar's loyalty programme, Global Tour Rewards, gives past guests a 5% discount on future Trafalgar trips (and select TTC brand trips including Insight Vacations, Luxury Gold, Contiki, and Costsaver). The discount applies to the land portion of the tour and stacks with early payment discount windows. Past guests receive the benefit automatically once they log in with the account tied to a completed trip. Group booking discounts (three or more travellers on the same tour) are available separately. Cross-check current stacking rules on trafalgar.com before booking.

Trafalgar runs early-payment discounts of typically 10% off the land portion when the full trip is paid 6+ months before departure. Additional promotional windows include Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026), a Winter Sale in December to January (peak booking season for next-year Europe trips), a Wave Season push in January to February, and end-of-season deals in October to November for late-fall departures. Solo travellers should watch for periodic single-supplement waived campaigns. Cross-check current windows on trafalgar.com before locking.

Solo travellers on Trafalgar typically pay a single supplement of 30% to 50% above the twin-share rate to cover a solo room. Trafalgar runs periodic Solo Traveller Save Deals with 50% to 100% off the single supplement on select trips and departure dates. Some Trafalgar trip styles (Country Roads, At Leisure, Regional Explorer) allow solo travellers to opt into room-sharing with a same-gender roommate at no supplement, subject to availability. Cross-check the specific itinerary and departure date on trafalgar.com for current single-supplement pricing and roommate-match availability.

Trafalgar and Globus are the two largest escorted-tour operators for US travellers to Europe. Trafalgar leans younger-active with more Be My Guest local-family experiences and a broader mid-range price band. Globus (part of the Globus family alongside Cosmos and Avalon) leans slightly older-comfort with more hotel-upgrade inclusions and river-cruise adjacencies. Both use coach transport with a full-time Travel Director. Trafalgar has more Country Roads regional-focus itineraries; Globus has more overview-style multi-country tours. Cross-check specific itinerary inclusions and hotel classes before comparing. Both bookable via ShopBack where merchant pages are live.

Trafalgar and Insight Vacations are both TTC brands. Trafalgar covers mid-range guided coach tours, wider itinerary count, and mainstream price band. Insight Vacations is TTC's premium-tier brand with fewer travellers per coach (Business Class seating with 40 max), 4-star and 5-star Signature Hotels, more inclusive dining, and higher-touch Travel Directors. Insight typically prices 20% to 40% above the equivalent Trafalgar itinerary. Past guests earn Global Tour Rewards across both brands. Choose Trafalgar for value-plus-inclusion; choose Insight for premium comfort on a longer itinerary.

Trafalgar sells land-only tours by default. Air add-ons are available at booking through Trafalgar's Air Booking service, which typically prices the flight as a separate line item using contract fares. US travellers heading to Europe often save by booking the tour land-only on trafalgar.com and pricing flights separately via US OTAs or direct with the airline for more control over routing and fare-family baggage. For long-haul destinations (Asia, Australia and New Zealand, South America), Trafalgar Air pricing can be competitive; cross-check against Google Flights before booking.

Trafalgar operates land tours globally; US travellers typically fly to the tour start city (Rome, Paris, London, Barcelona, Dublin, Edinburgh, Prague, Athens, Reykjavik, Tokyo, Sydney, Buenos Aires). From JFK, EWR, ORD, BOS, MIA, LAX, and SFO, the most common paired flight partners are British Airways (LHR connection), Lufthansa Group (FRA, MUC, ZRH connection), Air France KLM (CDG, AMS connection), Delta Virgin joint venture (LHR, CDG connection), and United to European hubs. Book flights around Trafalgar's tour start and end dates with a buffer day on each side to absorb schedule disruption. Trafalgar can arrange airport transfers at trip start.

Trafalgar's standard cancellation policy uses a sliding scale: full refund of deposit if cancelled 65+ days before departure (except non-refundable deposit portion), penalty rising through 65-45 days, 45-22 days, and reaching 100% loss within 21 days of departure. Trip Protection Plans sold at booking cover most cancellation reasons; premium plans cover cancel-for-any-reason with 75% recovery. US travellers should either buy Trafalgar's Trip Protection Plan at booking or purchase a third-party travel insurance policy that covers pre-departure cancellation. Cross-check current cancellation terms on the specific itinerary page before locking. Trip Protection is separate from ShopBack cashback treatment.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Start from the ShopBack Trafalgar page, continue to trafalgar.com and log in to your Trafalgar account. Complete the booking with the deposit or full payment, and keep the reservation email. The current Cashback is shown on the Trafalgar page on ShopBack.

Trafalgar's cancellation terms follow a sliding scale, so the refund depends on when you cancel.
