TTC to merge three brands into one portfolio

TTC Tour Brands has brought the 2027 portfolios of Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Costsaver under the single Trafalgar name to create a broader portfolio that will go on sale before Black Friday.

The expanded Trafalgar brand will offer more than 600 itineraries across 75 countries and five ways to travel: Tours, Small Groups, River Cruises, Rail Journeys and Group Sales.

Three value tiers – Saver, Classic and Premium – will make it easier for agents to identify and explain the right experience level and price point for each client, said TTC.

“Travel agents have always been fundamental to our success in the UK, so it was incredibly important to us that we take a trade-first approach to this next era for Trafalgar,” said Kelly Jackson, TTC Tour Brands Managing Director & SVP Sales EMEA.

“This is ultimately about making ourselves easier to sell and giving agents more opportunities to grow their business. By bringing this breadth of product together under Trafalgar, agents can start with the customer – how they want to travel, the experience they’re looking for and their budget – and much more easily find the right holiday for them.

“With our biggest-ever investment in Trafalgar coming in 2027, we want our agent partners to understand the expanded portfolio, feel confident selling it and be ready to capitalise on the demand we intend to create. There are simply going to be many more reasons to sell Trafalgar.”

For 2027 departures, existing itineraries, experiences and pricing remain unchanged, with the change focused on how the portfolio is branded and presented to agents and travellers, she said.

“We’re bringing the portfolio together, but we’re not making the experiences all the same,” said Kelly. “That distinction is really important. The expertise, experiences and characteristics that agents and their clients value today remain – Premium retains the elevated stays, dining and experiences defined by Insight Vacations, while Saver continues to offer the value and flexibility associated with Costsaver.

“This isn’t about taking choice away; it’s about making an enormous amount of choice much easier to navigate. Ultimately, we want agents to be able to match the right Trafalgar experience to the right traveller more easily – and sell more as a result.”

The expanded portfolio will be supported by Trafalgar’s ‘biggest-ever brand investment’ in 2027, she added.

Information for agents on the new portfolio is available on the Your New Era with Trafalgar hub on TTC’s TAP agent training portal and there will be a live webinar explaining the changes on 3 September at 10am.
