Do you have a larger group looking for a more private experience? Or do you think you have enough clients wanting to go on the same trip and could take a whole coach allocation? With our Exclusive Scheduled Departure option, you can reserve all the space on an existing itinerary and departure date just for your group members. Also, we have Small group departures which start from 20 guests, if you need a smaller, more intimate group size.

All Scheduled Departures include as a minimum, a dedicated Travel Director/Travelling Concierge and Driver, accommodation, varied meal plans, transportation in luxury motor coaches and sightseeing in all major cities. New for 2021 on a lot of our itineraries there will also be a Wellbeing Director who is dedicated to ensuring our enhanced standards of hygiene and physical distancing are maintained and adhered to and will be on hand 24/7 to handle any guest concerns.

​Note that for scheduled departure dates and day-to-day itineraries are set and cannot be changed.

Smaller group options on scheduled trips

Recently we have introduced a collection of smaller group departures on select scheduled trips across the world. We will operate all trips in 2021 with a number of empty seats to ensure that we always allow for appropriate extra physical distancing. Guests enjoy the same remarkable on-trip experience, just in a smaller group. These are operating on select trips around the world across our touring brands, maximum guest numbers vary for each brand and destination: 

• Luxury Gold Africa: max 16 guests
• Costsaver & Trafalgar Africa and Asia: max 20 guests 
• Trafalgar Rest of the world: max 26 pax
• Insight Vacations & Luxury Gold: max 24 guests

No matter where your clients travel, they’ll be in a small group that’s perfectly suited to the destination, offering them the opportunity to socialise and meet new friends or explore on their own with more personal attention from their Travel Director.  Look for the dates showing the 'small group' icon on the departure calendar, or call us to inquire if your chosen date or trip does not offer this option.
