​We have hundreds of scheduled trips worldwide across all four of our guided brands. Which means creating your group travel experience could be as easy as selecting an existing itinerary and blocking out the number of seats required on the chosen departure date that best suits your group. 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. Scheduled departure dates and day-to-day itineraries are set and cannot be changed. 

Benefits

• Turn key, the trip is already planned out and ready to travel on
• ​Great option for smaller groups where they all want to travel together but where a private departure might not be feasible
• Some scheduled itineraries have smaller group departures as standard (which could be as little as 16 guests). Which means if you block out a group allocation your group may not be travelling with too many other guests. Your clients can then enjoy a little extra space between them and fellow travellers, but still share the experience with other guests, but in an overall smaller group.

Pricing & discounts

​These scheduled trips may qualify for promotional market offers like Early Payment Discounts which are combinable with our groups benefits (a minimum of nine guests is needed to qualify for group discounts). In addition, we have some great incentive options in market, so you can choose the right option for your group; 

1. All guests in your group save 5% on the land portion of their trip
2. Based on the number of guests in your group, you can get discounted and free space(s)
3. One free guest for every eight paid guests (maximum of two free seats per coach)

See our downloadable Groups Guide below for more information on our discounts and commission.
