Trafalgar Great Ways to Save
Trafalgar offers great savings and discounts to help you stretch your money.
Past passengers save 5% off of the land on most tour itineraries.
There are also Early Payment Discount and Young Traveller Discounts just to name a few. The early bird catches the worm, so book now - pay early - and save money!
The earlier you pay, the more you save! If you book and pay in full you'll save up to 10% off the LAND-only portion of your tour.
The earlier you pay - the more you save!
Below are our Early Payment Saving options:
Pay (min) 12 months prior to departure Save up to 10%
Pay (min) 10 months prior to departure Save up to 7.5%
Pay (min) 6 months prior to departure Save up to 5%
Please note: See individual itinerary pages for the exact value of how much you will save. All tours must be booked and paid for in full for this discount to apply. This discount does not apply to our City Break Tours, train tours, any products in our Eastern Mediterranean section and extra night accommodation. For 2010 pre-registration bookings, payments are to be made according to 2009 brochured prices. For further details, call 800-942-3301.
Travel with Family and Friend and Save!
5 or more – Save 5%: If a group of 5-8 people travels together, a discount of 5% per person applies to the LAND-only portion of your tour. So it pays to get together with your family and friends!
9 or more: If 9 or more people travel together, we offer attractive group discounts based on how many people travel. In a group of 9 passengers, 1 traveller qualifies for a 50% discount off the LAND-only portion of the tour. In a group of 16 passengers, 1 traveller qualifies for 100% discount off the LAND-only portion of the tour.
Please note: Space is limited to one group per motorcoach. These discounts are not combinable with our Travel Club Discount, any other rooming, young traveller or triple room discounts, and do not apply to our City Breaks, Greek Tours with Mediterranean cruises, Egypt, Israel, and extra night accommodation. All travelling passengers’ names must be advised to Trafalgar at the time of booking in order to qualify.
Share a Room and Save!
When travelling alone, we understand that some clients do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of our itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these tours on a room-sharing basis. We will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, we cannot guarantee that room mates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your holiday budget. If we fail to match you, we will provide a single room at no extra cost.
Please note: This service does not apply to our City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece tours, Greek tours with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night accommodation.
