TTC Tour Brands to Launch 16 New Tours — Largest Expansion in Seven Years

TTC Tour Brands to Launch 16 New Tours — Largest Expansion in Seven Years

TTC Tour Brands will launch 16 new itineraries in 2026, across Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold, marking the largest introduction of new trips in the past seven years. 

The company says the expansion reinforces its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of travellers for immersive, personalized, and culturally rich travel experiences, while guaranteeing travelers the best available price, even if the cost of their tour drops later with the “Price Drop Promise.”

The expansion spans five continents, with new itineraries including a mix of nature escapes, culinary explorations, heritage-rich adventures, and women-only departures. 

“With destinations like Portugal, South Korea, and the Balkans trending for 2025, a growing demand for women-only experiences and a desire for multi-country adventures, these new itineraries tap directly into travellers’ emerging desires through more meaningful experiences,” said Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO of TTC Tour Brands. 

“Enhanced with our signature experiences and guidance from local experts, these new trips allow travellers to make valuable connections with the places they visit. We’re not just adding more destinations, we’re meeting our travellers’ desire to connect more deeply with the world and with themselves.”

Trafalgar coaches are spacious, comfortable and less than two years old.
