Trafalgar is expanding its 2027 programme with more than 70 new trips, including its first 11 Saver Small Group itineraries. The additions give travelers more ways to choose a guided holiday by price and travel style, with small-group departures limited to 18 guests.
The expanded programme spans Saver, Classic and Premium tiers, with new options in destinations including Cambodia, Japan, Mexico, Finland and East Africa. It forms part of the broader move to bring the Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Costsaver portfolios together under the Trafalgar name.
Small Groups Across Three Price Tiers
The key change is the arrival of Saver itineraries within Trafalgar’s Small Groups range. That extends the smaller format to the entry-level tier alongside Classic and Premium itineraries. The 18-person limit applies to the Small Groups category, not to every Trafalgar trip.
Those tiers describe different experiences as well as different prices. Saver focuses on the essentials with more scope to choose extras, Classic represents the familiar Trafalgar guided-tour offering, and Premium brings the elevated accommodation and dining associated with Insight Vacations. The specific hotels, meals and activities still need to be checked on each itinerary.
Trips to Put on a 2027 Shortlist
The expanded selection ranges from cultural journeys to winter wildlife experiences. These examples show how the options differ:
- Cambodia Calling — Saver Small Group: the eight-day Cambodia itinerary links Phnom Penh, Battambang and Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat at sunrise and local village visits. Its published programme lists seven nights of accommodation, seven breakfasts and one lunch.
- Devon and Cornwall Escape — Classic Small Group: this seven-day journey combines Stonehenge, Dartmoor and Cornwall with a Thames cruise, the Roman Baths and a locally hosted cider-farm experience. The official trip page describes a maximum of 18 travelers.
- Kenya and Tanzania Safari — Premium Small Group: the programme includes game drives, wildlife viewing from the water and cultural encounters across the two East African countries.
- Yellowstone Winter Escape — Premium: the operator’s current Yellowstone trip is a six-day Small Group journey using snow coaches to explore the park’s winter landscapes, thermal areas and wildlife valleys.
- Finland Beneath the Northern Lights — Classic: the journey runs from Helsinki into Lapland, with husky sledding, a reindeer safari and a stay at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. The itinerary is designed around an aurora search rather than a guaranteed sighting.
Other additions include San Sebastian and Beyond, Wonders of Japan and The Heart of Mexico. The variety makes it worth comparing the actual route and pace rather than choosing solely by the tier name.
What to Compare Before Booking
Start with group size, departure date, activity level and meal inclusions. Cambodia Calling’s meal count, for example, leaves other meals to be budgeted for separately. Look at the included sightseeing and optional experiences alongside the headline fare, then compare room arrangements and any flights or transfers needed to reach the tour.
The land-tour expansion also sits alongside Trafalgar’s wider push into new travel styles. We previously covered its planned Seine sailings for 2027, a separate option for travelers who prefer a river-based itinerary.
Before paying a deposit, review the confirmed itinerary, hotel list and booking terms for the departure you want. The expanded range offers more choice, but the right fit will depend on how much structure, free time and included dining you want from the trip.
