Immersive experiences with Trafalgar
| THIS ARTICLE WAS CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Trafalgar |
Leading the pack since 1947, Trafalgar is setting the bar for guided holidays.
With a range that spans more than 300 holidays across all seven continents – and a promise to take you not just to the icons, but to the lesser-known destinations off the regular tourist trail – you’ll find ‘pinch-me’ moments on every Trafalgar itinerary.
Uncover the ancient cave towns of Armenia.

Creating unforgettable experiences isn’t all Trafalgar is passionate about. Through its JoinTrafalgar initiatives, powered by the decade-old TreadRight Foundation, Trafalgar is working to preserve the communities and places to which it travels, and the wildlife that inhabit them, so future generations can enjoy them.
Trafalgar’s Be My Guest program offers a taste of produce direct from the source.
This enduring goal, and knowing that the best way to truly connect with a culture is through the locals themselves – in their homes and local businesses – inspired Trafalgar to introduce Be My Guest experiences into each itinerary. These experiences will see you sample olive oil fresh from a family grove on the hillsides of Tuscany, tasting produce and wine direct from the source and meeting the characters who bring each ryokan, farm or castle stay to life.
