Once you travel once with Trafalgar you become part of our VIT club – that’s Very Important Travellers – and it comes with a few great perks and benefits. After we caught up with Carol, our VIT+ guest who has been on more than 40 tours, we were inundated with questions on Facebook asking how Trafalgar makes travel special for our returning guests.
“I thought my 10 tours with Trafalgar was a good number, but that’s amazing. Happy traveling.”

Plenty of comments were left by our lovely VITs who know some of the perks and ways we celebrate returning guests, so we thought we’d go into the details a little deeper. Here are five ways we make travel extra special for our Trafalgar VIT and VIT+ guests.
Special discounts for our VITs
Our Very Important Travellers, or VITs as we like to call them, are special guests who have travelled with Trafalgar one to three times. That’s right, after just one trip we’ll welcome you with open arms to our warm and cosy VIT club.
Being part of this club comes with great perks and special savings. Every return guest can enjoy a 5% discount for a limited time after each new trip is released. Returning travellers also receive a sweet 5% off during random sales throughout the year. Nice!
Year-round discounts for our extra special VIT+ guests
Once you’ve taken four or more trips with Trafalgar you join the extra, extra special VIT+ club. As you’d expect, the perks increase when you enter this top tier.
Our lucky and loyal VIT+ club members don’t have to wait for sales or jump on new trips to receive those special travel discounts and savings. Our VIT+ members always enjoy 5% off on all trips, all destinations, all year round.
