Trafalgar, a name synonymous with guided travel and enriching cultural experiences, is making waves in a brand-new way—by launching its very own river cruises.
Set to debut in April 2026, Trafalgar will introduce two immersive river journeys along Europe’s legendary waterways: the Danube and the Rhine. These new voyages promise the same level of care, ease, and connection that guests have come to love from Trafalgar, now paired with the serene beauty of Europe’s iconic rivers.
According to Nick Lim, The Travel Corporation’s CEO in Asia: “We’ve always been about making it easy for travellers to connect with the heart and soul of every destination. Now, we’re bringing that same philosophy and unmatched experience valued by our travel advisor partners, to Europe’s iconic rivers. Our strategy is simple: unlock the best of Europe’s rivers through trusted Trafalgar touchpoints including our much-loved ‘Be My Guest’ and ‘MAKE TRAVEL MATTER’ Experiences, giving travellers a fun, new way to river cruise that is as enriching as it is responsible."
Two Signature Journeys:
