Trafalgar Offers Up to 30% Off 2027 River Cruises
The new Best of the Seine with Paris & Normandy has its first Paris departure scheduled for April 18, 2027, aboard the 130-passenger Trafalgar Dreamer.
Trafalgar River Cruises is offering up to 30 percent off select 2027 river sailings booked by Sept. 30, 2026, under its 2027 Early Booking Advantage promotion. The offer applies to travel from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2027, and includes 10 percent off select guided tours plus an additional 5 percent loyalty discount for past guests.
The itineraries cited by Trafalgar cover Rhine, Danube and Seine sailings, with the Seine program new for 2027 aboard Trafalgar Dreamer. Trafalgar did not list starting fares with the promotion.
“For travelers ready to experience Europe’s waterways with Trafalgar, booking early means access to preferred dates and stateroom categories on high-demand sailings,” said Joe Robinson, senior vice president of sales, North America, TTC Tour Brands. “Now is the time for advisors to help clients secure their spot, with added incentives rewarding every booking made.”
Advisor incentives run on a shorter deadline
Travel advisors have a separate July 31, 2026, deadline to earn a $150 e-gift card for each qualifying passenger booked on eligible new Trafalgar river cruise reservations. Qualifying bookings must be made, deposited and submitted with promo code TR26EARN during the incentive window.
Scheduled group bookings qualify when per-person deposits are received by July 31; group charters are excluded from the incentive. The top-selling advisor in North America who reaches at least five qualifying passenger bookings will win an air-inclusive trip on the inaugural Seine sailing.
Melissa DaSilva, deputy CEO and chief sales officer at TTC Tour Brands, said the incentive gives advisors “uncapped earning potential and a chance to experience our inaugural Seine sailing firsthand.”
Rhine, Danube and Seine sailings named in the offer
The Rhine example is Best of the Rhine and Amsterdam, a 10-day Amsterdam-to-Basel cruise aboard Trafalgar Verity that includes Cologne Cathedral, the Middle Rhine Gorge, Strasbourg’s old town and Riesling vineyards.
Best of the Danube is an eight-day Budapest-to-Passau sailing aboard Trafalgar Reverie, with the program including Heroes Square, Bratislava’s medieval Old Town, the UNESCO Wachau Valley and Vienna.
Trafalgar’s river fleet began the 2026 season with Verity and Reverie, both 128-passenger ships chartered from sister brand Uniworld, where they sailed as River Queen and River Princess. Dreamer, formerly Trafalgar Harmonie, brings the Seine into the 2027 program as a 130-passenger, 42-crew vessel refurbished in 2026.
The new Best of the Seine with Paris & Normandy sailing is an eight-day Paris departure through Normandy, with Giverny, the D-Day landing beaches, Rouen and Chateau de La Roche-Guyon among the named visits. Its first departure is scheduled for April 18, 2027.
