ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Guided vacations leader Trafalgar, offering over 230 itineraries in 67 countries, announces the release of its 2014 Europe vacations. This includes 140 enhanced itineraries with five new trips, plus an expansion of Trafalgar’s unique Insider Experiences like shopping a local market with Libero, an Italian chef, for a cooking experience at his restaurant or exclusive Be My Guest dinner at the Schieszl family’s wine cellar in Budapest with spine-tingling tales from World War II.
Additionally, Trafalgar has joined forces with Celtic brand Brendan Vacations to offer an extensive collection of Ireland and Scotland guided and customized independent travel options.
“With Scotland’s Homecoming, England’s royal family in the spotlight, the 70th anniversary of the World War II Normandy D-Day landing and more, Europe will continue to be a hot destination,” said Trafalgar U.S. President Paul Wiseman. “Traveling with Trafalgar, we deliver unique, exclusive experiences for each of our guests, taking you beyond the expected around the globe.”
The Trafalgar difference is found in its unique collection of Insider Experiences, designed so travelers explore destinations as locals do, on every trip. New for 2014 are Authentic Accommodations: stays with unique local significance, including Seville’s Las Casas de la Judería, created from two palaces, or the Dilek Kaya Hotel, a restored home adjacent to a historic rock castle, in central Turkey.
