ACV offers more Europe through Trafalgar & Contiki

Air Canada Vacations has unveiled more details on its recent partnership with Travel Corporation brands Trafalgar and Contiki, which will provide travellers with some unique European experiences in 2018.

The partnership, announced at both Trafalgar’s and Contiki’s 2017-18 Europe launch events last month, will see 16 Trafalgar Guided Vacations and five Contiki Guided Trips offered through ACV’s 2018 Europe program; according to ACV, the partnership is part of ACV’s drive to offer unique and diverse Europe experiences to customers. Examples of these experiences include enjoying an authentic meal with the Calistri family at their borgo in Limonaia, Italy, and Contiki free-time add-ons such as bike tours in Barcelona or cruises around the island of Capri.

“Air Canada Vacations is constantly looking to innovate and provide customers with a wider choice of products and extraordinary experiences,” said Nino Montagnese, ACV’s managing director. “As experiential travel gains in popularity, the ability to offer travellers unique, flexible and authentic tours is a must. By bundling flights, accommodation and excursions, customers also benefit from cost savings.”
