Italian Alps

It’s the sight of pure-white snow blanketing the Alps in Switzerland. It’s the crunch of Autumn leaves as you wander the streets of Venice.

It’s the warmth of mulled wine at the oldest Christmas market in France.

It might be a minute, an hour, a day. It’s found in a ‘pinch-me’ moment you didn’t expect, but will change the way you see the world forever;

a world that isn’t black and white, but a kaleidoscope of colour – from the burnt orange of Autumn, to the ice blue of Winter and the green of a new Spring.

That’s the beauty of Europe.

From the iconic to the unexpected, Trafalgar connects you to the magic of the seasons and the colours of the world like no other.

You choose the destination, we do the rest.

It’s the people and places we’ve known since 1947, with feedback from over five million guests like you that fuel our innovation to cra�
