Travelmarvel Reveals Travellers Want More for Their Money as Worldwide 2027 Sale Launches
Travelmarvel, the premium arm of APT Travel Group, has launched its Worldwide 2027 Sale, offering travellers a range of exclusive extras and savings designed to add greater value to their holiday.
Offers include complimentary cabin upgrades and up to €200 per person in onboard credit on selected river cruises*, as well as a £300 saving per couple* on worldwide small group and rail tours.
The launch follows new Travelmarvel customer research* which found that travellers are increasingly prioritising added value and inclusions when choosing a holiday, rather than simply choosing the lowest lead-in price.
As APT Travel Group’s premium travel collection, Travelmarvel is designed to offer exceptional value, with all the essentials included alongside the freedom and flexibility to enjoy time at leisure, backed by outstanding service and care. The Worldwide 2027 Sale builds on this proposition, giving travellers the opportunity to make their holiday budget go further with a selection of exclusive extras across Travelmarvel’s river cruises, small group tours and rail journeys.
Paul Melinis, Managing Director of APT Luxury & Travelmarvel, UK & Europe says “Value for money is ranked as one of the most important booking factors for our customers. It’s not just about the lowest price; our travellers are seeking quality and inclusions that add genuine value to their holiday. That’s why our 2027 Worldwide Sale is helping guests get even more from their travel budget. Our customers frequently describe us as ‘excellent value’ and ‘reasonably priced’, as they are seeking quality and inclusions, not just the cheapest holiday”.
These exclusive extras and savings can be enjoyed across a range of customer favourites and newly introduced cruises, small group and rail tours including the Nile cruise and Japan small group and rail tour.
