Transat Discoveries Presents its 2012-2013 Program
Montreal, August 28, 2012

Transat Discoveries, member of the Transat group, which is one of the largest integrated tourism companies in the world and Canada's holiday travel leader, presents its new program with the launch of its 2012-2013 brochure. Following a first successful year, Transat Discoveries is expanding its offer with new travel options and destinations.

Transat Discoveries 2012-2013 Brochure

The new brochure will be in distribution in travel agencies across Ontario in September. It features escorted tours in Thailand, Laos, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey, as well as packages in Eastern Europe.

Fly & Drive Tours

New this season, Transat Discoveries offers travellers the freedom to explore Iceland or Scandinavia in complete privacy with its Fly & Drive tours. Everything is taken care of – from the flights and accommodation to the itinerary – so that travellers can savour every moment of their trip while enjoying freedom and flexibility.

River Cruising in Asia

Transat Discoveries is also expanding their Asia product line with a first class Mekong river cruise.  The Mekong Prestige is a brand new, deluxe vessel offering luxury cruises between Saigon and Siem Reap. The ship offers an intimate atmosphere with just 32 outside facing staterooms and suites at least 23 square metres in size and each boasting its own private balcony. Public areas include a beautiful expansive sun deck with whirlpool, an elegant restaurant and lounge, spa and fitness areas.

Accompanied from Canada

Escorted departures from Canada ensure that travellers will have the undivided attention of one of our destination specialists and the expertise of local guides for an enhanced travel experience in total comfort and safety. Experienced guides will lead them down their favourite paths to the best spots. They’ll also take care of all the planning so that travellers can appreciate their surroundings.

À la Carte Add-Ons

Transat Discoveries offers mini tours and beach stays available à la carte or as an add-on to one of our guided tours. Travellers can use our à la carte programs to extend their holiday or build their own itinerary.

Customized Trips

In addition to the products showcased in its brochure, Transat Discoveries also provides customized trips. One of its teams is dedicated to organizing trips for small groups and individual travellers, as this is clearly a growing market segment. “Centred on authenticity and flexibility, our team continues to evolve but our mission remains the same: to allow travellers to enjoy memorable moments in all four corners of the earth while discovering the contrasting elements of traditional and modern cultures,” states Dan Prior.

Promotions

Early booking promotions enable consumers to save up to $400 per couple. A repeat traveller discount, which provides additional savings of up to $120 per couple, is also offered to clients who have travelled with Transat Holidays in the past. Also, if consumers book by November 30, 2012, they will benefit from a reduced deposit (of $250 instead of $500).
