Tripmasters expands with new experiential vacation packages designed for stress-free travel | News

Tripmasters, the leading provider of customizable independent holidays since 1984, is expanding its travel offering with the launch of its new experience packages and ‘Unpack, Relax & Explore’ holiday collections, designed for travelers looking for a more immersive and less stressful way to explore Europe.

According to Future Partners’ State of the American Traveler survey, travelers are increasingly prioritizing slower, more immersive experiences around single-destination stays and local connections, a defining travel trend of 2026.

“Travelers are looking for vacations that feel more meaningful and less exhausting,” said Rafael Checa, CEO of Tripmasters. “We see a growing demand for slower-paced travel, where people can stay longer, unpack once and experience a destination more deeply. Our new ‘Unpack, Relax & Explore’ packages are designed around this change in traveler behavior.”

“Unpack, relax and explore”: a new approach to multi-destination travel

Instead of switching hotels every few days, travelers stay in one carefully selected base destination and explore nearby towns, villages, sights and attractions through curated day trips and experiences.

Examples could be:

Stay in Florence while you explore the hill towns and wine regions of Tuscany

Using Paris as a base for visits to the Loire Valley, Champagne and nearby French wine regions

Stay in Munich while you take a day trip to Salzburg

Explore London with visits to nearby Bath, Stonehenge and The Cotswolds

Customizable ‘experience packages’ for stress-free travel

Tripmasters’ new experience packages combine flexible vacation planning with curated activities and local experiences designed to help travelers connect more deeply with each destination.

The new collections will initially be launched with holiday packages in:

Italy
Portugal
It is expected that more destinations will be added as the collection grows.

These experiential packages may include:

Guided city experiences

Food and wine tastings

Cultural excursions

Nature and wellness activities

Scenic day trips

Private or small group tours

Local transport options

Tripmasters Experience packages combine curated experiences with the flexibility to customize hotels, travel dates, transportation and travel pace. Travelers can view and book these customizable Europe vacation packages directly online at Tripmasters.com.

Flexible pricing designed around traveler choice

Tripmasters packages are dynamically priced in real time based on factors such as travel dates, departure city, hotel selections, transportation options, availability and seasonal demand. Because travelers can customize almost every aspect of their vacation, package prices can vary depending on the experiences and accommodations selected
