Celtic Tours Vacations Opens 2026 Booking Season with New Advisor-Focused Incentives and Expanded European Destinations
ALBANY, NY — Celtic Tours Vacations has officially opened its 2026 booking season, introducing enhanced travel advisor incentives, expanded group support, and new destinations across Europe, including Portugal, Spain, and Greece.
For the 2026 season, Celtic Tours Vacations is increasing commission opportunities for travel advisors while continuing to offer its exclusive PerkPoint incentive program, dedicated group management, and enhanced group sales tools, including custom sales flyers and online booking links.
The company’s Winter Escape Sale, now underway, delivers deeper savings for clients while providing advisors with some of the strongest booking incentives of the year. Travelers can save up to $800 per couple on a wide selection of tours, with discounts varying by itinerary. The offer applies to new bookings made with a deposit by March 31, 2026.
In addition, Celtic Tours Vacations offers its FREE Celtic Preferred Client (CPC) Program, which immediately elevates advisors to preferred commission status and rewards continued growth with additional commission incentives. Travel advisors may email [email protected] to enroll or request more information.
According to Noel Murphy, CEO, and Kathy Writer, President, Celtic Tours Vacations continues to provide greater flexibility and overall value when compared to other tour operators. Benefits include flexible deposit schedules, small group tours with no surcharges on most itineraries, and strong savings on the company’s most popular programs.
Celtic Tours Vacations also offers a wide range of customizable FIT and group travel solutions, making the company a one-stop shop for tailor-made European travel. Newly introduced programs to Portugal, Spain, and Greece further expand the company’s growing portfolio.
Group-focused advisors can take advantage of bonus group commission opportunities of up to 25%, valid through March 31, 2026, on select Ireland vacations. These programs feature no deposit for the first 65 days, two-night stays in many destinations, small group sizes, and select itineraries offering two-night castle stays.
“Our focus has always been—and will continue to be—on supporting the travel advisor,” said Murphy. “We firmly believe travelers are best served through the expertise of a professional travel advisor, and we are committed to supporting that fully.”
Celtic Tours Vacations is proud to support local ASTA and CCRA chapters, by attending training sessions and webinars throughout the year. We understand how important supporting the travel trade is.
Travel advisors also benefit from FAM tours, exclusive advisor discounts, and special Family & Friends pricing on select departures. Advisors can log in to the Celtic Tours system to access advisor-only resources, including sales flyers, discounted tour details, and FAM information.
Celtic Tours Vacations partners with leading hotels, trusted car rental companies such as Hertz and Enterprise, and experienced ground-handling partners throughout Europe to ensure a seamless client experience. As a member of the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), Celtic Tours Vacations protects client payments with a $1 million bond.
