MONTREAL — Air Canada Vacations has slashed the prices of its European air and hotel packages by up to 60%, just ahead of releasing its first Europe brochure in three years.

With popular destinations like London, Paris and Barcelona expected to sell quickly, clients are encouraged to book by Feb. 14 to lock in this limited-time promotion.

As an added bonus, ACV is also offering $100 in savings per couple and a reduced deposit of $100 per person (instead of the standard $250) for clients booking Europe packages or FIT itineraries with their travel agent. In turn, agents will receive 3x ACV&ME loyalty points. This offer is valid until Feb. 28.

The company’s new 160+ Europe brochure, its first in three years, is set to be released shortly, focusing on destinations like England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Central Europe. It will feature packages, hotels, guided coach tours with guaranteed departures, fly & drive, fly & rail, flexible cruises packaged with flights, roundtrip transfers and all taxes and added values.

The brochure will also highlight two new programs: Island Hopping itineraries in Greece, and Urban Getaways Plus. Full details will be released closer to the brochure launch.

“We are very excited for the launch of our Europe collection and know that this is something our trade partners have wanted for a while,” said George Platanitis, Vice President, Sales & Partnerships, Air Canada Vacations. “The product will be distributed through ACV’s agent portal and bookings will also be available through our reservations department.”
