Thomas Cook (India) Limited and its group company, SOTC Travel, have launched their Europe 2025 Summer Holidays with an early booking campaign targeting value-conscious Indian travellers. The initiative aims to encourage advance bookings and early visa applications, offering attractive discounts and exclusive add-ons for bookings made by November 15, 2024. Leveraging their bulk-buying strength, Thomas Cook and SOTC are providing significant pricing benefits, along with a variety of ready-to-book, air-inclusive group tours.
The Europe 2025 packages offer multi-destination and single-country itineraries, with options to explore popular destinations like the UK, Italy, Switzerland, and France. Travelers can enjoy scenic rail journeys and cruises, such as the Golden Pass Line and Scandinavian Fjords, plus exclusive experiences like a luxury stay in St. Moritz. The tours include quality accommodations, guided group travel, Indian and local cuisine, and premium experiences such as luxury shopping excursions.
Thomas Cook and SOTC are also running special launch offers, allowing travelers to choose between a free holiday, complimentary cruise, or up to INR 35,000 in discounts on select itineraries. Customers booking certain Europe tours can enjoy bonus trips like a 4-night stay in Morocco or a Mediterranean cruise. Rajeev Kale, President of Holidays, MICE, and Visa at Thomas Cook (India) Limited, noted the 12-15% increase in demand for summer travel, which prompted the company to launch early and provide a range of enticing offers to ease travel planning and ensure a stress-free booking experience.
Reflecting changing travel preferences, Thomas Cook and SOTC have introduced unique European experiences such as the Midnight Sun in Norway, horse carriage rides in St. Moritz, and a champagne lunch atop Jungfraujoch. To further cater to Indian tastes, culinary highlights include Lindt chocolate tastings, traditional beverages, and wine tours in France. S.D. Nandakumar, President of SOTC Travel, emphasised the company’s commitment to serving the evolving interests of Indian travellers through its diverse offerings and convenient booking channels across India.
