Trafalgar is launching a search for the Godmother of its newest river ship, Trafalgar Dreamer, ahead of her debut on the Seine in April 2027. Through ‘The Great Godmother Search’, the brand is inviting past guests to submit a meaningful story or memory from their travels with Trafalgar for the chance to become part of Trafalgar history and inviting their travel advisor to share in the moment. The selected Godmother will christen Trafalgar Dreamer and sail on the ship’s inaugural voyage along with their travel agent. If the winner names a travel agent in their application, that agent will also receive a complimentary place on the inaugural sailing.
Trafalgar encourages travel agents to support the search for its Godmother by sharing the opportunity with their clients. Agents are asked not to submit entries on behalf of their guests.
The search builds on a tradition Trafalgar began with Trafalgar Verity and Trafalgar Reverie, when past guests American Cassie Estrella-Roca and Australian Kate McIntosh were selected as the ships’ respective Godmothers. See their Instagram post HERE.
“Travel has a way of creating memories that stay with us long after a trip comes to an end, and those stories are at the heart of what makes the Trafalgar experience so special,” said Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO and Chief Sales Officer, TTC Tour Brands. “The Great Godmother Search allows us an opportunity to celebrate the meaningful connections our guests have made through travel and invite one of those travellers to play a special role in welcoming Trafalgar Dreamer to the Seine. Our travel agents are an important part of those journeys, and we wanted to recognise their role in orchestrating these memorable experiences. As we look ahead to her debut, we’re excited to celebrate the stories, experiences and relationships that have shaped Trafalgar for nearly 80 years.”
Eligible past Trafalgar guests can submit their stories through 29 October 2026. Advisors are encouraged to share the opportunity with their past guests and remind them to include their name when completing the entry.
Trafalgar Dreamer will begin sailing on the Seine in April 2027 with the new Best of the Seine with Paris & Normandy itinerary, bringing Trafalgar’s signature approach to guided travel to the river and offering guests a new way to experience Europe through expert guidance, authentic local experiences and meaningful connections with the destinations along the way.
Guests can submit their entries and find full eligibility requirements, judging criteria and official campaign terms and conditions by visiting TrafalgarGodmother.com .
