A short trip can be the perfect vacation to sell. Clients wanting to make the most of a long weekend, or looking to tack on a few more days to a business trip or cruise may be interested to learn about the Short Breaks range from Intrepid Travel. The trips are currently 15 percent off for bookings made until April 13, 2026 for travel through December 14, 2026. 

Traveller trends continue to confirm the shift toward shorter trips. Intrepid data shows half of past customers globally would consider taking a shorter trip, while a recent Harris Poll found more than two-thirds (67%) of respondents would rather take more frequent short trips than fewer, longer vacations. 

“For advisors looking to drive bookings this quarter, Short Breaks are an incredibly effective option,” said Caroline Tinsley, Head of Partnerships for Canada at Intrepid Travel. “Canadians are increasingly looking to maximize their time off, and these shorter trips make it easier to commit, especially when built around long weekends and limited vacation days.”

Intrepid highlights why Short Breaks are a strong sell right now:

For travel advisors, this represents a high-opportunity product category: shorter trips are easier to book, appeal to a wider range of clients, and often serve as an entry point for longer, higher-value itineraries. 

  • As travellers navigate tighter schedules and a desire to maximize every day away, Short Breaks deliver the depth of a traditional Intrepid journey in less than a week. 
  • Designed around long weekends and strategic travel dates, these 4–6 day itineraries for travellers prioritising depth over duration.  
  • Easy to pair with existing travel plans, including pre- or post-cruise extensions, add-ons to business trips, or cultural experiences attached to family travel. 
  • Each trip is fully planned and locally led, offering meaningful experiences without the stress of organizing logistics independently.
