Valid for agents making bookings before December 6, there will be one £500 life:style Ultimate gift card for the agent making the most bookings, followed by one for £250 and one for £100.
Ben Hall, chief executive, said: “The new experiences in the 2025-26 programme really do enhance our itineraries, taking them to the next level with more variety, more culture and heritage, more excitement and more discovery.
“Whether guests are looking for new Make Travel Matter Experiences or want to get reacquainted with the benefits of group travel and coach touring, we invite everyone to discover more with AAT Kings.”
Hall has also recorded a new episode of the A-Listers podcast, discussing the highlights of the 2025-26 season.
