Grand Circle Corporation Launches a Sweepstakes for Travelers

Grand Circle Corporation has just revealed an exciting opportunity for travelers through its newly launched Vacation Ambassador Referral Sweepstakes. This sweepstakes is an extension of the long-standing Vacation Ambassador Referral Program that benefits travelers who refer friends and family to either Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) or Grand Circle Travel.

For a limited duration, from December 8, 2025, to January 30, 2026, Grand Circle provides travelers with a chance to win one of eight extraordinary prizes. Among the prizes, there are four Grand Prizes, each allowing the winner to choose a free trip on any itinerary, or opt for $6,500 in cash. Four additional Second Prizes are available, where winners can take home a free 8 to 12-day Immersions adventure or receive $3,500 in cash.

Winners of the sweepstakes will be announced in February 2026 from entries received during the sweepstakes period.

A Legacy of Rewards

Since its inception over a decade ago, the Vacation Ambassador Referral Program has proven to be one of the most generous in the travel sector. With more than 3,000 free trips awarded, the program has also welcomed over 180,000 new travelers and distributed $35.5 million in rewards since 2013. This substantial commitment has allowed travelers to embark on journeys across the globe, from the majestic landscapes of Egypt and Sicily to the vibrant cultures of Botswana, Croatia, Greece, and the scenic Douro River. Now, with this sweepstakes, Grand Circle continues to build on its impressive legacy of rewarding loyalty.

How It Works

The system is both simple and rewarding. Each time a traveler refers someone, who subsequently books their first trip by January 30, 2026, and provides the referring customer’s name and number during the booking process, the referring customer automatically earns a sweepstakes entry. Likewise, new travelers are awarded an entry as well.

This initiative is more than just a program; it recognizes and celebrates the community cultivated by the travelers who have helped introduce new adventurers to enriching experiences. Brian FitzGerald, CEO of Grand Circle Corporation, stated, "Our travelers have always been our greatest ambassadors. This sweepstakes recognizes the community they've built and the role they play in introducing others to the kind of travel that changes lives."

Additional Incentives

New travelers also benefit with $100 in travel credits on their first reservation. Meanwhile, referring customers can earn tiered cash rewards that could potentially amount to a complimentary trip or a cash prize of up to $6,500, contingent upon the number of successful referrals made within the program period. The exciting addition of the sweepstakes doesn’t change the core rewards, which remain intact.

Participation Made Easy

Participation is designed to be as straightforward as possible. Each qualifying referral provides an entry for both the referring customer and the new traveler, with no cap on how many entries a referring customer can amass. Importantly, there is no requirement for a purchase to enter the sweepstakes, and eligible U.S. residents can also submit a mailed entry in accordance with the official rules as detailed on the respective brand websites.
