This is your youth. You only get to live it once, but if you do it right once is more than enough.
Live life on your own terms - create the stories now that you’ll recount for decades to come.
Make new friends from new places.
Travel a lot. It’s the only thing you’ll buy that’ll make you richer.
Celebrate individuality, diversity, connections& a little bit of craziness.Find comfort outside your comfort zone.See the world through youthful eyes, a little bit of naivety & a truckload of optimism.Live for the moment. Have #NOREGRETS,just memories.And above all... Make every moment count.

There’s no better education than travel. Exploring
the world opens your eyes to different cultures,
different communities & new ways of living.
Travelling responsibly goes hand in hand with this.
Small steps make big waves, we can help protect the
places that have given us countless #NOREGRETS
moments, for years to come.
BE THE CHANGEResponsible travel is about respect for the
destinations we visit, its communities, culture, and
environment. If we travel responsibly, we have the
opportunity to leave a positive impact.
Although there are countless ways to travel
sustainably, here are a few ways we help to benefit
the communities we visit, and the environment:
• We actively support locally owned operators
& suppliers to provide support for our trips
• Our coaches utilize the most efficient engines
available to them in that region
• We contribute to the protection &
preservation of local historical, archaeological
& other significant sites
• We incorporate elements of local art & cultural
heritage in the experiences we offer
• The use of disposable & consumable goods is
reduced in any way possible
• We support & contribute to biodiversity
conservation, including natural protected
areas & areas of high biodiversity
COACH TRANSPORT:A GREENER WAY TO TRAVELThink catching a train or taking public transport is
the most environmentally friendly choice?
Surprisingly, you’re wrong. In fact, coach travel
consistently comes out top as the greenest travel
option, and we can prove it. Research has shown
that one full coach has five times less carbon dioxide
emissions, per passenger per kilometre, than a plane
on the same route. Or, in car terms, for every full
coach there are 16 fewer cars on the road.
CONTIKI + EURO 6 COACHES =A HAPPIER PLANETSince we started exploring the world 53 years ago,
coach travel has remained our primary form
of exploring Europe. Gone are beat up old minivans,
and in its place a fleet of super sleek, sexy &
impossibly efficient Euro 6 coaches. Euro 6 convert
all the dangerous fumes into a mixture of water &
nitrogen, completely harmless products for the
environment. Euro 6 engines are the most advanced
of their kind & currently make up 37% of Contiki’s
fleet of Europe coaches, with plans to double &
triple this figure within the next few years.
THE RECYCLING REVOLUTIONAnd that’s not all. Imagine the number of travellers
who go on a Contiki trip each year. Then imagine
the number of plastic water bottles each traveller
brings with them. A LOT (we’re talking tons & tons
of plastic). Knowing that it takes 1 plastic bottle 700
years to decompose in landfill, we knew that
something needed to be done. Now, each Europe
bound Contiki coach never leaves on a new
departure without carrying bio-bags to collect
travellers’ empty water bottles.
WE NEVE CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY THECONSCIENTIOUS & RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE OFSO MANY OF OUR TRAVELLERS.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL: BE THE CHANGE

2. Explore cities by foot,

on your ME Time to
reduce your carbon
footprint.
3. Switch off when you’re
not in your hotel room to
conserve energy.
4. Buy local – you’ll support

GOT A QUESTION?Answers to frequently asked questions & things you need to know:
Overnight ferries: On overnight ferries, trips are provided with allocated seating on deck.
SKI & BOARD HOLIDAYS: Both our ski & board packages stay at our Contiki Special Stopover, our Austrian Gasthof. Refer to p.47 for details.
FESTIVALS: Some trips offer ‘multi-share’ accomodation. These rooms maybe for up to 8 people with shared facilities & at times may be mixed gender.
WILL I GET MORE INFORMATION? Upon receipt of final payment, your trip documentation will be released 21 days prior to your departure. Make sure you visit contiki.com for our travellers guide. It’s packed full of essential info for your holiday. You’ll also receive a comprehensive day-by-day itinerary including full details & costs of all optional activities available on your trip. Your free Contiki document wallet* & luggage tag will be sent to you with your travel documents. The wallet is a safe place for your tickets & passport.* Contiki reserves the right to substitute an alternative
travel accessory for the Contiki document wallet.
HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED?You should be able to use debit & credit cards for most items. You’ll need to allow enough money to cover meals where not included (breakfast, lunch & dinner), souvenirs, shopping, drinks, ME Time optional excursions & activities, entrance fees to attractions & evening entertainment.
It is advisable to start your trip with some cash in local currencies such as Euro, Swiss Franc & Great British Pounds.
ME TIME OPTIONAL ACTIVITIESWHEN DO I CHOOSE? Optionals are arranged & paid for on trip. By leaving the final decisions until then you can choose at the same time as your new friends. You’ll get great value as we get you great rates & your Trip Manager can offer personal advice. Some activities are seasonal & weather dependent as well.
HOW DO I PAY? Payment for your ME Time optionals is made direct to your Trip Manager on your trip. You can choose to pay in cash (local currency) or by credit or debit card as long as they have a PIN attached. Using a credit or debit card is convenient, and can save you money on withdrawal fees & poor exchange rates! You can pay using most credit & debit cards like Visa, Mastercard & AMEX. Note: It’s a good idea to let your bank know you’re travelling & check if there is a daily transaction limit, so you always have access to money when you need it. Note: In a few destinations we cannot accept credit card payment, like the UK, Croatia, Russia & Turkey. Ask your Trip Manager for details when you start your trip.
PAST TRAVELLER 5% DISCOUNTEligibility for this discount is based on clients having booked & travelled with Contiki (or one of our Travel Corporation sister brands, visit www.thetravelcorporation.com for details) within 5 years of their last trip. Travellers must have completed a trip before they can redeem the discount on a subsequent trip booking. Only one discount can be redeemed per past traveller annually. A deposit must be received before the discount can be applied to the land component of the booking. It is not available on pre & post-trip accommodation rates & other selected products such as internal flights. The discount applies to brochured land prices only & cannot be combined with any non-brochured special market promotions.
BROCHURE AUTHENTICITYWe have put a great deal of effort into producing this brochure. The information given & literature produced by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published in good faith (this includes contiki.com & our e-brochures). Sometimes, because of circumstances outside our control, we have to alter some activities due to seasonal closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives will be arranged.
NO COMPULSORY TIPPING - REWARD ONLY EXCELLENCE!Every country in the world has different tipping policies & in Europe, within service industries, tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations.
If you think your Contiki Team have done an exceptional job then you may wish to tip them.
This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely up to you. No compulsory tipping - reward only excellence!
BOOKING SECURITY Contiki has been running trips for young people since 1962 & in all countries where Contiki operates we fully comply with local travel industry laws. All your money is held in a Trust Account until the time of travel to comply with Canadian Travel Industry Regulations. Contiki is a member of the Association of Canadian Travel Agents (ACTA), the Canadian Association of Tour Operators (CATO) and the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO).
MANAGE BOOKINGReady, set, go! You’re booked & it’s nearly go time, however just like when you’re taking a flight, it’s important you provide us with your all your details before you can travel. Check out contiki.com/managebooking to log into your booking.
HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING?On our trips, luggage is restricted to a maximum suitcase size of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29” x 20” x 10”) & maximum weight of 20 kg (44lbs) plus one small hand/day bag that can go on the coach with you.
Contiki reserves the right to refuse to accept larger & heavier suitcases on your trip.
On Ski holidays you may bring one pair of ski boots & skis or a snowboard. Any luggage over the restricted size or amount can be stored with Contiki in London at a small charge. Baggage is carried at the owner’s risk & baggage insurance is strongly recommended.
DO I NEED VISAS?Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your trip. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Consult your travel agent to determine which visas you require & how to obtain them.
SCHENGEN VISAS The majority of our trips travel in countries that are covered by the Schengen Agreement which relates to visas. Citizens of many countries – eg. Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand – can travel in the Schengen area without a visa. If you require a visa to enter the Schengen area you only need to obtain one visa which will allow you to travel in all Schengen countries. Schengen visas can be issued for single entry or multiple entries. If your trip travels outside of the Schengen area at any point you will require a multiple entry visa. The trips that require multiple entry Schengen visas are listed below: Spanish Spree, European Trail, Eastern Rocker, Trail to Rome, Trail to London.
VISAS FOR NON-SCHENGEN COUNTRIESSome of our trips also visit countries that are not covered by the Schengen Agreement. You may require visas for countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Egypt, Russia, Belarus & Turkey. Depending on your nationality it may be possible to obtain visas for Egypt upon arrival – you should check before you depart for your trip.
IMPORTANT1. Visas can take up to six weeks & a fee is normally charged.
2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your trip & will result in you incurring considerable expense & inconvenience.
3. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel agent before you leave home. Your travel agent will contact Contiki for full details.
4. Contiki will provide you with visa contacts from our London base at the Royal National Hotel, if necessary.
DO I NEED VACCINATIONS?At the time this brochure went to press (May, 2015), no vaccinations were necessary. However, it is wise to check up-to-date information with your travel agent prior to departure. Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines, antibiotics.
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONSecurity is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories“ put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for further information in this regard. You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions.
TRAVEL INSURANCECancellation, unexpected medical expenses, injuries, theft, lost luggage or money can significantly disrupt & ruin your holiday. Contiki very strongly recommends that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for cancellation, medical expenses, evacuation & repatriation expenses, personal accident, personal baggage, money & public liability before you travel. In some instances, you may not be accepted on a Contiki holiday unless you have arranged satisfactory insurance. You also agree to indemnify us against all third-party claims, actions, damages & remedies against us arising from your participation in your holiday. For insurance details, please speak to your travel agent or Contiki when you are booking your trip.
