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.

ARTISAN ENTERPRISE

There’s no better education than travel. Exploring

the world opens your eyes to different cultures,

different communities & a new way of living, and

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 utilise 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 over 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 tonnes &

tonnes 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 NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY TTHE CONSCIENTIOUS & RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE OF SO MANY OF OUR TRAVELLERS.

5 WAYS TO TREAD LIGHTLY WHEN TRAVELLING

2. Explore cities by foot,

bike or public transport

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

the communities you

visit & help reduce

shipping from other

countries.

5. Conserve water in hotels

by turning off the taps

when not in use – water is

a scarce resource in many

of the countries we visit.

1. Bring a reusable water

bottle & reduce the use

of plastics.

GOT A QUESTION?Answers to frequently asked questions & things you need to know:

facilities. These cruise ships offer restaurants, pools, bars & nightly entertainment on board. On our traditional sailing cruise boats in Croatia and traditional gullets in Turkey, travellers will be in twin-share cabins with private facilities. These boats feature a dining room, bar & sundecks. On our small sailing yachts in Greece, we offer twin berth accommodation with shared facilities.

Trains: On some trips, we use trains. On our Egypt trips, two people share a two-berth coachette with shared facilities. On other trips, these details are outlined on the individual itineraries.

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.

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 industry laws. In New Zealand Contiki is an allied member of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ).

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.

5. LIABILITY

5.1 Your travel agent shall, on the receipt of any monies, hold such monies for you until the booking is confirmed at which time those monies shall be remitted promptly by your travel agent to us. All such monies received by us will be deposited as required by law.

5.2 We will be entitled to keep for each account any interest earned on such monies.

5.3 All monies paid by you to us through your travel agent or otherwise, whether in respect of the deposit or full payment, may be disbursed by us as & when we see fit, in respect of the services to be provided &/or fees payable under the trip program. The payment of a deposit or any other monies in respect of your trip shall be deemed to be an authorisation to disburse thereof as aforesaid.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY1.1 In order to reserve your holiday, a deposit of NZ$200, per person per trip, or the full amount payable if booking is made within 45 days of your trip departure, must be submitted to Contiki by you in respect of that holiday. This payment is in addition to any deposit required by your travel agent. The deposit is accepted as a first instalment of the holiday price by Contiki only once the booking has been confirmed in writing by Contiki or your travel agent.

1.2 Your land reservation will be confirmed on receipt of a non-refundable deposit of NZ$200 per person, per trip which must be within 7 days of booking or the reservation will automatically be cancelled.

1.3 Any special meal requirements will be made on a request basis only. Contiki cannot guarantee special meal requests nor will it assume any responsibility or liability if clients’ special meal requirements are not fulfilled.

2. PAYING THE BALANCE2.1 The balance of the holiday price must be paid by no later than 45 days before your scheduled holiday departure date, which shall be by the due date stated on the confirmation issued to you by Contiki. When making multi-trip bookings, full payment is due no later than 45 days before the scheduled departure date of the first departing trip

2.2 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled & cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki.

2.3 Tickets & other documents won’t be forwarded until full payment has been received by us.

2.4 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your trip departure, the full cost of the holiday will be payable immediately on booking & we reserve the right to provide all travel documents at the holiday departure point.

2.5 Contiki reserves the right to cancel the booking & apply cancellation charges should payments not be received within the above specified periods.

3. IF YOU CANCEL3.1 Notice of cancellation must be made in writing to Contiki.

3.2 Your deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation by you.

3.3 Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to cover the estimate of cost & expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder. This is expressed as a percentage of the holiday price & is calculated as follows:

PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEEOver 45 days notice: ................................................Deposit is forfeited

45-22 days: .................................................................. 25% of trip fare

21-8 days: .................................................................... 30% of trip fare

7-1 days: ...................................................................... 50% of trip fare

Day of departure:........................................................100% of trip fare

When the percentage cancellation fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any holiday insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. All Cancellation policies valid as at 22nd May 2015, and are subject to change. Final policy will be confi rmed at time of booking.

3.4 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to & after your trip booking, such as pre & post accommodation & transfers, that are cancelled within 14 days of the trip departure incur a 100% cancellation fee.

3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be levied by your Travel Agent.

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternate departure date or you wish to change to a different Contiki holiday, you may do so subject to availability & provided the new holiday date is also in this brochure.

4.2 A fee of NZ$30 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed unless the change increases the value of the booking. A change of trip date, trip itinerary booking within 45 days of departure date will be treated as a cancellation, & normal cancellation fees will apply except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or greater value in which case a NZ$30 per person amendment fee will be charged.
