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.

NICE

There’s no better education than travel. Exploring

the world opens your eyes to different cultures,

different communities & a new way of living, and

traveling 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 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 REVOLUTIONImagine the number of travelers who go on a

Contiki trip each year. Then imagine the number of

plastic water bottles each traveler 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 travelers’ empty water bottles.

WE NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY THECONSCIENTIOUS & RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE OFSO MANY OF OUR TRAVELERS.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL: BE THE CHANGE

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

5. Conserve water in hotels

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 & is a member of the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA). USTOA includes all the major tour operators who are financially bonded for your security & who maintain the highest standards. Contiki is also a member of the National Tour Association (NTA) & the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). With the guarantees of these organizations, you know your vacation & money are secure with Contiki.

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 29” x 20” x 10” (73cm x 50cm x 25cm) & maximum weight of 44lbs (20 kg) 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 vacations 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 vacation. 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 trip unless you have arranged satisfactory insurance.

For insurance details, please speak to your travel agent or Contiki when you are booking your trip.

BOOKING CONDITIONSOnce Contiki accepts your booking by confi rmation thereof a contract is made between Contiki & you upon the terms & conditions set out below.


OUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. YOUR VACATION RESERVATIONOn receipt of your deposit, subject to availability and at our discretion, Contiki will reserve your place on your selected vacation. A contract is only made between you and us upon your booking being confirmed and accepted by us and our communication thereof to either you or your travel agent. 2. PRICE GUARANTEEa) Trip Prices: Are based on costs, tariffs, taxes, charges, levies and exchange rates as of May 11th, 2015. Should these change, the price of your vacation may increase. If the total price increases by more than 10%, you may cancel, without penalty, within 3 DAYS after we notify you of the increase. Except as explained below, we will not increase the price of your land vacation after we receive your full deposit for your land vacation. In exchange for this guarantee, no refund will be made if the cost factors described above are reduced. We reserve the right to recover from any increases in cruise line imposed fuel surcharges and in taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or its agencies.b) Airline Fuel Surcharges, Air-related Taxes, Fees & Restrictions, & Levies Imposed by any Government or its Agencies: As noted above, all quoted land and air prices include airline fuel surcharges and Air-Related Taxes and Fees, applicable as of May 11th, 2015. However, if the customer is notified of the potential for a price increase and we have received the customer’s written or verbal consent prior to accepting any payment, we reserve the right to recover from any increases in those surcharges. Any additional fees charged by the airlines, such as baggage handling, seat selections, and/or any other services are the sole responsibility of the passenger(s). Additional air-related restrictions apply. See section 4.3 for details.3. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR VACATION3.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel any trip departure in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. 3.2 If a cancellation is made any time prior to the trip departure*, Contiki’s only liability will be to refund the passenger the amount it has received for the booking. Contiki will try and re-book the same or a similar trip and, where flights have been confirmed by Contiki, will attempt to confirm air seats for the new date selected, subject to availability. Contiki is not liable for any changes, amendment or cancellation penalties incurred on any other travel arrangements purchased separately.3.3 If an alternative trip is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki vacation without payment of any transfer fee. *Please Note: The departure date constitutes the date indicated on Contiki’s invoice. If you do not join the trip on the day of departure then cancellation fees will be 100%.3.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect to your booking. 3.5 Contiki is not responsible for the costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or rescheduling of any trip departure.4. VACATION DETAILS AND CONDITIONS4.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of going to print (May, 2015) but we cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available, especially where we have no direct control over it.4.2 With respect to Contiki’s touring program Contiki will do our best, at our discretion, to select accommodations, sightseeing trips and transportation to give you good value for your money.4.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve trip itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations.4.4 Any special meal requirements will be made on a request basis only. Contiki cannot guarantee special meal requests nor will assume any responsibility or liability if clients special meal requests are not fulfilled.5. LIABILITY5.1 Contiki is responsible for properly arranging and conducting your vacation.5.2 As a Trip Operator, Contiki makes arrangements with carriers, hoteliers and other independent suppliers to provide you with some or all of the travel services you purchase. These parties are independent suppliers over whom Contiki has no direct control. Unless caused by its own negligence, Contiki is not responsible for and accepts no liability in respect to any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising out of:a) personal injury, sickness, disease, accident or death, however caused, including without limitation, where same results from your conduct on vacation.b) loss or damage to or delay of baggage or other property unless resulting from Contiki’s negligence in which case Contiki’s liability shall be limited to the actual loss but in no event would exceed the total vacation cost.c) delays and loss as a result of government action, weather, mechanical breakdown, equipment failure, labor disputes, sickness, acts of war, insurrection, terrorism, Acts of God or any other causes beyond Contiki’s direct control. Contiki cannot be responsible for interruption of air carrier service due to airline default.d) acts or omissions, whether negligent or otherwise, of suppliers of services or their personnel (including, without limitation, transportation and accommodation services) or of any other person or body unless such a person or body is employed by us, or is an agent of ours, and is acting within the scope of his or her authority. In no event is Contiki liable for the acts or omissions of independent third party contractors or of its own employees or agents acting outside the scope of their duties.e) loss of enjoyment, upset, disappointment, distress or frustration, whether physical or mental, resulting from any of the following: (i) any matter or topic described in sub-paragraphs (a) to (d) inclusive above. (ii) your failure to obtain the necessary documentation to travel. (iii) your failure to arrive on time for initial departure or for connections within the trip or to stay within or join your trip at any time after initial departure. (iv) your leaving the trip prior to its completion. (v) the need for Contiki to change itineraries or substitute accommodations or services, provided that Contiki makes every effort to supply the most comparable services and accommodations available. (vi) cancellation of the vacation by Contiki provided that a full refund of all monies paid is made to you.(vii) Many of our activities are action and adventure orientated. Sports and similar activities inherently involve risks of injury greater than those that would be encountered if you were not participating in such, and therefore, by voluntarily taking part in any sports or other such activities, you thereby acknowledge and assume any of the risks inherent therein. In the absence of negligence on our part, or on the part of our agents and representatives, neither we nor they accept any responsibility for, and shall not be liable for, any injury, illness, damage, loss, accident, expense, delay or any other irregularity resulting from your participation in any of the activities made available to you.(viii) We take every reasonable precaution possible to assure your comfort, safety, and enjoyment while you are taking part in a Contiki vacation. Contiki vacations are generally for the young, and not for the frail or those not generally enjoying good health. A change of climate, food, time and varied cultural habits often affects travelers differently. We therefore recommend that you advise your doctor that you are taking one of our vacations and ask if he or she recommends anything for your trip, even for something as seemingly benign as an upset stomach. Since the brands of any medication to which you are accustomed may be unavailable in places to which you are traveling, we recommend you bring

your own supply of any medication you will require and carry such medication in your hand luggage. Prescription drugs should be carried in the original labeled bottles. Should you fall ill during your Contiki vacation, we will make every reasonable effort to make prompt, sanitary, safe and proper medical care available to you. However, if at anytime or anywhere treatments of any sort are suggested to you that do not meet your needs or expectations, you should not hesitate to contact your own doctor. Also, please note that the same sorts of activities that can expose you to certain types of diseases at home can just as easily expose you to those same diseases abroad. This information is provided only for your convenience and we are not responsible or liable for any damages resulting from your failure to confirm or ascertain health information or medical precaution, if any, for the places which you will be visiting. (ix) Contiki is responsible for taking care to arrange and conduct your vacation properly. With you in mind, we have accepted applications from and interviewed numerous potential employees, and then we select only those people whom we believe in our best judgement would be responsible and congenial, Trip Managers, Representatives and Drivers. Although we firmly believe, based on personal interviews and certain disclosures made to us by our employees, that all of our employees enjoy excellent health, we, like other trip operators, are legally unable to confirm this in most, if not all, instances.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. BOOKING YOUR VACATION1.1 In order to reserve your vacation, a deposit of US$200, per person per trip, or the full amount payable if booking is made within 45 days of departure, must be submitted to Contiki by you in respect of that vacation. This payment is in addition to any deposit required by your travel agent. The deposit is accepted as a first installment of the vacation price by Contiki only once the booking has been confirmed in writing by Contiki or your travel agent. If paying by a third-party credit card your Contiki specialist will provide you a third-party authorization form that must be completely filled out and received by Contiki before payment can be received.1.2 Your land reservation will be confirmed on receipt of a non-transferable, non-refundable deposit of US$200 per person for the first trip booked and then a deposit of US$200 for second and subsequent trips booked at the time of booking or the reservation will automatically be cancelled.1.3 To reserve your airfare, a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of US$350 per person is required at time of booking.

The Department of Transportation now requires Contiki to inform you of the following conditions. The package price is subject to change until it has been paid in full. When this happens, it is usually the result of increases in fuel surcharges and or government taxes. You must consent to the possibility that, until you pay for your package in full, your price could go up. Once you have paid in full we would only pass along increases in government taxes if applicable at that time. Bookings made directly with Contiki have 7 days from receipt of the first invoice to cancel booking and request a refund. Bookings made through a travel agent are subject to standard booking conditions and do not qualify for a refund.2.3 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled and cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki.2.4 Tickets and other documents won’t be forwarded until full payment has been received by Contiki.2.5 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your departure, the full cost of the vacation will be payable immediately on booking.

you may do so subject to availability and provided the new vacation date is also in this brochure.4.2 A fee of US$30 per person charged, in addition to airline fees, for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed. Any alterations risk the loss of air space or increased airfares. Name changes or corrections will be treated as a cancellation of air and all normal air cancellation fees will apply. A change of trip date or trip itinerary within 45 days of trip departure will be treated as a cancellation, and normal cancellation fees will apply except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or greater value in which case a US$30 per person amendment fee will be charged.4.3 Airfare fees are based on roundtrip ticket purchase. Airfares are based on availability of contracted classes of service. If full payment is not received by 45 days prior to departure, the Airlines have the right to cancel the Air reservation. If payment is not received, Contiki is not responsible for a lost reservation. If a passenger does not show up to their flight, it will be considered a cancellation and no refund will be given. All airfares are subject to change without notice. Prices in this brochure are subject to limitation. For the most current pricing ask your travel agent or call the Contiki reservations center. 5.

We do not tolerate the possession or carriage of illegal or restricted substances (drugs). Furthermore, you agree that your fellow travelers and any Contiki Representatives have the right to travel/work in a safe environment.
