No two travellers are the same. That’s why Contiki’s new Europe 2015 brochure offers something for everyone, with eight new trip styles that cater to the different experiences young people want to have on holiday. The original youth travel brand’s 2015 lineup also includes 16 brand new trips, with Morocco and Portugal as exciting sunny new destinations and two itineries with a purely Greek focus. Just like back in ’62, the Contiki mission is the same: provide young explorers with more choice, more freedom and more destinations at a great price and with plenty of awesome included experiences.
Travellers can now choose the trip that works best for their travel style, whether they live for the late nights and bright lights of major cities (high energy) or choose to take it easy and relax on some of the world’s best beaches (sailing & cruise). Contiki’s eight new Europe travel styles include:
High Energy Experience Europe through culture-filled days, epic sights and late nights
Easy Pace A more relaxed way to see Europe, for those who want to take it slow
Discovery Plus See and do it all with top amenities and incredible places to rest your head
In-Depth Explorer Get to the heart of the places you visit with more unique experiences and free time to explore
Sailing & Cruise Discover the freedom of a holiday on Europe’s crystal clear waters
Festivals & Short Stays Join our lineup of big festivals, day-trips & Christmas/NYE celebrations
Winter & Ski Explore Europe covered in a dusting of snow or hit some of world’s best slopes
Freestyle Camping European camping adventures with all the luxuries of home
“Contiki is known for delivering the world’s most epic, legendary journeys, but with so many travel options in the marketplace, it is often difficult for young travellers to find that perfect trip. Our eight new trip styles make it easier for millennials to select an adventure of a lifetime,” says Contiki Canada President, Brad Ford. “We have never been more excited than with our 2015 Europe program, and launching 16 brand new trips. Our new trip styles mean consumers can confidently choose from 145 trips in 34 European countries to embark on their dream adventure!”
The two Contiki tours with a Greek focus are:
9-Day Eastern Mediterranean Cruising
The Eastern Mediterranean Cruising offers relaxation, sightseeing and fabulous, authentic Greek food – a major hit with travellers. Beginning and ending in Athens, travellers will cruise for 8 days to the islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Milos, Syros, Samos & Kos well stops in Turkey at Kusadasi and Cesme. There’s nothing quite like watching the sunset over the Mediterranean from the bow of your luxury cruise ship while sipping on the cocktail of the day, making this a perfect trip for someone looking to unwind in style.
9-Day Island Cruising & Santorini
A cruise in the Greek islands is the ideal holiday for anyone who longs for sun, sand and shopping. Culture connoisseurs will enjoy uncovering stories of these magical islands from thousand-year-old Greek history. Free time truly belongs to these island cruisers, who will enjoy a leisurely pace while sailing between Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, and a day in Turkey at Kusadasi.
