Travellers can choose from 10 new itineraries, including Contiki’s first-ever trip to Albania and destinations across Athens, Rome, France, England, Switzerland, Morocco, and Egypt.

To celebrate the launch of the new itineraries on September 10th, the first 10 travellers to book select trips will receive 50 per cent off, with savings of up to CAD$2,009.

“We’ve been leading travel experiences in Europe for over 60 years, and it’s a region that holds a special place in Contiki’s history and heart,” said Adam Armstrong, CEO of Contiki. “This new collection of trips is about evolving with our travellers' desires. We want to uncover hidden gems and offer fresh, immersive experiences that align with the interests of travellers today, and launching in destinations like Albania reflects our commitment to bringing new, off-the-beaten-path adventures to life."

The new 8-day ‘Albania Beaches & Peaks’ trip showcases Albania’s emerging status as a top travel destination, recently ranked among the top 3 trending by MasterCard Economics Institute.

Budget-friendly trips to Peru

In South America, Contiki has introduced two new budget-friendly trips to Peru: ‘Lima to Machu Picchu Road Trip’ and ‘Peru: Lima to Huaraz.’ 

These trips are part of Contiki’s expanded Latin America collection and include English and Spanish-speaking trip managers, quality hostel accommodations, internal transport, and comfortable sleeper coaches.

The ‘Lima to Machu Picchu Road Trip’ covers Peru’s must-see highlights in 11 days, including the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, sand buggy rides in Huacachina, aerial views of the Nazca Lines, boat tours of the Ballestas Islands, cultural experiences at Lake Titicaca, and a visit to a Pisco vineyard.

The ‘Peru: Lima to Huaraz’ trip is a unique opportunity to explore the lesser-known city of Huaraz over six days, featuring hikes to one of South America’s last tropical glaciers, visits to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chavin de Huantar, and a trek to the stunning Laguna 69 in the Andes. Contiki is now the first youth operator to spend more than just a day in the lesser-known city of Huaraz.
