    Is the trip still available for the September 6 departure? I would be traveling by myself.

    Group size
    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2026

      Yes, we do still have availability for the 06 September 2026 departure. This adventure is currently open for travelers aged 27–35 and not for classic option. For this date, the current package prices are: USD 6,091.00 for a single room (perfect if you prefer your own space as a solo traveler) and USD 4,505.00 for a twin share room. These trip rates are subject to change, so we recommend booking soon to lock in the current pricing and secure your spot on this departure. Traveling in September is a fantastic choice, depending on the destination, you can usually enjoy more comfortable weather, slightly fewer crowds, and a great atmosphere for meeting other like-minded travelers in your age group.

      TravelerWritten August 2026

      I am 63, so apparently that will not work.

    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Unfortunately, as your age does not meet this requirement, we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour. However, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you. Costsaver has all essentials taken care of with the flexibility of 1000 Choice Experiences, to tailor your trip with your way. Alternatively, you could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.
