    Crystal

    Asked on March 22nd, 2026

    As a young woman traveling alone, safety is very important to me. Since I am traveling alone, how are rooms typically arranged? Will I be paired with another female traveler, or do I have the option for a private room? If so, is there an additional cost? Also, am I required to travel with a backpack, or is it acceptable to bring a carry-on suitcase? Are there any size or weight restrictions I should be aware of?

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2026

      We only offer a multi share room for this tour. The multi shared room has a maximum of 6 travellers of the same gender (hostels/hotels). Regarding the luggage, a single bag with size: 29"x20"x10" (73x50x25cm), weight: 44 lbs. (20kg). Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12"x11"x6" (30x28x14cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment.

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Can I take a full size suitcase

    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2026

      You cannot bring a full-size suitcase on the Contiki European Horizon tour — luggage is restricted to one bag weighing no more than 20 kg (44 lbs), plus a small daypack. This is because the coach has limited storage space and travelers often need to carry bags upstairs in hostels. Luggage allowance: A single bag with size: 29"x20"x10" (73x50x25cm), weight: 44 lbs. (20kg). Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12"x11"x6" (30x28x14cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment.

    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2026

      Land price: CAD 1,750.00 per person in a multi-share room. Deposit per person: CAD 200.00 per person. Please note that a multi-share room can accommodate a maximum of six travellers of the same gender in hostels or hotels. Also, our tours do have variable pricing, which is subject to change at any time, there's no guarantee that the prices we quoted will be the same the next time we check for availability. So, when the actual booking is done then the price is also confirmed.

      As me and my husband would be travelling is it possible to get a private room and would be the price?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2026

      Apologies as the only room option for this tour is Multi Share Room.
