    Asked on June 28th, 2026

    I am a Travel Agent and I have some clients interested in this tour for carnival. Do you only have 7 space available for the end of January to February 8? Do you offer a Tour Operator rate if I want to travel with my clients?

      Do you offer a Tour Operator rate if I want to travel with my clients?

    • ContikiOperator•Written June 2026

      Yes, this tour is currently open for booking. We have available departure date for January 31 to February 8, 2027. The current rates based on rooming are as follows:

      Single room: $3,128.00
      Twin room: $2,056.00 per person

      Prices and availability remain subject to change until your booking is created.

      As for a travel agent rate, we have coordinated with TourRadar and you may await their update.

      Please be advised that Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.

      Our tours are in high demand and often fill up quickly, so availability and prices can change at any time. Right now, there's still space, and booking sooner means we can secure your spot at the current rate before it's gone.

    • ContikiOperator•Written June 2026

      TourRadar does not offer special rates for travel agents. Instead, as a travel agent you earn a commission on bookings made through our platform, which is already built into the pricing structure.
