  Yep, I am doing a USA tour called the Grand Northern then flying to Croatia a few days afterward for this cruise.

  I recently got back from a long Euro tour and Croatia was on my list of places I have to go back to! Dubrovnik was one of my favourite cities! So I can’t wait lol

  How about you?

  Sounds like an awesome trip!!

  Yeah my fam is from Croatia so I’ve been back once and its amazinggggg, Dubrovnik is stunning! and Hvar is beautiful!

  I will be doing the greek island hopping in late july then straight to Split for the sail trip .. then a few days in croatia solo and a couple of days in Rome :) (well thats the plan) exciting! Are you going straight home after the sail?

  Did you book a standard cabin on the boat or upgrade to an above-deck cabin?

  Yeah hopefully July/Aug comes around quick!
  I was originally looking at doing Greece as well, but opted to stay in the states longer and fly straight to Split just before the cruise starts.

  Nah I stay in Croatia for an extra day or two after the tour. It just depends on which cheap/available inter-Euro flights are available as I will be going to London for a week too.

  Your plan sounds good, Rome was awesome… Italy as a whole was great.

  It wasn’t much more so I decided to get an on/above deck Cabin. Have you booked your’s yet?
  Solo Traveler? There were heaps last time I did Contiki and by the end of it pretty much everyone were good friends!

  Yeah true, so will you book your inter-euro flights soon or wait til just before you leave? I am thinking I’ll book my little flights in a few weeks when I have the money so theyre locked in .. just worried that because its so far in advance they may change the times or something!

  Yeah I am definately going to go for a on/above deck cabin :) planning to book this Sunday at the euro expo :D might get a good deal!

  Yep I’m a solo traveller – nervous about it but so excited!!! Do you know which boat your on? Because apparently there are 2 boats on the 11th Aug leaving from Split, thats what my travel agent said anyway!

  Yeah I am booking my flight soon, just shopping around a bit. There’s a phone App called sky scanner which is good for all those little Euro Airlines like Easyjet, Ryanair, Transavia, etc. Hopefully the flights dont change haha, but I assume there would be some alternative if something goes wrong.

  You should get a good deal, especially if you’re doing more than one tour. You’re not from Sydney aye? The Expo was just this past weekend here which is why I booked mine this early and got some decent savings.

  I think the only probelem with being a solo traveler is getting stuck with a not-so-good room mate haha. Doubt it will be an issue… after all, how much time would you want to spend in your room when there is gonna be so much to do!

  I wouldn’t have a clue what boat I am on to be honest, I didn’t even know there were two lol. A mate that’s doing the cruise with me booked his seperately, so I better find out :/ If you find happen to find out for sure if there are 2, let me know… thanks for the heads up though :)

  Lol i become such a keeno when talking about the trip!

  Yeah there’s multi-tour discounts and discounts for return Contiki travelers.

  Thanks heaps… My mate and I have already been in contact with the travel agent. Haha would have hated to get half way round the world only to find out we’re not on the same boat lol.

  Yes!!! Everyone that’s been reckons to pay the extra for above deck coz u get a window and get some breeze in during the night which u need coz it’s boiling on there! The cheaper one is below deck with a pothole and u can smell the fumes all day! Might be worth paying the extra for! And then we can room up :)

  Some Contiki lady on Facebook was able to check what departure I was on for me, takes care of that lol
  Must be a good trip to run two at the same time :)

  Yeah there is an accommodation option to be on or above deck for a little bit extra. Sounds like it would be worth it for better views. People I know who have been said the on deck rooms had some good parties haha

  Hi everyone… I’ve been planning a trip to Croatia but haven’t had a chance to finalize anything until now. I am a solo traveler as well but I am meeting a friend in Croatia for a week and decided I might as well do the cruising too to make it a longer trip.

  Does anyone have any advice or would like to room together? I haven’t book yet but I’m hoping to do it in the next couple of days….

  I hope to hear from y’all!
