  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?

  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 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.

  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!

  Yep an FB group will be good, the tour is a definite departure so there should already be a fair few people doing it. Will definitely get a page going soon.
  I got above deck, Edel on departure A.

  That’s awesome Alisha, thats $50 more worth of Croatian Kuna to spend haha
  I’m an Aussie, from Sydney… and yourself?
  Nothin fancy behind my name, just my initials and birthday. In hindsight, not so creative lol
