Booking Your Trip

HOW DO I BOOK A TRIP?

Booking a trip is super simple and best of all, you have options. If you want to book directly through us, head to www.contiki.com and select ‘Where We Go’ on the left hand side. This will show you all the different regions we explore, and from here you can filter by type of trip, length of trip, price, etc. If you’re more of a people person and want to chat to one of our team, give us a call on 1-866-266-8454 and we can book your trip over the phone. Or, if you prefer to do things face to face, just pop on down to your local travel agent, who will be able to assist you.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

We get that sometimes plans change unexpectedly, so our cancellation policy offers you absolute flexibility and comes in two parts:

FREEDOM GUARANTEE – The Freedom Guarantee policy ensures that even if your travel plans change, you’ll never miss out or be charged fees for changing your booking. If you want to change the dates of your trip, swap onto another trip or even change your trip for a different region entirely, that’s all possible, without incurring fees.

FLEXDEPOSIT – FlexDeposit is a policy you automatically get once you’ve paid a deposit on any Contiki trip. It means if you need to cancel for any reason, your deposit will remain secure until you’re ready to use it, on new trip dates or on a different trip, ensuring your deposit isn't lost if you can't travel on your original trip as intended. FlexDeposit can be used up until your 36th birthday, after which time it can then be transferred for use with any other travel brand within The Travel Corporation family of brands. It can also be gifted to a friend within 5 years of the original booking date. You can find out more about both policies on the following links:
