Contiki rolled out its portfolio of 2026 Europe tours, with almost 70 percent of summer departures available at lower fares.

As a case in point, Contiki has lowered rates by 15 percent on Scotland and Ireland trips and decreased its “Greek Island-Hopping Plus” itinerary by 20 percent.

“Travel should never feel out of reach, which is why our new pricing strategy is about giving young travelers value they can count on,” said Contiki Chief Customer Officer Toni Ambler.

“From lower-priced Europe trips to diverse styles of travel and flexible ways to book, Contiki is opening the door for young people to plan earlier and look forward to experiences that feel both attainable and unforgettable,” she added.

The 2026 tour collection features three new itineraries, including the eight-day “Road Trip to Oktoberfest,” which in addition to a visit the Bavarian festival, explores, Amsterdam, Brussels and Frankfurt; the seven-day “Norway Fjords Explorer,” which puts the focus on activities experiences like husky hikes, sea kayaking and a King Crab safari; and the “Croatia Island Sail & Ultra Festival With Festigo,” which features a week of sailing the Adriatic along with the opportunity to attend a top electronic dance music festival.

The roster of tours also includes options such as rail journeys, a slate of active itineraries, multi-country trips and single-country trips to destinations including Albania, Portugal and Italy.

“In addition to lower pricing, Contiki has introduced a $200 deposit with flexible monthly payments and listed per-day costs, while continuing to provide the built-in value that has long defined its trips, including transportation, accommodations, and curated cultural experiences,” the company said.
