Youth travel brand Contiki, part of TTC Tour Brands, has added new European tours, extra Pride trips and limited-edition age-restricted departures to its range.
New options in Europe include Greek Explorer (main picture), which covers Athens, Meteora and Corfu; Best of Baltics; and Best of Georgia.
Departures for several popular trips have been tailored to be exclusively for specific age groups. These include Croatia Island Sail and Greek Island Hopping holidays, which will run variations for those aged 18 to 22, and 27 to 35.
Reunion trips for past Contiki travellers and friends aged between 35 and 45 will run in Morocco, Italy and Spain.
For members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, there are two new Contiki Pride trips: Greek Island Hopping Pride and Croatia Island Sail Pride.
Both are variations of existing Contiki trips and will each feature their own private Pride celebration during the trip.

Also new for 2024 is the Vegan Food Europe Explorer, while the ‘Plus’ range offering upgraded accommodation instead of a multi-share hostel dorm has been expanded.
Natasha Lawrence, commercial and product director at Contiki, said: “Every traveller is different, and this latest product launch is all about recognising that.
“We’re known around the world for our multi-country European adventures, but there are many more ways to explore Europe with us – and our newest trips demonstrate this perfectly.
“There’s Greece which is hugely popular, Georgia which is still a bit of an unknown and the Baltics which offer up thriving art, food and music scenes across cities like Tallinn and Riga.”
She added: “Every 18 to 35-year-old is welcome on all of our trips…but we also know there are 19-year-olds and 33-year-olds who might want to travel with people their own age; there are people from the LGBTQIA+ community who might prefer to travel with a group of fellow community members; there are travellers who want to travel as a big group – but don’t necessarily want to share a room with five other people.”
