Adventures to all corners of the world just got more affordable.
Perfect for solo travellers and groups of friends looking to make more, Contiki has been offering affordable adventures to the 18-30 something crowd for decades. And thanks to regular sales, always-on discounts and the occasional promo code offer, here’s how you can save even more.
What’s the June 2024 Contiki sale?
If you book before 2 July, you can save big on Europe tours departing in autumn or winter. (That’s the European autumn or winter.)
While the Contiki website and email newsletter all advertise a savings of up to 25% off, we are finding some tours discounted by up to 30%. Like this Greek Island Hopping tour.
Here’s a sample of the deals included in this sale
- Up to 30% off: 18-day Great Britain and Ireland
- Up to 30% off: 12-day Simply Italy
- Up to 30% off: 12-day European Discovery
- Up to 30% off: 25-day European Quest
- Up to 30% off: 16-day London to Rome Quest
When can you travel?
Officially, the sale is for trips departing 1 August 2024 to 31 October 2025, but we did find some tours departing earlier than that if you’re keen to get on the road sooner.
This includes last-minute July 2024 tours.
How good is this Contiki sale?
We think it’s pretty good! Usually Contiki sales are capped at 25% off, so the fact that we found plenty of departures at the 30% mark — and during peak season — is great.

How far in advance to book to get the best price
Luckily, you can get a deal whether you book a tour departing next month or next year.
While the company does have a last-minute deals section, where you can save up to 20% on tours departing within the next couple months.
But, if you’re not a last-minute type of traveller, during big sales the travel window is often very wide.
For example, during the Black Friday sale in November 2023, you could book tours departing up until the end of December 2024.
