Contiki Launches 2015-2017 USA & Canada Program

Limited-time savings of up to $1,255 per person is available in all 26 North American adventures


TORONTO, June 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Contiki (http://contiki.com), the world's leader in youth travel, has launched its 2015-2017 USA & Canada program, offering the most comprehensive, well-rounded and epic adventures showcasing the best of North America. Travellers can now choose from six travel styles and 26 itineraries, including three brand new trips.

 "Canadians are fortunate to live in one of most vibrant, lively and geographically-diverse continents in the world, says Contiki Canada president, Brad Ford. "With so much to see, Contiki travellers can fit in more iconic experiences like skiing in Whistler, eating southern barbeque in Texas, exploring Soho and Greenwich Village New York City and the non-stop nightlife of Las Vegas - in a no-stress, and extremely fun format that gives whole a new meaning to a cross-continent road trip."

Three new itineraries have been added for 2015-2017; including the 14-Day Eastern Escapade which captures the best of big cities like Boston, Philadelphia and New York; the 8-Day Revolutionary Road with an immersive, historical focus on New England and D.C. and an action-packed 7-Day Canadian Encounter through the Eastern Canada and USA. For every traveller, Contiki's must-do North American experiences include:

Why take a Contiki vs. going it alone on a road trip? Contiki offers more value, inclusions and convenience, focusing on:

  • Incredible Food: North American cuisine offers something for everyone, from diners and grills, to ethnic, local, uber-healthy and up-and-coming menus (think gluten-free bakeries abound!). With included breakfast every day, travellers can kick-off the morning with sustenance.
  • Time Saving Internal Flights: Shorter transit time allows travellers to see and do more. While on the road, travellers enjoy luxury, private Contiki coaches where their bags are loaded on-and-off.
  • Meeting Great People: Taking a new adventure creates lifelong bonds and turns every experience into a rich experience. From time together on the coach, to seeing new sites for the first time, travel is more fun as a group.
  • Tons of ME Time: Every Contiki trip includes a perfect balance of included activities with "ME Time" optionals for travellers to enjoy an area independently. Not only does this keep budgeting in check, but allows travellers to spend their holiday in the way they want.

Get ready to live in the moment, embrace all that the world has to offer and build friendships that will last a lifetime. For all USA & Canada itineraries, visit: http://www.contiki.com/destinations/usa-canada and follow along on Instagram,FacebookTwitter and hashtag #NOREGRETS. To book, please call 1-866-224-0267.
