Singapore, July 25th 2013 - Thinking about a winter getaway during these sticky summer months? Contiki (www.contiki.com) recently launched their Seeing is Believing campaign offering 7.5% off trips for only a 1 more month!* Up until August 30th, young travellers can save up to US$670 off the cost of their winter trips to Europe, with a number of incredible itineraries to choose from, including Ski Austria and favourites like the 12-day Simply Italy and 13-day Mediterranean Highlights. New to the winter brochure this year are 6 budget trips, ranging from 9-25 days and giving 18-35's the opportunity to get the full Contiki experience and stay in a mixture of hotels and hostels on a budget that works for them.

"This is the first time we've included our budget trips in the winter program, and it's a great way for travellers who are trying to watch their spending to save even more money by travelling in the low season," says Kevin Khor, Head of Sales & Marketing, Asia.

The 8-day budget Western Rocker is a fun journey to some of Europe's most popular destinations, including England, France, Switzerland and Italy. Starting in Rome and ending in London, this trip takes 18-35's to see some of the most iconic sights in places like Paris, Florence and the Swiss Alps. Like on superior Contiki trips, guests will see all the iconic sights on the budget itineraries, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Duomo in Florence. Backstage Pass inclusions feature a special access Rome sightseeing tour, a walking tour of Florence's famous sights and an exclusive 'Paris by Night' sightseeing tour with champagne and escargot.

On the 23-day European Trail, guests can expect to visit 14 countries and receive a number of Backstage Pass inclusions. Starting in London and ending in Paris, guests also visit cities like Amsterdam, Berlin Budapest, Prague, Krakow and Venice. A variety of Backstage Pass activities are included on this budget itinerary, as travellers go on a locally guided tour of Auschwitz Concentration Camp memorial, enjoy a private boat ride of the canals of Venice and visit the White Cliffs of Dover. Contiki also offers plenty of ME Time optionals for guests to choose from, including a Schnapps museum visit and tasting in Vienna, a Tuscan hills feast in Florence and a cabaret show with dinner in Paris.
