More Ideas For Last Minute Spring Break Deals

Here are two great Websites to check out for spring break deals: Contiki and Student City. Both of these sites cater to young adults and college students.

Contiki offers something unique if you're looking outside of the usual Bahamas/Mexico kind of thing. Instead, they plan out trips to countries all over the world (many of them are multi-country tours), including a guide that brings you around to different places. Here are some cool things to know about Contiki trips:
  • it's relatively cheap for the amount things included in the price (tour guide, transportation from country to country, some meals, lodging, daily itinerary, taxes/tips/service charges)

  • it's only for a younger crowd, the age range is 18-35

  • there's a nice balance of planned events and time to explore on your own (optional activities are available if you're not quite sure what to do with yourself or you get lost easily like I do)

Student City on the other hand, is definitely geared more toward students looking for a sunny getaway. For the most part, this is for those who need help in planning the logistics of a trip (flight and hotel) for a group, but once you get there, you're on your own. You do have the choice of getting a meal plan and/or party package to avoid any worry of spending too much money during your trip. Like Contiki, Student City also has some great advantages:

  • you can make your stay all-inclusive to an extent - a meal plan would cover 2 meals per day, and the party package includes open bar, free cover, and express entry

  • they offer "party cruises" if you prefer the open water to dry land

  • they have a lot of last minute deals starting as low as $299 right now!
