  • #DREAMBIG

    WE ARE TOPDECKWe do epic Eurotrips, Big Game safaris, American road trips, sailing trips, pyramid expeditions, and other awesomeness around the world for travellers between 18-39.

    We realise that everyones different, which is why all our trips include heaps of free time to play and explore. Its your trip, your way.

    Your trip includes all the must-see, must-do activities and top-notch local fare to recharge those batteries between stops, which means you can spend your money where it matters and well take care of the rest.

    You will hit the road on modern, WiFi-equipped coaches, stay in handpicked accommodation ranging from castles to your own grand Budapest hotel and hang out with other young explorers bent on seeing the world.

    And thats just how we got started. We had a group of mates, some wheels and enough wanderlust to make most mothers worried.

    Forty years into it, were still discovering new places to see and unforgettable travel experiences to make our passengers trips just that little bit more awesome.

    Ready to pack your bags? Lets talk.

  • THE GREAT EUROPEAN BUCKET LIST | 05

    0 3 DUBROVNIK DUBSTEP. Also known as Kings Landing. Sans Lannisters and cloaked men with swords. The country that brought you the necktie, Dalmatians and a currency named after an adorable little rodent, also happens to host the hottest city in Europe right now. Think baroque buildings behind medieval city walls, epic Adriatic Sea sunsets and glitzy nightlife.

    PAGE. 22, 35, 58, 110, 139.

    0 4 SAILING THE MEDITERRANEAN. Life is all about choices. You've got four: Greece, Croatia, Turkey or Spain. Then theres the swimwear dilemma, the snorkeling versus sunbathing predicament and the impossible toss-up between jumping back in for a swim and staying right where you are. Work the tan, live the dream, forget the rest. Tough life, we know.

    PAGE. 28, 39, 81, 115, 152.

    0 5 ONCE WERE WARRIORS. There used to be vikings here. But modern-day Scandinavia is a mix of stylish hi-tech cities, cosy cottages, fjords and ridiculously good-looking people. Theres also the midnight sun, saunas and the home of Santa Claus. While rune stones have now officially

    been swapped for iPads, Scandinavia remains an effortless blend between ice age and space age.

    PAGE. 60, 70, 86, 96, 114.

    0 6 GREEK ISLANDS. Yiros, olives and sunshine are all crucial parts of a balanced diet. You go to Mykonos for the party, Paros for the village feel and Santorini for the best sunsets in the world. Melt away under the Mediterranean sun by day, party by night and pinch yourself regularly. If home is where the heart is, it comes with a blue roof.

    PAGE. 58, 64, 75, 90, 118.

    0 9 VISCA BARA!. This is not Spain. Well technically it is, but the differences go beyond language. This is the stomping ground of Gaudi and Dali, the gin & tonic is better than the sangria and locals scoff at the work ethics

    of its southern neighbours. Expect: hip bars, cosmopolitan funkiness and a passion for football.

    PAGE. 34, 50, 74, 98, 111.

    1 0 ICH BIN EIN BERLINER. Once bitten twice as funky. Despite nearly three decades of Cold War politics and bitter separation, Berlin has bounced back as a hub of tolerance and creativity. Visit the remnants of the notorious Berlin Wall for a sobering Throwback Thursday then equalise with a dose of the citys contagious night vibes.

    PAGE. 24, 60, 80, 113, 160.

    0 1 PARDON MY FRENCH. Paris is a love affair meant to be continued. It starts with a romantic rendezvous under Pont-Marie, a fleeting

    kiss at the Eiffel Tower and a history lesson at

    Muse du Louvre. Its home to the Mona Lisa and Coco Chanel, Jay-Z went here for his birthday and kissing in public is encouraged. And dont get us started on the food.

    PAGE. 21, 55, 105, 127, 160.

    0 2 PRAGUE TIPPLES. Its officially a thing. Prague has the best beer in Europe (sorry Carlsberg). Start with classics like Urquell, Staropramen and Budvar then make your way to local drops like Kout na umav and Svijansk

    Ryt. Also, dont miss one of the best-preserved old

    towns in the world, the Lennon Wall and the fact that its perfectly fine to drink beer at 11am.

    PAGE. 26, 79, 96, 124, 163.

    TOP 10 B U C K E T L I S T

    0 7 SWISS ALPS. Theres more to Switzerland than chocolate. Yodeling and cuckoo clocks aside, this is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. For a country that runs like precision clockwork, theres no shortage of time-passing opportunities. Take on four languages, many waterfalls and the highest railway station in Europe (3,454m!). Also: cheese fondue.

    PAGE. 24, 28, 68, 98, 104.

    0 8 V FOR VENICE. You come for the gondolas and stay for the gelato. Cruise down ancient canals or island-hop your way around in a vaporetto life here runs on cruise control and so should you. Explore a never-ending maze of marble churches and historical relics making up one of the most complicated architectural contraptions in human history.

    PAGE. 26, 39, 52, 82, 114.

  • What if all the important signs of a bucket list adventure were gliding right past you? That would be a

    tragedy. So here are 13 signs to show that it was all meant to be, anyway.

    13 SIGNS YOU SHOULD GO SAILING IN CROATIA | 07

    1 YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR IS A MIND-BLOWING BLUE. Which means youre going to (really) dig the Blue Cave. Near the island of Vis, this sunken water cave has had its fair share of admirers over the years, including one Baron Eugen von Ransonet, who was the first to paint the glowing blue light for which its known!

    2 YOU LOVE TO SWIM. EVEN BETTER? You love to swim in warm, clear waters without a care in the world. Just a standard day in the life of a Croatian sailor.

    3 AS SOON AS YOU SEE A SAIL BOAT, your heart skips a beat, and youre donning nautical stripes and a captains hat before you can say sea legs. Dont worry, its a natural occurrence for someone destined for the seas of Croatia.

    4 YOU SEE SCENES OF KINGS LANDING in Game of Thrones and you have a sudden and overwhelming urge to go to therewherever there is. Hot tip: it happens to be the ancient capital of Croatia, Dubrovnik, and its awesome! Walk the old stone walls and youll see plenty of GoT sets; the Battle of Blackwater raged on in the bay, Lovrjenac Fort became the Red Keep and Daenerys walked the walls of Mineta Tower to enter the House of Undying. Youll feel like an extra just being there!

    5 YOU THINK SPENDING YOUR MORNINGSand most of the daytime hourshanging out on a deck, sunbathing is the ultimate relaxing holiday activity. #nojudgment

    6 BUT, YOU LIKE VARIETYits the spice of life right?and you know that the adrenaline rush option aint far

    away. If kayaking, biking and snorkelling dont float your boat (hooray for puns!), then we cant help you!

    7 YOURE STRANGELY OKAY WITH DRINKING A COMBINATION OF RED WINE AND FANTA. Its called mish-mash, its delicious, and youll drink it at the many beach bars dotted along the Croatia coastline.

    8 YOU LOVE BEING ROCKED TO SLEEP by the motion of the waves. Theres nothing better than drifting off to the sound of waves lapping every night.

    9 YOUR GOPRO IS FULL OF THOUSANDS OF SUNSET SELFIES. Sol, sunce, soleil whatever you call that blazing ball of gas in the sky, when it sets over the Adriatic Sea, your mind will be officially blown.

    10 IF YOU FIND YOURSELF SINGING IN GROUPS about love, the sea and wine, then youre definitely Dalmatian. Klapaacapella singing of the goosebump kindis inscribed in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritages, and a definite culture-vulture moment.

    11 AYE ME HEARTIES IS YOUR SIGNATURE STATEMENT, suitable for any situation where you need to show excitement, or agreement or anything at all, really. Said in your best pirate-speak, of course.

    1 2 YOU KNOW HOW TO HULA. Hula Hula Beach Bar that is! Say aloha to one of Croatias most popular beach bars and party with the other cool-kids as the sun sets.

    1 3 YOU LOVE MAKING NEW FRIENDS, and then staying in touch with your new #besties to plan your next trip. Thank Zucks for Facebook!

  • DCOLD WAR CUISINE

    ITS ALL ABOUT THE MEAT AND POTATOES. And lots of cheese. Tempered by years of communist rule, Eastern European cuisine is known for simple, yet hearty comfort food and robust flavours. Start with classics like goulash and borscht;

    then dig a bit deeper and youll find scrumptious street food and

    plenty of gastronomical glasnost. Your must-do foodie list includes street stall Lngos in Hungary, stuffing yourself on pierogis (Polands response to gyoza) and

    the best thing since sliced bread: the Smaen Sr fried cheese

    sandwich. Czech it out.

    PARIS PICNIC FIRST THOUGHT: OMG IM IN PARIS. Second thought: Im hungry. Stack up on fresh baguettes, cheese and pats as we kick things off with a gourmet picnic beside the Eiffel Tower. This is the

    bread and butter of French cuisine, which means a lot since they pretty much invented cooking. Chomp down some macarons or Instagram yourself eating your first frogs leg. You have arrived.

    MY KITCHEN RULES: ITALY

    IF YOURE LOOKING FOR SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS, YOURE IN THE WRONG PLACE. In fact, Italians are still wondering about who this Alfredo guy is and why tourists are asking about him. Think regional and go to Tuscany to find out what tomatoes

    really taste like, discover the pizza and pastry scene of Rome and hit up Venice for a primer in risottos, scallops, scampi and cuttlefish. The old rules still apply: avoid English menus, menus

    with pictures and long menus. Delizioso!

    FIESTAS & SIESTAS

    EAT, SLEEP, REPEAT. Food coma is a Spanish institution and no one will sneer at you for taking a well-deserved nap after lunch. Lick off plates of tapas and Iberian ham in Madrid or hit up

    Barcelona for epic stacks of freshly caught seafood. If you want to blend in, swap your jug of sangria for a red wine and coke, the best unlikely drink mix to hit the streets since avocado coffee

    (yep, its a thing). Nom nom nom.

    Eat, Sleep, RepeatFOOD COMAnoun/fd km/The feeling of utter, smug satisfaction and sleepiness, that one feels after eating their way through Europe for a few weeks. Common causes include baguettes, cheese, goulash, stacks of pasta and crepes.

    DAY 1 ROME, ITALY. Channel your inner Tom Ford and work it as we check out the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum. Cue jealous Facebook friends.

    DAY 2 ROME. Free day. Fake it til you make it with an espresso and sunglasses at Caffe Farnese, do some people watching and hit the market at Campo de' Fiori to cheese out like nobodys watching. Winner. (B,D)

    DAY 3 ITALY TO GREECE (OVERNIGHT FERRY). Play connect-the-dots with the stars or let the swell rock you to sleep as we ferry from Bella Italia to Greece. You have arrived. In every sense of the word. (B)

    DAY 4-6 CORFU. Home to a World Heritage-listed Old Town, a Fortress, a Castle and enough beaches to satisfy the biggest sun-worshipper; Corfu is base camp for the next three days. Set sail with an optional day on the open sea or explore architecture which owes much to Corfus tumultuous history. (B,D) (B) (B,D)

    DAY 7 TIRANA, ALBANIA. This former communist capital is the architectural equivalent of the colour run. After decades of communist rule, grey is no longer an option. Kick off with a driving tour and a group dinner. (B,D)

    DAY 8 TIRANA TO DUBROVNIK, CROATIA. On to the most famous walled city in Europe (nope, not history. See: Game of Thrones). Wander tiny cobblestoned streets and explore hidden cafs and shops before we refuel with a plateful of Greek-Italian fusion. (B,D)

    DAY 9 DUBROVNIK. It ended sadly for Ned Stark, but youve got other plans. Talk to us about another eight days sailing the Croatian islands. (B)

    This is a part of the 17 Day Mediterranean Horizons trip. See p.22 or visit our website.

    DAY 1 DUBROVNIK, CROATIA. Lord Byron called it the pearl of the Adriatic. Thats an understatement. Join your fellow #topdeckers today for a walking tour around the city you may know as Kings Landing. (D)

    DAY 2 DUBROVNIK TO SARAJEVO, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. Like a phoenix from the ashes, Sarajevo has rebuilt from its tragic past to be a buzzing, bohemian city. (B,D)

    DAY 3 SARAJEVO TO HVAR, CROATIA. By ferry to Croatias most beautiful island today. Set your watch to island time, explore the old town and watch the sun set over the Adriatic Sea. Dinners included. (B,D)

    DAY 4 HVAR. Free day. Swim, sunbathe, chill out on the beach or hit the foodie trail. The town market is full of fresh produce ripe to explore (pun intended). Still hungry? (B)

    DAY 5 HVAR TO LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA. Aka the Prague of Slovenia. Ljubljana wont be off the beaten track for long. Think fairytale castle, dragons and medieval vibes with a funky edge. Eat: cottage cheese and tarragon pancakes. (B)

    DAY 6 LJUBLJANA TO VENICE, ITALY VIA POSTOJNA CAVES. More technicolor landscapes as we round the tip of the Adriatic to Venice. Get your first taste of Italy with an included dinner tonight. (B,D)

    DAY 7 VENICE. With >400 bridges, island hopping just got a whole lot easier. Criss-cross your way around the city maze, check out the sights and discover the history of lace, one of Venices best known exports. (B)

    DAY 8 VENICE TO FLORENCE. Florence rocks. The Duomo, the Ponte Vechhio, and the Piazzale Michelangelo are a good start. Then: a leather demo and epic food. (B,D)

    DAY 9 FLORENCE TO ROME. Arrivederci is Italian for well see you again. Talk to us about your next adventure today. (B)
