You can also save when three people travel together and share accommodations. Refer to the itinerary pages for the specific reduction per tour.

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
