Something New Is Coming from Topdeck
Topdeck is getting ready to unveil a new collection of trips, with new adventures being revealed every few days from 12 August.
Designed for travellers aged 18–32, these trips focus on smaller groups, more time in each destination and experiences that go beyond simply ticking off the sights. Expect the freedom to explore independently, plenty of opportunities to connect with local life and a group of like-minded travellers to share the journey with.
Why Travel with Topdeck?
Small Groups
Topdeck groups are capped at just 18 travellers, creating a more relaxed and social way to travel while making it easier to access local experiences along the way.
More Time to Explore
Rather than rushing from one destination to the next, Topdeck allows 48–72 hours in key cities and two or more nights in most destinations. That means more time to discover neighbourhoods, find favourite local spots and explore at your own pace.
Designed for 18–32 Year Olds
Travel alongside people at a similar stage of life, creating an easy way to meet new people and share memorable experiences along the way.
More Included Experiences
Trips feature meals at local restaurants, included activities and a standout “Hot Feature” unique to each itinerary, helping you experience more without having to organise everything yourself.
Smarter Ways to Travel
Topdeck uses a mix of efficient transport options to reduce unnecessary travel time and maximise time spent experiencing each destination.
Quality Accommodation
Stay in central locations with twin, double and single room options available. Depending on the itinerary, accommodation can also include memorable stays such as treehouses and igloos.
With more new trips set to be announced throughout August, there’s plenty more to come from Topdeck.
New trip releases begin 12 August for a limited period.

Big Changes to Topdeck – Smaller Groups, Stronger Connections
We’ve made exciting changes to Topdeck that bring even more value to every trip. These updates are designed to make group travel more authentic, immersive, and rewarding.
Smaller Groups
From now on, every trip has a maximum of 18 people.
Why? Because smaller groups mean:
More authentic local dining (think tiny tavernas in Greece or hidden trattorias in Rome)
Easier access to unique experiences like a walk-and-taste tour in Berlin or cooking classes in Italy
A smoother, less stressful travel experience at landmarks and popular sites
Data shows:
68% prefer groups of up to 20 people
66% say landmarks are better with smaller groups
64% say smaller groups = less stressful travel
New Age Range
Trips are now strictly for those aged 18–32 (no exceptions).
Why? Because travellers told us they want to share experiences with people closer to their own life stage.
That means:
Stronger connections
More shared experiences
Friendships that often last long after the trip ends
Topdeck is now better than ever, smaller groups, more meaningful travel, and adventures designed for travellers who want to experience the world together.
