When it comes to picking the perfect Topdeck trip style, the variety on offer ensures there’s something for every type of traveller. Whether you’re a social butterfly, a culture connoisseur, or someone who just wants to chill by the sea, there’s a trip style that speaks directly to you.
You could take the handy quiz on the website to match yourself with the right trip, but let’s be honest—it’s probably going to be pretty clear which category you fall into.
Get Social
If you’re all about making new friends and embracing the full-on, fast-paced experience, Get Social is right up your alley. Picture a big group of like-minded travellers, ready to dive into multi-destination trips across Europe, Asia, North America, and New Zealand. You’ll be ticking off the biggest sights, but without the headache of figuring out logistics.
With hostel stays and a group size that can hit up to 48, it’s perfect if you thrive in high-energy environments. You’ll have a dedicated Trip Leader to organise group activities, and there’s always enough free time to explore at your own pace. You’re never alone in this adventure—there are welcome and farewell group dinners, plus brekkie included some mornings, making it as hassle-free as it is fun.
Play & Pause
Maybe you want the best of both worlds—seeing the sights, but with more time to slow down and do things your way. Enter Play & Pause. This style is all about balance. The group size is smaller (around 22 on average), so it’s more intimate than the Get Social trips, but still packed with activities. Expect twin-share private accommodation with en suite bathrooms, meaning you can enjoy the day with your new travel crew and then retreat for some personal space when you need it.
Whether you’re in Europe or Asia, these trips strike the perfect mix of planned sightseeing and free time to explore on your own. You’ll also get those handy inclusions like welcome and farewell dinners, with the bonus of extra meals on some days.
Delve Deep
Delve Deep is for the traveller who wants more than just sightseeing—they want to live and breathe the culture of a destination. Smaller groups (around 14 people) make it easier to bond with fellow travellers and connect with local experiences in a more meaningful way. This is where you’ll find yourself staying in quirky, immersive places like floating bungalows, desert camps, and sleeper trains.
The focus is very much on diving into the heart of the culture, and the food experiences are just as memorable as the places you visit. Expect street food tours, visits to local markets, and even dance shows—all guided by local Trip Leaders who are experts on the destination. These trips are perfect for the deep-dive adventurers headed to regions like Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
Sail & Swim
Maybe you’re dreaming of sun, sea, and laid-back vibes. Sail & Swim delivers just that. Picture cruising the coasts of Croatia, Greece, or Turkey with a group size ranging from 16 to 30, depending on the boat. Days are spent sailing, swimming, and exploring ancient cities, with a Trip Leader making sure your adventure flows smoothly.
You’ll be staying in twin or double cabins, complete with en suite facilities, and if you love a good meal, you’ll be well looked after here with daily breakfasts and lunches included—plus welcome and farewell meals to boot. It’s all about that relaxed, sun-soaked lifestyle, with a side of fun socialising and exploring stunning coastal locations.
Finding Your Fit
So, which one sounds like your vibe? Whether you’re a social butterfly who thrives on meeting new people or someone who wants to delve deep into local cultures, Topdeck has a trip style that’s perfect for you. And hey, if you’re still not sure, give that quiz a go—you might be surprised how spot-on it is at figuring out your ideal adventure!
