At Costsaver we cover all the essentials and give you the flexibility to tailor your trip your way. Our expert teams have curated a number of Choice Optional Experiences that you can choose from to enhance your trip. Simply look out for these listed in the itinerary on the trip page, when you register at My Costsaver or in your booking documentation.

Travelling with Costsaver is simple! Pre booking your Choice Optional Experiences is not necessary before you travel. This is all done on a trip directly with your Travel Director, giving you the flexibility to choose your trip enhancements when you are in destination.

Our amazing Travel Directors come from a range of backgrounds but they all share a deep passion for travel and their home countries. These experienced travel professionals offer you what the guidebooks can’t – a true insider’s perspective of each place you visit. Each Travel Director has undertaken a bespoke training program and most have at least five years’ experience in guided travel.

If you prefer the privacy of your own room, you can opt for our single traveller supplement. The cost will depend on the trip and departure date, and can be found in the pricing section of the itinerary page. On many departures, you can enjoy single room upgrades or reduced single supplements.

If you’d rather not incur an additional expense, consider our single traveller room share option. We’ll accommodate you with a fellow guest of the same gender, on a twin-bed basis.
