You could go alone in 2025, or you could join a group trip. Not any group trip. An awesome never-gonna-forget-it group trip with Topdeck.  

Here’s your 5 reasons why: 

 

1. Social connections 

Make friends while traveling. One of them may end up becoming someone you can’t imagine life without. A future bestie or partner. The people who join our trips want the same social travel experiences as you do and we’re happy to provide. Cos it’s our job to specialise in group travel for Gen Z … but don’t take our word for it. See it for yourself. Sneak peek here 👇

 

 

 

 

2. Hassle-free planning 

The last thing you wanna do on a trip is worry about logistics. Unless you’re a Type A planner lover, you’re probs more interested in experiencing the experiences rather than planning them. One of the top Topdeck trip benefits is providing organised group tours. Meaning? Stress-free group travel for you. Let’s get into it: 

  • Your Inclusions = sorted. That’s accommodation, activities, transport, selected meals and more.
  • Expert Trip Leaders and road-savvy drivers. They’ve got allll the know-how and top recs.
  • No hidden costs during the trip. What you pay for, you get. 

 

 

 

3. Memorable group experiences 

Shared travel adventures are the vibe for 2025. Why go alone when you can have memorable group experiences with newfound friends? These shared experiences help you make real connections. Ideas? Getting lost in a city and navigating new areas 🗺️. Waking up super early for the bus (mates who are tired together, stay together) 🚌. Seeing an iconic site for the very first time – Eiffel Tower all lit up, anyone? ✨  

 

 

 

 

4. Budget-friendly group tours 

We know you know there’s a crisis going on and maybe the last thing on your mind (but first in your dreams 💭) is booking an awesome Europe trip. We’re here to make that dream a reality – with our affordable travel for young Australians. From 7-day adventures to 47-day trips, there’s a group tour that’ll hit your budget.  

That being said, we understand people have different circumstances which is why we also have Topdeck deals…  

… like the current sale! Save $2,500 on selected Get Social and Play & Pause trips until 11 Feb*. That’s a pretty sweet deal to kickstart the year.   

 

 

 

5. 2025 travel trends

We have our own travel trend for 2025 – make real connections. Whether that’s with yourself, with other people or with the destinations you visit. In a world of connecting through phones, sometimes all we really need is some IRL contact. Other travel trends include: 

  • Noctourism. Seeing things at night during your shared travel adventures. Northern Lights on Delve Deep: Iceland, anyone? 🌌
  • Holiday romances. Everyone’s feeling pretty burnt out from dating apps. Ghosting, catfishes and a lack of real connection, people are looking to meet potential partners on a trip. Answer: Topdeck trips for Aussies! Everyone’s welcome though, obvs. We’ve hosted heaps of meet-cutes over the years, like Siobhan and Lachlan. Will you meet your person in 2025? 👀💖
  • Longer trips. This is how you make those real connections. There’s nothing wrong with a cheeky weekend away, but longer trips allow for more time, gaining a deeper understanding of culture and sparking conversations that don’t just cover small talk 🫶
  • Popular group travel destinations. While lesser-known places are on the rise, group travel destinations like Rome, Tokyo and LA are still firm favourites. We’ve got trips which cover these and more iconic cities just like them. See all trips here 🌍
