Customized Air Travel: Round The World
Adventure Travel Company's Round the World (RTW) fares are the cheapest and best way to explore the globe
Unlike most RTW tickets, which are based on complicated continent and mileage pricing plans, our à la carte approach can save you thousands of dollars because you only have to pay for the flights you want to take! Our exclusive deals allow you to create an unforgettable journey at the fraction of the cost of regular RTW trips. Here are some of the benefits of planning your adventure with Adventure Travel Company.
Value for Money
Because we have an à la carte approach to booking round the world travel, you only have to pay for the flights you want!
Stopovers
ATC Travel Experts are always looking to get you the most bang for your buck with our Round the World trips which is why we will discuss stopover options during your trip planning.
A stopover is when you stay over 24 hours in a city that you would otherwise just be changing planes in, and best of all they are often free!
Ground Options
Clouds all look the same from 30,000 feet in the air which is why we suggest you consider overland and overwater options to ensure you have the best experiences as you cross the globe. Rail travel, small group adventure tours, bus passes and cruises are just a few of the ways you can make the most out of your trip.
Feeling adventurous? How about transcontinental trek across Africa or South America, or aboard a ship for Antarctica!
Seasons
Airline pricing fluctuates based on the time of year, which means prices are often more expensive during summer and around holidays when more people want to fly. Travelling outside of the "high season" period can often save you hundreds in airfare, not to mention much shorter lines at attractions and cheaper hotel and hostel prices. Speak with an ATC Travel Expert to decide if low season travel is right for you.
Circle Trips
We understand that not everyone has the time it takes to circumnavigate the globe, which is why our à la carte pricing and large airline selection is ideal for those that just want to hit a one or two continents before returning home. Popular circle trips include Canada-South America-Africa-Canada and Canada-Asia-Australia-Canada.
Support
Adventure Travel Company is always here to help, especially since we have branches located on or near university campuses!
