Hi, Senior!
We're EF Ultimate Break, and we specialize in safe, stress-free, oh-my-god-that-was-awesome group travel for 18-35-year-olds. We know you were psyched for your originally scheduled tour, but we know we have a trip you'll love just as much.
The easiest way to travel for anyone 18-35.
We take care of everything: flights, transportation, hotels, daily breakfasts, and you'll have an expert Tour Director with you the whole time. If you prefer a tour with an Educational Tours Ambassador or staff member for additional support, see our EF tours for High School Graduates →
Safety first. Then wanderlust.
As part of EF, we have a global network of offices in over 50 countries with support teams available 24/7-365. And we're following all safe travel guidelines established by the World Travel & Tourism Council, health organizations, and global government agencies.
120+ handcrafted trips and expert itineraries.
Swagger like Socrates through ancient Greece. Spot monkeys and sloths in Costa Rica. Find your Zen at a Japanese temple. And so. Much. More.
Go solo or with friends.
Either way, you’ll leave with a bunch of new friends—and kiss your comfort zone goodbye.
Ultimate Flexibility.
Change details of your trip (like the date, airport, or even the destination itself) at no extra charge—up to 99 days before departure.
Adventures to every corner of the globe
We know, globes don’t have corners. But we’re gonna keep exploring just to be sure.

A taste of the experience
Close your eyes and imagine it. Or better yet, just check out these photos from real travelers.
As an 18-year-old traveling with Ultimate Break, I didn't really know what to expect, but I can now say it was one of the best decisions of my life. I had so much fun and the trip was even better than I imagined! The trip is well planned and there is a perfect balance of planned activities/tours and free time. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Or, to book online, select your itinerary and date and then click “Book Now.” Enter your traveler information and select your optional excursions, rooming options, and whether you want trip protection.

Each traveler needs to book their own trip (see “How do I book a tour?”). In the Rooming Options section of the checkout, each traveler should indicate the other travel companion(s) name(s) in the Roommate field. Please note that Standard Rooming is all same sex. If travelers want to share a room with travelers of another sex, they will need to request the Twin or Double Room upgrade. Once each individual has completed their booking, we also recommend you inform your Trip Expert via phone, email or chat of your travel companions so they can confirm it has been noted in your account for Flight purposes as well.
If you're traveling with two or more friends, you're all eligible for group discounts. The savings go higher the more friends your group has! Learn more here.
Your voucher can be applied to the tour cost, optional excursions, rooming upgrades and trip protection. If your voucher amount is more than the full trip cost, the difference will remain on your voucher with the same terms and conditions.

If your trip is within 60 days, you will need to pay the remaining difference in full. Once we have applied your voucher our team will reach out to you for payment or to enroll you on the payment plan.
