Can I join DECADES if I’m travelling solo?

Yes — most of our travellers come solo. We carefully build a small group of 8 likeminded individuals, with the option to share a room or upgrade to a private one.

Is DECADES only for UK residents?

For now, our trips are designed for UK-based travellers, with departures from London and support tailored to UK citizens. That said, we're open to expanding and welcome votes for future routes.

How much does it cost?

The full 3-month programme starts at £17,995 per person for a shared room. Early bird pricing is available at £15,295 until 31st May. Private rooms are available at £24,870, or £21,095 with early bird pricing.

Overview

Join us in Southeast Asia for the first-ever DECADES Gap Year Chapter – a three-month journey designed for adventurous retirees ready to experience the world on their terms. We’ll be spending one month in Vietnam, one month in Cambodia, and one month in Thailand, embracing a slower, more immersive approach to travel.

You’ll join 8-12 other like-minded retired or almost-retired voyagers, all seeking a balance of cultural discovery, personal exploration, and shared experiences.

Once you pay this deposit, you’ll receive an email with an application form. Please complete this over the next few days. We’ll then confirm your place. If your application is not successful for this Chapter, the deposit is 100% refundable.
