Solo Travellers
It takes an independent and adventurous spirit to explore the world on your own, and those who try it often find it incredibly rewarding. Whether you are travelling alone or with a group, being a ‘solo’ traveller has some great benefits!
Beholden to no one’s wishes, expectations, or schedules but your own, you’re free to follow your passions wherever (and whenever!) they take you.
Travelling solo can be one of the most enriching experiences in life. It offers you the freedom to explore at your own pace, dive deep into your interests, and immerse yourself fully in the cultures you encounter. However, if you’ve ever tried booking a tour or a cruise on your own, you might have noticed something called a “single supplement” that can make your solo adventure a bit more expensive. Let’s break down what a single supplement is, why it exists, and how you can navigate it to make the most of your travels.
Single Supplements
Single supplements are quite common in the travel industry, but the good news is more companies are recognising the growing number of solo travellers and are starting to offer more flexible pricing options.
Options As a Solo and Solo Women Travellers
We are seeing more and more women travel independently and we have more and more options to share.
Most of the tours we represent aren’t women only or solo only options but some have attracted many solo travllers in recent times. Including but not only those featured below:
- The Great Gardens of Italy Small Group Tour is nearly all women.
- Local Tour of Puglia is usually half and half. No solo supplements.
