Thinking of taking a solo trip but not sure where to start? Solo travel is gaining popularity among all age groups, and many find it life-changing. Any slight nerves are quickly overcome when connecting with others and the excitement of just doing it. The experience can be profound during and after a solo trip, with solo travellers saying that they gained more confidence and independence, made new friends with similar interests, gained clarity about themselves and have so much appreciation for the places they have seen.
There has been significant growth in this travel style, leading many cruise lines and suppliers to offer reduced or zero single supplements for those venturing alone. There are so many ways to enjoy the experience without feeling isolated.
Join a small group tour
Joining a pre-arranged tour is an excellent option, striking the perfect balance between independence and support. Choosing a premium guided holiday with an established company ensures your safety and provides opportunities for meaningful connections, so you can enjoy your independence without loneliness. Plus, you gain access to exclusive experiences often unavailable to individual travellers. With 24/7 support and every detail taken care of, solo travel becomes stress-free and enjoyable. Solo traveller holidays attract people from around the world, giving you the chance to connect with like-minded travellers and create lifelong memories. Flexible accommodation options cater to your preferences: you can share a room with a gender-matched traveller and pay the twin-share price, or opt for a single room, sometimes with an additional supplement. Either way, the experience is designed to suit your needs while ensuring comfort and connection. The team at QUAY can help you find the perfect group tour or itinerary to suit your interests anywhere in the world.

How about an ocean or river cruise
The thought of cruising alone might seem intimidating at first, but the reality is that millions of solo travellers enjoy cruising every year! With more cruise lines now offering single-occupancy cabins and better discounts, replacing the hefty surcharges that once discouraged solo adventurers, cruising has never been more accessible for solo travellers. Cruises are an ideal holiday option for those travelling alone, offering a safe, hassle-free way to explore the world while staying entertained and meeting new people. Solo cruise fares are available on many of the cruise lines with 'singles' parties, reduced single supplements, 'meet a new friend over a glass of champagne' events on board and so much more. Contact our QUAY master cruise experts to discuss the myriad of options and they will find the right cruise for you.
