Solo Holidays

If your friends and family are too busy to join you on that dream holiday, then why not experience one of our solo traveller holidays to explore the world and meet new friends in the process? When you join us on any one of our single traveller holidays, we take care of all the planning, including return flights, transfers, accommodation and excursions in the company of an expert local guide; so, you can spend more time enjoying the destination.

There's nothing like travel for breaking down barriers and bringing people together. When you take one of our holidays, you can travel solo, but you won't be alone. As part of our solo travel groups, you will travel with a like-minded group of people, sharing wonderful experiences, creating memories that will last forever.

For our independent female travellers, you will have peace of mind that wherever in the world we visit, safety is paramount, and our local guides will be there to help should you need any assistance. Bookings for solo holidays for over 50s are steadily growing and this trend is likely to continue.

Remember, if our solo dates do not suit, we have many solo travellers joining us on our regular tours so do check them too. If you have any queries regarding Travel Department solo holidays, see our FAQs below for more information.

Why join one of our solo travel groups?

Travel Solo, But Not Alone

There's nothing like travel for breaking down barriers and bringing people together. On our group holidays, you can travel solo, but you will never be alone. You’ll travel with a group of like-minded people, sharing wonderful experiences and creating memories that will last forever. At the start of our trip, a ‘welcome’ drink or meal is always included, so you’ll be able to meet people straight away. We’ll also have plenty of leisure time to venture out with our newfound friends to see more incredible sights.

The Best Locations

We offer Solo Traveller holidays to some of the world’s best destinations including European favourites Italy and Germany as well as exotic locations like China and India. Whether you’re looking for a City Break to Prague, a getaway to the Algarve Coast or a River Cruise along the Nile, we’re sure to have something that suits your taste. Join us as we explore the jewels of the Kremlin on a trip to Russia or take in the highlights of the Salvador Dali’s artwork on a trip to Barcelona.

Perfectly Planned Holidays For Over 50s

We’ve been planning holidays for solo travellers for over 25 years, so it’s safe to say we know what makes a great tour. We’ll do the thinking, the planning and the checking, letting you skip the search for the best routes or accommodation and focus on what really matters, embarking on the trip of a lifetime. Whether you’re interested in taking a River Cruise on the Danube, a trip to the vineyards of South Africa or a beach holiday to Malta, we’ll take care of all the arrangements.

Insights From Expert Guides

On each of our Solo Traveller holidays, we’ll be accompanied by a local, expert guide who is ready to help us uncover a wealth of knowledge at our destination. Offering unique insights that aren’t found in a guidebook; our local experts will help enrich our journey and unlock some hidden gems as well as the iconic sights. Our guides will also provide us with tips and recommendations based on individual interests for what to do during any free time.

They’ll also offer suggestions and tips based on your interests, so we get the most out of our leisure time.
