Luckily, there are plenty of travel companies that cater to solo travelers to make planning stress-free. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best companies for every budget and travel preference to support your wanderlust—including our top picks for women-only and solo parent travel.

Best Experience : Exodus Travels

Traveling solo on an Exodus Travels group trip means access to self-guided and guided excursions around the world for every type of traveler. Choose a walking wine holiday in Portugal or explore Egypt via cruise boat and sleeper train, for example. Additionally, its Exodus Edits collection offers shorter itineraries of up to five days and is geared towards travelers in their 30s and 40s—though they’re ideal for anyone looking for more vigorous activity such as ziplining and surfing in Costa Rica or sampling street eats and beach hopping in Sicily. 

There is no single supplement fee when you room with a fellow traveler, and chances are you may end up with your own room anyway. Booking a travel itinerary with UK-based Exodus Travels includes a full refund should the company need to cancel your trip and a complimentary trip transfer to another tour or different person up to 21 days before the scheduled trip. Plus, travelers who book their third or more trips with Exodus receive a 5 percent discount on their next booking.

What’s more, the company works to curate trips that align with a number of United Nations sustainable development goals including goals for responsible consumption and production, empowering local communities, and climate action considerations. Exodus Travels (founded in 1974) was awarded Best Operator in National Geographic Traveller’s sixth annual Reader Awards in 2021.

Best for Ages 35-50 : El Camino Travel

Courtesy of Encounter Travel

According to El Camino Travel ’s founder, Katalina Mayorga, elder millennials are their strongest customer base. That means if you were born between 1980 and 1985 approximately, you’ll find yourself among curious, like-minded solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in destinations like Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, and the Eastern European nation of Georgia. Some trips even add a professional photographer to capture shareable shots so you can remain in the moment.

All of El Camino’s guided, small group trips max out at 12 participants. They’re also curated with an ethos of preserving and protecting local culture, the environment, and communities. For example, some of their partners include the Environmental Research Institute Charlotteville in Tobago and La Sierra Artist Residency in Santa Marta, Colombia.

Best Sustainable : G Adventures

Courtesy of Intrepid Travel

G Adventures is particularly known for its sustainable, responsible ethos. The company works with small, locally-owned hotels and operators to ensure your travel dollars benefit the community you’re visiting; outlines policies around child and animal welfare practices; aims to reduce single-use plastics, and works to ensure experiences taking place in Indigenous communities align with community goals.

Founded in 1990, G Adventures specializes in small group adventure tours to a host of destinations from Asia to South America and Africa to the Arctic. Nearly half of the travelers on every trip are flying solo, and there’s no single supplement if you choose to bunk with a same-sex roommate. Or, select your own room for a fee. 

A Chief Experience Officer leads each group tour and itineraries are searchable by travel style. For example, find wellness-centric trips like nine days of daily yoga, visits to Hindu temples, and partake in traditional healing ceremonies in Bali. Or travel with their partner, National Geographic, for an exclusive guided tour of South Africa’s Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and a visit to Soweto township in Johannesburg, the home of Nelson Mandela. 

G Adventures partnered with hostel booking service Hostelworld in 2021 to launch its Roamies itineraries. Its combination of backpacking and organized travel itineraries includes countries like Albania, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Vietnam. The trips are marketed to 18- to 35-year-olds, though like-minded individuals keen on budget travel and communal environments may enjoy these trips, too.

Best for True Solo Travel : Black Tomato

Courtesy of G Adventures

Black Tomato specializes in bespoke luxury travel experiences. For those interested in traversing around the world solo and willing to pay a premium for tailored itineraries, its adventurous or culturally immersive experiences may just be your ticket.

Your travels might look like hiking and biking in Patagonia, embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage through Bhutan and India, chasing glaciers and geysers in Iceland, or learning to cook Georgia and Armenia’s local dishes or Japan’s regional cuisine.

In 2017, Black Tomato launched its Get Lost adventure travel experience. With the support of a dedicated team, and without prior knowledge of where they're headed, Get Lost participants will find their way home from an undisclosed location. The location is selected based on a pre-travel questionnaire about which environment clients would like to immerse themselves in. Then, they show up at the airport and the adventure begins.

Best for Ages 25-39 : For The Love of Travel

Courtesy of Contiki

With 80 percent of individuals traveling with For The Love of Travel jet -setting solo, each trip is packed with opportunities to meet fellow Millennial and Gen Z travel enthusiasts. For example, within your small “crew” of up to 14 people, make new friends doing snow sports and unwinding in saunas in Lapland or devouring tacos and sipping mezcal in Mexico City. Trips range from four to nine days, including weekends in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain wilderness or an extended weekend in Costa Rica where you’ll hike through rainforests, relax in hammocks, and hike, bike, or surf.

According to company feedback, the average FTLOT traveler is 30 years old and interested in meeting new people while traveling . The company bills itself as a mid-range travel company, where “​​we might stay in a more basic hotel for a couple of nights so we can include a Michelin-worthy meal and a private catamaran ride.” 

In 2022, FTLOT plans to offer at least 10 new itineraries including to Belize, Turkey, and Spain’s Basque Country. And for those with the flexibility, the company launched Sojrn in 2021 featuring month-long, themed stays in destinations like Cape Town—focused on biodiversity—and a fashion-oriented stay in Paris.

FTLOT requires an initial deposit and allows installment payments if not paid in full.

Best for 50+ : Overseas Adventure Travel Rates

Courtesy Flash Pack

Overseas Adventure Travel is primarily aimed at American travelers aged 50 and over. It offers guided itineraries to worldwide destinations, including Africa, Antarctica, Asia, and the South Pacific, with trips ranked by activity level and accompanied by a list of physical requirements to help select an itinerary that is best suited for you. For example, their Japan and South Korea itinerary advise that participants be able to carry their own luggage as the selected hotels do not have porter service.

Some of Overseas Adventure Travel’s most popular trips include 17 days of wending the Adriatic from Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina (think a walking tour in Dubrovnik, sampling traditional Bosnian food in Sarajevo, and exploring the countryside near Zagreb). On another popular trip, you spend 15 days traveling through Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, ending in Helsinki, Finland. All trips offer pre-and post-itinerary extensions, and either waive the single supplement entirely or offer a discount on a private room.

The company offers a free Roommate Matching Program which helps you find a like-minded, same-sex roommate. If they can’t find a match, your single supplement is deducted. Small group sizes typically average 13 travelers.

Overseas Adventure Travel won the Solo Travel Award for Best Tour in 2017 and 2018, thanks in large part to its policy of offering a limited number of single spaces for each itinerary.

Best Female : Wild Women Expeditions

Courtesy of Overseas Adventure Travel

It began as an all-women, Canada-based canoe tripping company in 1991, and Wild Women Expeditions is perfect for boundary-pushing women who want to travel independently and enjoy the safety and support of an organized tour. The company also prioritizes hiring female tour leaders and on-the-ground guides. It offers outdoor adventures for women of all ages and identities and with a range of physical abilities (“whether your greatest skill is tracking a storm or talking up a storm, summiting mountains or summoning courage, keeping your kayak in line or coloring outside the lines,” as the company describes).

The company travels to 31 destinations around the world like Egypt, Tanzania, and the Azores islands. Itineraries are typically adventure-based and are filtered on their website by activity, with options ranging from sailing to cycling and horse riding. Imagine yourself sea kayaking and snorkeling in the Galapagos or scaling glaciers in Alaska. 

Most guests are solo travelers and there’s no single supplement to worry about as accommodation is typically in a shared room or cabin. Though if privacy is a priority, you can usually snag your own room for a nominal extra fee. Group sizes are kept small and social with between six and 14 women, depending on the itinerary you choose. The average group size is eight. 

Wild Women Expeditions also takes care to curate trips that avoid or minimize the disturbance of wildlife; supports environmental education and advocacy projects; and partners with social justice and women’s rights organizations.

Best for Solo Parent Travel : Intrepid Travel

Courtesy of Wild Women Expeditions

Intrepid ’s family-themed holidays welcome adults traveling with children, including solo parents looking to travel with their kids without the stress of planning and coordinating a trip. Since each family’s travel needs and preferences are different, every itinerary includes an “essential trip information” section where Intrepid outlines whether the trip would be a good fit for you and your kids, as well as a physical rating from least to more strenuous activities. 

For example, an itinerary through part of the Amazon Jungle in Peru advises the jungle can be very hot and humid, and that the weather can be unpredictable in the Andes. On the other hand, an 11-day trip to Borneo island in Southeast Asia lists a minimum age of 5 and outlines a range of accommodations from hotels to guesthouses and jungle camps; on a few occasions, travel times between destinations range between four to five hours. Trips to Costa Rica, Tanzania, China, and Morocco are also listed.

Individuals under 17 years typically receive a 10 percent discount, and the company requires that adults have at least one child under 18 years traveling with them. As part of Intrepid’s commitment to responsible travel, itineraries support initiatives surrounding sustainability and conservation, climate education, and preservation of Indigenous culture.

There was something so special about travelling with a group of people with the same mindset and willingness to adventure.

• Don't travel too far from the group, let someone know where you're going, or better still, invite one of your new friends and fellow travelers to join you.
• Be vigilant when exploring a new place, especially in busy and unfamiliar areas.
• Learn a little of the local language or packing a phrasebook - this will help you to get the most out of your vacation too, and locals always appreciate the effort!

Holidays for Singles 40 & Above

Short a travel buddy and don’t want to travel alone.

Maybe you were a backpacker in your twenties, or even pushing it out to your 30's. Or perhaps you've passed the milestone of 40 with travel memories yet to create.

Where-ever you find yourself, now it's your chance to travel solo for the first time.

IS SOMETHING HOLDING YOU BACK from your Dream Holiday?

The idea of (now) travelling alone isn’t your idea of a fun holiday, and you’re left wondering about the options for solo travellers over 40.

Travelling solo in your twenties or thirtes, isn’t the same daunting prospect compared to being over forty – backpacking is the norm or there’s the option to join touring companies like Contiki or Top Deck. But Contiki and Top Deck have a cut off age, and you’re no longer in their sights. How easy is it in your twenties?  – no end of options for finding travel buddies and meet other solo travellers along the way. In your 20’s plenty of travellers are still single – there’s lots of other ‘twenty somethings’ doing the same.

DWINDLING OPTIONS?

Friends not up for the same travel plans you have in mind, or the same passion? Or your circle of single friends has shrunk and you’re wondering your options for travel without a travel buddy?

GETTING STARTED

Wherever you are at with your travel plans, you definitely made some inroads as you got this far and you found us – Wow, a travel company for solo travellers fo over 40 year olds , perhaps is what you’re thinking.

We’ll, you’re right – you fit right in! Because, we only look after solo travellers.

Nice change to the other mainstream packages out there – ads loaded with images of the perfect couple touring Europe, or soaking up romantic moments at a tropical resort, and so on and so on…. tragically failing to show single travellers in the picture.

Find Your Travel Style

Not all solo travellers are the same, and that’s why we’ve created 6 travel styles to pick from

• 'Discovery' – leisure touring
• 'On The Go' - walking and adventure tours
• 'Marine' – ocean and river cruising
• 'Combo' - mixing it up with tour & cruise combination packages
• 'Relax' - chill out resort package
• 'Essentials' - mindful on the budget, without scrimping on value for money

Age Matched Groups

Most of our tours are created for single-solo travellers 40 years and over , with a mix of age groups offered;  40 years & over, 45 years & over, 50 years & over , 40 to 59 years, and there’s others.   And our Cruise Circle for Solos  cruise groups are best suited to cruise fans 40 years and over. Our age-matched groups have a proven track record, and you can read the countless testimonials from your fellow solo traveller.

25 Fantastic Singles Travel Groups You’ll Love

By: Author Amanda OBrien

Posted on Last updated: 04/04/2024

A few years ago there were hardly any single travel groups that offered options for holidays for one – let alone companies who entirely focused on solo departures and looked at things like no single supplements etc and solo travel groups.

Thank goodness for the growth in singles travelling as now there is a good economic reason for companies to look at developing great offers for those looking for holidays for one.

There are now singles travel groups over 30s, single travel for over 50, singles travel getaways, luxury solo travel tours and singles travel getaways galore.

I will let you know which of these tour companies I have traveled with and which I haven’t – if you then go and do a tour on one of the ones I haven’t been on please do let me know what they are like – and I would love you to write a guest post if you’re up for it.

There are so many options for solo traveling today – here are some great trips for single travelers.

BEST SOLO TOUR OPERATOR: Short on time? You can’t go wrong with Explore which has a section dedicated to solo travel on their website.

• 30 Singles Travel Groups

Table of Contents

Top 3 Companies for Organised Solo Travel Vacations

1. group tours for solo travellers, 2. solo female travelers club, 3. luxury single traveller vacations, 4. solo travel companies that are specifically for traveling alone, 5. companies that specialise in adventure, 6. cruises for solo travelers, 7. charity based solo travel companies, 8. passion-based solo travel tours, 9. something different for single travel groups, solo travel tips, 1. mix up your plans, 2. avoid school holidays, 3. fill up your kindle, frequently asked questions about solo travel, are there travel companies just for single people, what is the best holiday destination for singles, is solo travel lonely, how do i meet other female solo travelers, who paid for what with this singles travel groups post.

#1 TOP PICK

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Explore ✔️ Dedicated Solo Tours ✔️ Small Group Tours ✔️ No single supplement

G Adventures ✔️ No single supplement ✔️ Free time in itineraries ✔️ Evening Group Meals

Encounters Travel ✔️ Private & Small Group Focus ✔️ 20 Years Experience ✔️ Range of Tours

Explore is perhaps one of the best singles travel groups. It is also the company I have been a traveling single with the most so the best place to start! Explore has been running since 1981 so they have loads of experience with running tours.

Explore covers over 100 countries and has a maximum group size of 11 and there is no single supplement if you take a shared room. There is an option to have your own room but that does cost extra. They prioritize working with locals and do a great job finding expert guides.

Around 60% of people who go on Explore trips are traveling on their own and they break down solo vacations into age groups on their website which is really helpful.

My second recommendation for solo travel vacations is G Adventures . They have a wide range of small-group trips designed for the solo traveler. There is no single supplement as long as you are willing to share a room with someone of the same sex. G Adventures also offers single rooms at reasonable prices if that is your preference.

The itineraries for G Adventures trips tend to have more free time than some of the other tour companies in this article. This is great if you are someone that likes to have some time to yourself to relax or explore further but want the support and structure of an organised group trip.

One of the most difficult parts of solo travel can be dinner. Eating on your own can feel lonely and isolating. The tour leader organizes group meals most nights, so if you want company you will almost be able to find it.

If you are traveling alone one of the best ways not to feel like it is to join a group doing some challenge – when I summited Kilimanjaro on an organized solo tour. we were a team from almost the word go. More than half of the trip was traveling solo – some were single, some had partners who didn’t want to go, some like me had someone pull out last minute etc.

It didn’t matter who you had arrived with – what mattered was everyone wanted someone to talk to about whether or not to take Diamox, tips on altitude, share lollies, etc etc.

Check G Adventures Tours and Prices

Check Explore Tours and Prices

I have done two travel solo tours with friends – North India and cycling Southern Iceland . Again an activity-based trip can be a great travel for singles option – particularly as you tend to be exhausted every night and eat and sleep.

⇒ Don’t miss my Complete Guides to Singles Holidays over 40s – and Vacations for over 50 singles – these thorough guides have all of the most commonly asked questions about Solo Travel – and everything I have learned.

Want to join me on a small group female trip to Africa ? I am heading to Kenya in October on an 8 night safari with Walking Wild Africa and would love you to join me. It’s a unique mix of game drives, walking safari and some chill time. Make sure you tell Kim that you want to go on the tour with The Boutique Adventurer so she gets the right one!

⇒ Still not sure about group travel for singles? Check out this great post on The Benefits of Solo Trave l .

Solo Female Travelers Club is a community of more than 90,000, run by the fantastic travel bloggers Meg and Mar. The heart of the community is their Facebook group, which has some great information and is the perfect way to meet other females interested in traveling solo.

Meg and Mar also run female-only small group tours that range from luxury retreats to adventurous expeditions in some awesome locations.

One company I have been particularly keen to try but it just hasn’t worked out on timings and destinations is Flash Pack . I love the tone and feel of their website – it is very much about boutique adventures.

They focus on people in their 30s and 40s and seem to have some great travel groups for solo travelers.

Australian based Travelling Divas also promises boutique hotels and customized trips. I have also been very keen to try Cox and Kings solo holidays .

Cox and Kings have a great reputation as a high-end travel specialist so I am highly confident that the thread count on their sheets will be up to my standards based on how fantastic their hotels look.

These trips though will, of course, be at a premium to some of the other options I have mentioned. But their group travel singles options look terrific.

⇒ Looking for some travel inspiration? Check out this post on The Best Adventure and Travel Quotes .

⇒ Spas and skiing are terrific options for solo travelers. Check out my posts on the best Singles Ski Holiday options and on 30 Fabulous Solo Spa Breaks.

I would highly recommend that you think beyond the country you live in when it comes to solo travel groups. For example, quite a few travel companies based in Australia now run specific holidays for solo travel groups.

Encounter Travels is all about solo travel but not traveling alone as they say.

They also age match so if you are a 35-year-old solo traveler you won’t be in a group of people in their 70s. They do have quite a few trips to various parts of Australia but also a few trips to other places around the world.

Another solo travel company based in Australia is Twos a Crowd . Some UK based companies that specialize in solo travel groups are:

⇒ www.solosholidays.co.uk

⇒ www.justyou.co.uk

⇒ www.friendshiptravel.co.uk

For a more adventurous bent check out    8th-day adventures . They are a London based club that has lots of sporting events and other fun things that are a mix of social and activity.

They also run some group holidays which could be good for the more adventurous solo traveler eg Everest base camp

An interesting-sounding organization is Archaeo Adventures. This female-focused travel company looks at adventures in countries like Morocco and Jordan in small groups. They are about boutique hotels, working with locals, and off-the-beaten-track experiences.

Female-focused hosted adventure trips are also the focus of Living Big which is US-based. Another company specializing in solo travel groups USA is Overseas Adventure Travel , which offers some fantastic-sounding trips for adventurous solo travelers.

Heading to Australia there are Adventurous Women and Another World Adventures.  Another World Adventures curates adventures from different providers. It is a very comprehensive site with loads of options that sound great.

Even cruise ships have gotten on board with the growth in solo travel. Norwegian Cruise Line is the brand most commonly mentioned for having actually built single cabins and apparently there is a dedicated area for solo travelers.

They have several cruise brands – Norwegian Epic, Breakaway, Getaway, and Escape. But ensure you look closely as these can be more family-focused at certain times of the year – check out my top tip 2 below.

Encounter Travel also has loads of information on solo cruise options. They even have a “cabin mates wanted” section where you can potentially find another same-sex solo traveler with whom you can share a cabin.

There are a few organisations that run group tours that have some activity/challenge that supports a charity. These can be a great way to find others to travel with and the shared sense of purpose can surely add to the group bond.

Have a look at Global Adventure Challenges and Charity Challenge.

An organized trip around an activity you love that is also about solo travel is a fantastic formula to follow. Even if you don’t really bond with anyone on the trip if you have learned more about Italian cooking or photographing sea life it is a well-spent holiday.

Quite a few organizations I have listed above offer planned trips around passions and hobbies. Here are a few others I’ve found:

Frui has some fantastic looking passion-based trips – from photography (a great one for solo travel) to painting to food in some lovely locations. I did a day class with them once in London in photography and they were great.

The Red Sea in Egypt appears to be a very popular solo travel spot – most likely driven by the amount of activity that can be done in the water. There are also numerous diving and/or underwater photography courses in the area.

Skyros is a very famous spot in Greece for activity/passion-based trips. They used to have a bit of a self-help bent but now they are very focused on passions like painting, singing, yoga, and learning.

They have two locations in Greece and one on the Isle of Wight for taster weekends. According to their site, 70% of their travelers are between 40 and 60, and most travel solo. This is a great option if you’re looking for singles travel groups over 40.

In August 2017, I spent a month living life Unsettled in Medellin Colombia, and loved it. Unsettled is a fantastic concept. Essentially it aims to give people the experience of living in a city for a month rather than being a tourist.

It does this because it has about 25-30 people sign up, organizes apartments and coworking space and sets up activities that you can participate in as much or as little as you like.

The other people on the trip are your community, the hosts act as your connection to local life and having an apartment and workspace means it feels more like living.

They choose brilliant locations from Buenos Aires to Cape Town to Barcelona . I highly recommend checking them out.

If you decide to live life Unsettled then use the code “FRIENDSOFUNSETTLED”  and tell them that the Boutique Adventurer sent you for a discount of USD$150 .

A great way to travel solo is to mix things up. If you were heading to say Australia you could go and stay in a spa for a few days (a great way to meet people), head to say Sydney on your own and stay at a boutique hotel and use Tinder or join a meetup group.

You could then join an organized tour with someone like Explore, travel with them for a while, and then have some time solo again. Committing to a lengthy organized tour can be a bit much – plus it is hard to find one that covers everything that you want.

I find a mix is optimal – if you feel lonely it is only a few days till you have company, if you’re dying to be on your own again it’s only a few days till that happens. And you may very well meet others traveling alone on your organized section who are keen to have further adventures after the tour.

I have many friends I have met when traveling solo who become travel buddies and loads of other friends of mine are the same.

September is a great time to travel solo. Be careful of all organized tours/cruises etc during any school holiday time, particularly over the summer, as you may end up surrounded by families.

However, school has returned in September, and there are often many deals for solo travelers.

There is nothing like a good book to keep you company when traveling solo! I keep adding to my list – please email me with more suggestions! [email protected] .

I keep them all in my Amazon shop. And I have just launched a range of e-books aimed at solo travelers! I have an ebook on Solo Travel, my trip to Colombia with Unsettled and Everest Base Camp .

Yes! There are several travel companies just for single people as well as companies like G Adventures that offer trips designed for single travelers.

In my opinion, rather than focusing on a particular destination singles should look at holidays with a focus or goal like a cycling trip or a trek. This is most likely to bring together like-minded people and provide a common purpose.

It can be. The best way to avoid feeling lonely when traveling solo is to join an organised tour. Or if you are on your own look at staying in high-end hostels for some comfort and the chance to meet others. And a good book can transport you from any difficult situation! And don’t forget to check out things like the safest cities in the US to make sure you can relax during your trip.

There are several facebook groups for female solo travelers such as Solo Female Travelers (who also organise group trips for solo female travelers). I have also found that going to a spa/yoga retreat can be a good way to meet other female solo travelers.

I paid for everything associated with this post. This was completely me travelling and not working with any tourism boards or hotels or tour groups. Much of what is in this post is stuff I learned before I started my blog – and probably a lot of what led me to start a travel blog.

However, this singles travel groups post does contain affiliate links. That means that if you click through on them and make a purchase I may well receive a small commission. I just wanted to make sure that you knew.

Great ideas. I have done a lot of solo tour travel as I like the security of a tour when I am on my own. Some other companies:

Contiki is great for the 18-35s, especially when you haven't travelled much before.

My favourite company is G Adventures, no single supplement, but you can pay for your own room and a huge range of tours world wide. They are Canadian based. All ages, very budget and affordable.

Another one very similar to G Adventures but Australian based is Intrepid tours. World wide, budget, no single supplement but also has own room option if you don't want to share.

I have made life long friends on these tours when I was travelling solo. Now we meet up all over the world and do tours together!

Excellent tour. Our guide Robin, was very informative and had an entertaining flair. We went to a series of awe-inspiring viewpoints and did some wonderful hikes in what were referred to as “the mighty five” of Utah. An unforgettable trip with a terrific group of people and a very knowledgeable, gregarious guide.

Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City

I would like to add that the communication between tour radar and us was poor. No notice of change of first night hotel was passed on to us and the start n finish dates are not discussed AT all. It is really a 6 day tour not 8 day tour as advertised. Other than that Southwest Tours were fantastic it was tour radar that let us down.

• In-depth Cultural

Wild West – 5 days

Overall great trip and experience. Just one comment would be the Hotel on the second day could be improved.

Majestic Alaska (10 Days)

I cannot speak highly enough of this tour. Kris, our tour director, as well as our driver Rose and wellness director Tyler, were all friendly, knowledgeable, and excited to share Alaska with us. Kris is such a warm people-person and consistently went over and above to make this tour what it was, including staying up one night and waking those of us on his list who wanted to see the Northern Lights. The itinerary was no doubt well laid out, but Kris added so many special touches to support Alaskan businesses but also to provide us with extra opportunities to connect with local Alaskans and have the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible. September was a perfect time to experience this tour. My travel friend and I would highly recommend this trip.

Grand Canyon and More 3 day tour

Thank you guys for an incredible experience, I have just returned from the 3 day Grand Canyon and more trip and was over the moon with it. It is a fairly busy schedule but there was plenty of time to see everything and the guide was knowledgeable and informative. The Antelope canyon option is a must, the place is amazing and the Grand Canyon has to be seen, I found the first sight of the canyon quite emotional, it really is incredible. All I can say is if you are considering this tour, just do it…..we came from the UK just to do this tour and would use Bindlestiff again in a heartbeat.”

Good time with lots of riding in the van going to interesting places

Had a wonderful time in Alaska. A combination of the sights and sounds and what we saw as well as the CEO and other participants made it a great experience. A well balanced program with options to please all interests, it was a good time for all of us. Can't control the weather though, which would have made it a five star vacation. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Solo travel

Travel with g, myself and i.

Got an inner urge to get out and explore, but none of your travel buddies can make it happen? Sure, you could hit the road all on your own. But going with a small group gives your solo trip more structure, guidance and safety, letting you get head-to-toe immersed in our world.

Our most popular solo trips

Why travel solo with g adventures, you’re in good hands.

All our trips are led by a Chief Experience Officer, aka CEO. These locally based expert guides are your adventure’s captain, keeping things moving, organized, and as safe as can be.

Easy on the wallet

Why should traveling solo be more expensive? We treat single travelers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don’t charge single supplements.

Freedom to do you

Your trip is just that – yours. Want to linger at the market or grab a table at that cozy café? Go right ahead. We give your trip structure, but also plenty of free time.

Connection comes standard

With group sizes typically ranging from 12 to 16 people, you’ll have built-in community and connection with equally adventurous travelers from all over the world.

Always female friendly

Traveling solo as a woman can feel risky, but we’re committed to keeping everyone on our trips as safe as possible at all times. From our CEOs to our same-sex roommates, all women can adventure with confidence.

Some privacy, please

Want a room all to yourself? We offer single travelers a "My Own Room" option, meaning you could have a private room (and personal washroom) for your entire trip.

Know before you go

Never traveled solo or gone as part of a group before? We can get you sorted. Check out some of our most frequently asked questions or  get in touch with us any time.

We offer the “My Own Room” option on most of our tours, which guarantees you a room of your own for a modest additional fee. Cost and details of “My Own Room” vary according to the specific trip, so be sure to consult our trip summary pages for full details. On some tours, a single room may not be available at certain overnight stops, depending on the style of accommodation.

Wherever your heart takes you! Just about any place worth exploring is a good spot to venture out on your own.

Our groups often experience a good mix of ages, everything from travellers in their early-20s to those aged 60 and over. We sort all of our trips into Travel Styles, which guarantee that you’ll be travelling with people who share the same interests you do. Over the years, we’ve found that a good range of ages within a group often adds to the experience

On most evenings, your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will organize a group meal. It’s pretty flexible; you can choose to dine with the group or head off and do your own thing. Other nights, your CEO may recommend a few nearby restaurants you can try. Again, you determine whether you want to stick with the group or go it alone.

Most of our trips split pretty evenly down gender lines. We average roughly 60:40 female-to-male, so you’ll never feel outnumbered.

On most G Adventures tours, the ratio of solo travellers to others (couples, friends travelling together, etc) is roughly 40:60. For privacy reasons, we can’t share information about your soon-to-be travelling companions ahead of time. Our tours appeal to a wide cross-section of adventurous people from all over the world united by a desire to experience our planet from a grassroots level. Our tours are conducted in English and tend to attract travellers from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

The perks of solo travel with Intrepid

Authentic experiences with a local leader

Stuffy coaches, flag-touting tour guides and ‘seeing the sights’ isn’t our vibe. We prefer culturally-rich experiences – led by a local – that take you behind the scenes of a destination. Our itineraries are packed with unique insights into local life. We're talking hands-on pastry-making classes with local Macedonian women, watching a traditional dance performance on the sand dunes in Pushkar or sleeping in a lush eco-resort in the Amazon.

Small groups of ready-made friends

We’ve found that it’s not always about the places you go but the people you meet along the way. Our trips are designed for people of all ages and with all sorts of life stories. With an average group size of 10, you'll get to know each other beyond the pleasantries over long dinner conversations and shared experiences. With a little luck, the friendships you make on your trip may last long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase at home.

Safety, logistics and convenience

As exciting as traveling is, it often involves a fair bit of planning. While we're sure you're well equipped to handle any situation, the beauty of traveling with us means we'll do the heavy lifting and take care of the nitty-gritty details so you can focus on what you're here to do: travel! From navigating border crossings to booking bus tickets, bridging language barriers to cultural do's and don'ts, sit back and enjoy yourself while your leader takes care of everything.

Pick your own style of travel

We understand that people travel for different reasons. That’s why we’ve created a range of  travel themes and styles  to suit every Intrepid traveler. From our Basix style with simple accommodation and plenty of free time to our Premium trips featuring our best stays, experiences and leaders (with our Original and Comfort styles in between), choose what suits you and get ready for an unforgettable experience.

Tour reviews

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy

Who are Intrepid travelers?

Intrepid adventures are for travelers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're traveling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m traveling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travelers join because they are traveling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognizing that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travelers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travelers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by traveling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organized on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re traveling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travelers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.

Firstly, it’s the ease: One booking and you get a parade of fascinating destinations without the rigmarole of constant packing and unpacking.

Lastly, for the socially inclined, cruises are a vibrant hub, offering countless opportunities to mingle with fellow passengers . In short, for solo travelers, cruising is less about being alone and more about choosing your adventure – with a side of splendid sunsets and sundecks!

Benefits of a Single Cruise

Ah, the joys of solo travel! And when it’s on a cruise ship, you’re in for an even bigger treat. Here’s why:

The Symphony of Self-Discovery

The freedom that comes with a single cruise is unparalleled. It’s just you, the sea, and endless horizons to chase. Every port, every shore excursion, is a chance for reflection, growth, and that delicious taste of independence. And with no itinerary set in stone, you can truly immerse in the rhythm of your desires, be it a tranquil river cruise down the Danube or a thrilling zipline across a Caribbean jungle.

Social Sailing

No, you won’t be the lonely sailor gazing at the sea. Cruises are a hotbed of social activity. Special cruise lines are well aware of the vibrant solo travelers community and they organize events and gatherings specifically tailored to foster connections. From themed nights to special solo traveler mixers, you’ll be clinking glasses with like-minded adventurers in no time. Who knows? Your next best friend or business partner might just be a cabin away!

Customized Cruise Comfort

When we talk about cruise-specific benefits for singles, we’re talking about more than just avoiding the single supplement fee. We’re talking studio cabins designed with the solo voyager in mind, exclusive access to lounges where you can relax with fellow singles, and a buffet of activities that cater to individual tastes. Plus, the cruise staff are adept at ensuring that the needs of single travelers are met, from dining arrangements in the main dining room to group excursions where solo doesn’t mean solitary.

In essence, a single cruise is less about traveling alone and more about embracing the world on your terms, with a little nudge of cruise luxury to sweeten the voyage!

Best Cruise Lines for Singles Over 40 for Solo Adventures

Let the oceanic odyssey of self-discovery begin! For younger travelers and those sailing solo and past the age of 40, these cruise lines are poised to offer exceptional experiences. The horizon beckons, let’s chart the course.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Trailblazers in the cruising cosmos, Norwegian Cruise Line was the first major cruise company to envision and introduce studio cabins designed especially for the unattached adventurer. Fancy a cozy yet stylish 100-square-foot space?

Their ships, including the famed Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Breakaway, and the Norwegian Epic , are ready to serve. Beyond the private quarters, the exclusive Studio Lounge becomes the heart of interaction, a confluence of conversations and clinks. And as night falls? The bars, lounges, and adult-only zones turn vibrant with events and live music resonating till the wee hours.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Elegance on the sea, Regent Seven Seas Cruises cater predominantly to a mature clientele, but their shorter sailings often find favor with the lively 40s and 50s age group . But worry not about feeling out of place. The luxury cruise line shines in its commitment to solo voyagers. With a suite of services ranging from dedicated hosts to bespoke excursions, single travelers never feel adrift.

A slew of discounts frequently welcomes solo sailors, with impressive reductions on single supplements. But the true allure? Their all-encompassing package. Think Wi-Fi, gourmet drinks, curated shore excursions, and gratuities, all enveloped in your booking. Pricey? Perhaps. Worth every penny? Absolutely.

Silversea Cruises

For those in quest of opulence and edification, Silversea Cruises sets the gold standard. As a luxury enclave for those over 40, it promises intimacy with its smaller ship size, focusing on adult-centric and enlightening activities. An exemplar? The onboard resident photographers guide you through the nuances of wildlife and landscape photography.

Every journey boasts a theme cruise with a unique theme, fueling fascinating dialogues among fellow passengers. But here’s a heads-up: while the lavishness is abundant, solo cabins are conspicuously absent. Solo cruisers might find themselves paying a single supplement ranging from 25% to 75%. Yet, with periodic promotions, savvy sailors might snag a deal where such fees are generously slashed.

Holland America Line

Charting a course through the complex waters of solo travel, Holland America Line casts a wide net with over forty tailored activities that foster interactions. Whether you are shaking up at the cocktail mixer, reveling in team trivia, or line-dancing your way into new friendships, the itinerary is pulsating with possibilities.

From grooving in the B.B. King’s Blues Club to indulging in the rock-infused ambiance of the Rolling Stone Rock Room, this line strikes a chord. For tranquil souls, the culinary delights of America’s Test Kitchen or the serenity offered by Oprah Magazine-branded activities like yoga and book clubs offer a refreshing break. However, for other solo travelers, cabins are a coveted commodity, majorly available on ships like the Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam. Early birds get the worm, or in this case, their solo haven.

Steeped in over 180 years of maritime legacy, Cunard is the epitome of British cruising opulence. Among its armada, the Queen Mary 2 stands tall, offering an unparalleled transatlantic experience. Every ship in the Cunard fleet boasts solo cabins, albeit in limited numbers, underscoring the importance of early reservations.

A unique feather in Cunard’s cap? It’s the lone cruise line that welcomes the furry companions of solo travelers on its Queen Mary 2 transatlantic escapades. Their four-tiered accommodation system — Britannia, Britannia Club, Princess Grill, and Queens Grill — is married to distinct dining experiences. And for the fashion-forward, Cunard’s stringent dress code and themed evenings like Black & White or Roaring Twenties offer a runway on the waves.

Singles Theme Cruises

For those eager to find harmony on the high seas, theme cruises are a resonating note. These tailored voyages curate a milieu of like-minded aficionados, be it music fanatics, serial TV show enthusiasts, or even paranormal enthusiasts. Companies like Vacations To Go or Singles Cruise lay out a variety of itineraries aimed at the mature voyager.

From religious-centered cruises like Amazing Journeys for Jewish singles or All Christian Cruises to the vibrant LGBTQ-friendly offerings by Atlantis, there’s a spectrum to choose from. And for the audacious, Temptation Cruises is set to unanchor its thrilling adults-only journey for the venturesome souls, embracing both singles and couples.

Adventure Canada

Navigating the untouched corners of our planet, Adventure Canada offers an immersive experience in the wilderness. With a focus on education and conservation, their voyages are a confluence of adventure and learning. Designed for the inquisitive traveler, these journeys explore remote terrains, fostering deep connections with nature and indigenous cultures.

Royal Caribbean

The dynamic essence of Royal Caribbean resonates with the spirited traveler, blending adrenaline with serenity. These cruises reimagine the vacation experience, oscillating between heart-pounding activities like surfing simulators and sky-diving experiences to more tranquil moments in the adults-only Solarium.

Beyond the thrill, the bars, lounges specialty dining, and casinos offer mature social spaces. Their range of solo cabins, spanning from interior to virtual balcony staterooms, is in high demand. Early booking is a wise strategy to secure these havens of solitude amidst the vibrant ship life.

AmaWaterways Cruises

For those eager to venture off the beaten oceanic path, AmaWaterways offers a serene passage through Europe’s lifeblood rivers. With intimate ship sizes, it’s an intricate dance of familiarity and discovery. Each port, be it the romantic Seine in Paris or the majestic Danube, invites exploration.

Complementing the scenic beauty, activities like riverbank cycling or gastronomic tours enrich the experience. Their commitment to service and value positions them as a top pick for solo travelers over 40, yearning for an enriching voyage.

P&O Cruises

Sailing with a legacy, P&O Cruises caters to diverse traveler desires. While their fleet is expansive, the Arcadia and Aurora stand out as adult-only ships, resonating with the mature solo voyager. Meanwhile, the Britannia boasts the crown for cruise ships with the most solo cabins, with 27 distinguished spots, and 15 flaunting balconies.

Ideally positioned on the Lido deck, these cabins do beckon a cautionary note for those susceptible to seasickness. And for those pondering the age of the ships, rest easy. Both Arcadia and Aurora are set to be rejuvenated in the upcoming years, ensuring a blend of tradition and modern luxury.

Choosing the Ideal Singles Cruises Over 40

Embarking on a cruise as a solo traveler over 40 requires thoughtful decision-making. First and foremost, identify your key interests: Is it a specific destination, or perhaps the allure of a long, tranquil voyage? Duration plays a role; do you envision a quick escape or an extended journey?

Next, dissect onboard amenities. Are you captivated by luxury spas or perhaps intellectual seminars? Of course, your budget matters, ensuring your choices align with your financial comfort.

Several cruise lines shine in catering to the solo voyager over 40, such as Silversea and AmaWaterways, distinguished not just for their facilities, but also for their solo-friendly programs. Yet, the pivotal aspect remains personal preference. Your cruise should echo your passions, be it culture, adventure, relaxation, or all combined. After all, it’s your journey; ensure it resonates deeply with your spirit.

Is Cruising Alone Expensive?

Cruising solo can sometimes carry a higher price tag due to the “single supplement” fees many cruise lines charge. This supplement is a way for cruise companies to compensate for not having the usual two passengers in a cabin, both contributing to onboard spending. However, the trend is shifting.

Recognizing the growing market of solo travelers, several cruise lines now offer dedicated single cabins, eliminating or reducing these extra costs. Additionally, periodic promotions may waive these fees. While cruising alone can be pricier than sharing a cabin, the experience offers unparalleled freedom and flexibility. The key is to research and find cruise deals tailored to solo travelers, ensuring both an affordable and memorable voyage.

Safety Considerations for Solo Travelers

Embarking on a solo cruise is a journey of self-exploration and freedom. However, the shimmering waters and exotic ports shouldn’t overshadow the paramount importance of safety. As solo voyagers chart their course, the autonomy and thrill come with unique challenges.

While the call for adventure is compelling, being well-prepared and conscious of potential risks ensures a smooth voyage. From safeguarding personal belongings to navigating new terrains confidently, this guide illuminates safety’s beacon for every lone traveler.

• Prioritize Safety: Emphasize the need to always put safety first, given the potential vulnerabilities of solo travel.
• Awareness is Key: Familiarize oneself with the ship’s layout and participate in all safety drills. Stay vigilant in unfamiliar environments.
• Protect Personal Items: Use onboard safes for valuables and consider secure bags when exploring ashore.
• Prioritize Health: Stay updated with health guidelines, practice good hygiene, and report any health concerns promptly.
• Address Loneliness and Targeting Concerns: Engage in group activities or excursions to foster connections. Share your plans with a trusted individual.
• Bottom Line: While solo cruising offers an unparalleled experience of self-discovery, it’s crucial to balance this adventure with safety mindfulness.

Navigating the vast expanse of the open seas on a cruise as a solo traveler is undeniably an exhilarating experience. It promises adventures, new friendships, and personal growth. Yet, as with any journey, it’s imperative to strike a balance between the thrill of exploration and the safeguarding of one’s well-being.

By staying informed, prioritizing safety, and choosing the right cruise tailored to individual preferences, solo cruisers can truly savor the essence of their voyage. Remember, while the allure of the horizon beckons, it’s the peace of mind and memorable experiences that make every journey worthwhile. As you set sail on your next adventure, let preparedness and prudence be your trusty co-passengers. Safe travels!

Do single people meet on cruises?

Absolutely! Cruises are a popular venue for single individuals to meet new people, whether it’s through specially curated singles events, shared excursions, or even casual interactions at dining areas, bars, and entertainment zones traditional cruise too. The communal nature of cruise ships fosters camaraderie and allows people to form new friendships and connections.

How old are people on singles cruises?

The age range on single cruises can vary widely based on the specific cruise line and itinerary. While some cruises cater to a younger crowd, others might target travelers over 40 or even 50. It’s always a good idea to check the target demographic of a tour company or particular cruise to ensure it aligns with your preferences.

How much is a cruise single?

The expense for an individual on a cruise can vary based on aspects such as the cruise operator, destination, length of the trip, and the kind of cabin chosen. Some cruise lines offer “solo cabins” which are designed specifically for single travelers and may be more affordable than regular cabins. However, some cruises might charge a “single supplement,” which is an additional fee for travelers occupying a cabin alone.
