Guided group tours are a fantastic way for solo travellers to explore the world. They offer the opportunity to meet like-minded people and travel with confidence - thanks to the knowledge and support of an experienced local group leader.

Accommodation is typically arranged on a twin-share basis, helping to keep costs down while fostering a friendly, social atmosphere. For those who prefer more privacy, affordable own-room upgrades are usually available, along with plenty of time for independent exploration.

Some tours are even designed exclusively for solo travellers, creating a welcoming community of people exploring the world independently - so you can be sure you’ll always feel comfortable and included.

Cruise holidays are an excellent way for solo travellers to explore multiple destinations in one seamless trip, with the added benefit of unpacking only once. On board, they offer wide range of organised entertainment - from dance classes and deck parties to solo-traveller meetups. Mealtimes also offer social, shared seating for dining, giving you the chance to connect with fellow passengers in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

With a ready-made itinerary and thoughtfully planned shore excursions, cruising takes the stress out of travel logistics, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the journey. To make things even more appealing, some sailings offer reduced or no single supplements on select departures, making solo cruising more affordable than you might expect.

City breaks are ideal for solo travel, they offer a mix of historic sites, museums, local cuisine, shopping, and cultural experiences. Explore at your own pace, tick off must-see attractions, relax in a cosy café and soak up everyday life. Whether you enjoy a packed itinerary or prefer to wander without a plan, cities provide the perfect balance of excitement and comfort for first-time and seasoned solo travellers alike.

Staying in centrally located hotels, choosing walkable cities and booking local experiences is a brilliant way to enhance a city break. Walking tours help you get your bearings and meet fellow travellers, while food experiences let you taste local dishes in a relaxed, social setting.

Active and wellness holidays are perfect for solo travellers. They structure your days and let you focus on your own goals and interests - whether that’s fitness, mindfulness, or trying something new - without having to compromise on anyone else’s plans. With tailored activities and plenty of opportunities to connect with other people who share your interests, these trips are designed to leave you feeling refreshed and confident, with a sense of achievement.

There are a growing range of guided group tours that blend active and wellness experiences, giving you support and shared motivation while you explore. Or, if you’d like to combine a wellness holiday with a stunning Caribbean beach, BodyHoliday offers an exceptional range of activities, from fitness classes and watersports to daily spa treatments, with communal dining and social events - and their September Solos programme is dedicated to solo travellers, featuring hosted dinners, group excursions and shared experiences designed to help you connect with other guests.

A solo journey doesn’t have to mean travelling completely independently for the entire trip. Many of the solo holidays we arrange are for travellers flying alone to visit friends and family abroad. Adding a solo stopover can turn travel time into an exciting mini adventure. Stopover cities around the world offer fantastic opportunities for solo travellers to explore at their own pace. 

Take a look at our range of global stopovers, all of which can be tailored for solo travel. With organised transfers and pre-arranged guided sightseeing, it is easy to make the most of your time. Whether you are hoping to wander historic streets, sample local street food, or simply enjoy some time for quiet reflection, a solo stopover offers the perfect balance of freedom, exploration, and self-care along the way.

Solo female travel is on the rise, as women of all ages embrace the ability to travel on their own terms - whether that means immersing themselves in culture on a city break, relaxing on at a luxurious resort or exploring unfamiliar lands.

You don’t need to wait for someone else to come with you or to change your plans to suit others- solo female travel is about exploring the world without compromise. Whether travelling independently or on a guided group tour - some designed exclusively for female travellers - the ability to stay connected has made it easier than ever to travel with confidence and do the things that make you happy. 

Guided group tours are especially popular among women, with female travellers making up a large proportion of participants, particularly on solo-specific tours. These tours allow women to visit destinations that might otherwise feel out of reach, providing support, local insight, and a built-in community of female travellers.

Sometimes, you simply need to get away - to soak up sunshine, breathe in beautiful scenery, and slow the pace of life. Whether you’re taking a break from work, family, or simply relishing time in your own company, a solo beach escape gives you complete freedom to shape each day as you please. Read a great book, lose yourself in your favourite podcasts, or do nothing at all. Solo beach breaks are about total relaxation, away from the noise of everyday life.

When it comes to choosing the perfect hotel, everyone’s idea of paradise is different. You might be dreaming of a remote island hideaway with a deckchair just steps from your room, a livelier resort with evening entertainment and sociable bars, a stunning sea view for lazy afternoons on the balcony, or a hotel perfectly placed to explore local attractions. All of our beach holidays can be tailored for solo travellers, and our expert travel consultants will be able to talk you through your options to find the perfect fit for you.

Whether you’re planning a year-long journey to Australasia or backpacking across South and Central America, taking each day as it comes might be part of your solo travel plan. However, booking the outline of an itinerary can provide valuable security and peace of mind - while also ensuring you don’t miss out on must-see highlights by securing them in advance.

Having your first few nights arranged allows you to arrive, settle in gently, and familiarise yourself with your surroundings. By locking in key experiences early, you can relax knowing the highlights are taken care of, while still leaving plenty of room for spontaneity along the way. When you book a package with Trailfinders, you also benefit from unrivalled consumer protection. This means that even while travelling independently, you’re never truly alone, with 24-hour assistance and expert advice always on hand.
