Solo traveller deals

I know there are few solo travellers on this site so thought it might be worth having a dedicated thread for deals with no or reduced single supplement

I found this site that might help

Of course for cruisers Ponant has very many cruises with no single supplement. That is you get a cabin paying for just one person where as normally you have to pay for two.

currently 165 on offer. There is a quota I think for each cruise so the offer can be withdrawn without notice but then other cruises can also open up.

Intrepid Travel is another small group travel company who waive single supplements if you are open to sharing a room with another person of the same sex in the group. It doesn't mean you will definitely have to share Years ago I travelled to Russia with Peregrine (their sister company that was rolled under their brand name during Covid lockdown years). The agent on the phone was most helpful in telling me there were only 4 others in my group, two couples. So I didn't pay the single supplement but still landed a single room.

The risk of having to share a room with a stranger is way too high for me. Own room and own bathroom or I don't go

YMMV

The relevant points still remain regardless of one's mileage being 1) you aren't obliged to pay a single supplement with Intrepid and 2) if you're canny, book without paying it and only pay at the last minute if you think there's a chance you'll have to share a room (if you land a good booking agent he/she will let you know if you'll definitely have a single room or not).

FYI @FlyingFiona you cant always just add single suplement closer to departure with Intrepid. The only way to gurantee your own room is to pay supplement at time of booking.

Sure you can get lucky, but more often than not you will end up sharing and not necessarily with a compatible room mate.

On the Peregrine/Comfort Class trips, solo male travellers are far less common than solo female travellers so chances of free single room increase if you are male.

GAdventures, World Expeditions, Contki, The Dragon Tour, Trafalgar and many others all offer no single supplement if you are willing to share a room.

But with age and a better bank balance sharing is a hard no from me unless travelling with my partner, sibling or a friend.
