With so many solo travellers looking for affordable ways to travel, without the dreaded single supplement, I am always watching for specials. Periodically, when I have time, I summarize a few into an email to send to those who may be interested. Here is a sample:

Nice news in my email this week:

Right now there is no end date on this promotion, but it is capacity controlled and can be withdrawn at any time.

ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT PACKAGES - there are solo packages available!
I've heard it often,
"those packaged deals to sun spots are too expensive for solos!". Perhaps you've evem mumbled this yourself. Well, the good news is that there ARE packages for solos at select resorts. Here are a few sample properties that offer single occupancy rooms at no extra charge:

... AND MORE!
I currently have reduced or waived single supplement offers from
Avalon Waterways, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, to name just a few. For land tours, I have great solo fares with
Insight Vacations and
Trafalgar (great deals in Egypt and Turkey!). Please get in touch if you are thinking about planning a trip!
Remember that prices and availability are subject to change. If you see something you like, please get in touch as soon as possible.
Looking for something else? While reduced or waived single supplements are hard to find, they do exist, and I can help you find them. A few ships also offer solo staterooms, with no single supplement. I can also assist with tours and land vacations for solos.
Cheers,
Roberta
