Travelling alone has never been more popular, particularly for those aged 65 and over. ABTA reports show our population is older and more adventurous than ever before – and many are satisfying their itchy feet with a far-flung foray into the world of solo travel. Escorted holiday specialist, Titan Travel, is celebrating this shift in holiday appetite by joining the #SoloSeptember campaign, offering discerning travellers a value-added middle ground between travelling with a companion and travelling completely alone.
The operator has doubled its offering of solo tours for 2019, now offering 22 itineraries reserved exclusively for those travelling by themselves. Each tour is designed specifically with single travellers in mind and with an experienced Titan tour manager hosting a drinks reception on the first night of each tour; it’s a fantastic way to get to know like-minded travellers – all with absolutely no single supplements to pay.
What’s more, Titan ensures those travelling alone are supported each step of the way with its renowned VIP door-to-door travel service and airport meet-and-greet all included. For those who wants an even wider selection of holidays to choose from, the operator also offers a selection of its non-solo itineraries with no or very low single supplements.
In fact, Titan’s solo tours are so well regarded; the operator has been nominated in the prestigious British Travel Awards under the ‘Best Singles Holiday Company’, with those who cast their vote entered into a prize draw to win a host of fabulous prizes.
Here’s some solo holiday options:
