View Profile

Solos has over 30 years experience in the Solo traveller market; we have the widest choice of holidays for the single traveller including Sun, City Breaks, Activities and Discovery escorted tours.

Our variety of Dance Weekends and Black Tie Balls are second to none and we are the only single traveller specialist to offer Walks and Treks, Tennis, Golf and Ski holidays.

You will always have your own room and are free to join our groups or go your own way as you please - it's your holiday! In 2015 we introduced our 'ClubSolos' range of exclusive Solos -only hotels.  Exclusive to us - exclusively yours!

Solos was formed in 1982 specifically to meet the needs of the single traveller - we are the first holiday company to specialise in this way. Since that time, we've stayed true to our roots and our expertise has been recognised by an ever-growing and loyal community of customers. We are still the UK's number one singles holiday company.

Quality and choice

As you would expect after 30 years of operations, we've created a unique combination of quality and choice for the single traveller. We can offer something for all tastes and budgets, whatever type of holiday you're after, whatever your preferred destination

ClubSolos

Because Solos has been offering holidays to single travellers for longer than any other tour operator, we understand exactly what our customers are looking for in a holiday! This is why we have selected a number of exclusive hotels where you can enjoy a relaxing and fun atmosphere - as private as you might want but as near to all the attractions, sights and local hospitality as you might want! And, because they're exclusive to us, that means you'll not be sharing the facilities with anybody other than fellow Solos guests.

Over the years we've listened to our customers and gained specialised knowledge of our destinations. We can show you the best places to go and can give great advice, based on our unrivalled experience, to help you have unforgettable holidays

Our Price Promise

As a matter of policy, we never penalise our early bookers.  Unlike most other travel companies, whenever we negotiate lower prices from our suppliers, we'll pass the savings to every customer in the group regardless of when they booked.

Also, by booking early you'll be guaranteed the lowest prices.  Many airline prices rise over the season and if we are forced to increase our prices after you've confirmed your booking with us, your holiday cost is confirmed at the lower price.

If prices fall after you've booked, you'll automatically be given the lower price.

Solos isn't just another holiday company.

Solos is a travel community and we fondly welcome new members to enjoy the experiences of travelling with us. Over half of our customers are regular travellers - the service we offer personal yet unobtrusive. Group sizes do vary but you will be holidaying with other single travellers who share a passion for life and discovering new and exciting destinations in the UK, Europe and around the world.

Solos’ cruises offer a world of possibilities; from the exotic shorelines of the Caribbean, to the historic ports of the Mediterranean and the elegance of the Baltic capitals.

We are delighted to feature six programmes on the Magellan, the latest addition and flagship of the Cruise & Maritime Voyages fleet, offering exceptional value and an intimate and leisurely style of cruising.

Cruising The World Over

Our Norwegian Cruise Line sailings continue to be popular and all NCL cruises feature the exclusive Studio Lounge to which you have access after booking your Studio Stateroom, a cabin type specifically designed for single travellers. The Studio Lounge is a shared private lounge where you can meet your fellow single travellers, have coffee or make plans for the day. We are also delighted to include the Royal Caribbean International wintersun cruise to Dubai as well as two cruises with Fred. Olsen which are proving to be very popular.

1. Choose one of our fabulous Solos cruise group departures and join fellow independent cruisers to share the experience.

NB: Please note that regardless of group sizes our cruise departures will still operate.

2. If you do not wish to cruise in a Solos group, wish to go on a different date to the ones published or on a different itinerary or ship we are happy to try and arrange a tailor-made cruise just for you. We work closely with many of the major cruise companies and have access to a huge range of itineraries.

Accommodation

,Just a short drive from the Numbi Gate entrance of Kruger National Park our tented lodge’s main facilities include a restaurant, lounge area and a bar. Sit back and watch the world go by from the verandah with its views over the Kruger National Park and the hotels freeform swimming pool. The viewing deck overlooks the dam with its own resident hippo. Dinners are in either the restaurant at the Lodge or in the ‘Boma’ (an area in the bush next to the main tent). Our permanent timber and canvas tented rooms built on wooden stilts are constructed to have a minimum impact on the natural environment. They all come with their own decking area, air-conditioner, wardrobe, tea/coffee-making facilities and en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower.

Should you wish to cancel your confirmed booking, notification by email or in writing must be received at our offices from the person who made the booking. Verbal notification is not sufficient.

For scheduled flights, regional flights and flights with no-frills airlines, 100% cancellation charges may apply regardless of the time you tell us.

It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
