How would you like to travel?

Start with what you enjoy. We’ll help you find the right pace, accommodation and arrangements for travelling on your own.

River & small-ship cruising

Unpack, settle in and enjoy a new view. Explore ashore, join shared experiences and return to your own cabin.

Small-group adventures

Share the wildlife sightings, local discoveries or photography stops with others who came for the same reason.

Women travellers at the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

Women-only journeys

Explore remarkable places in the company of other women. Consider Egypt or Sri Lanka, with room arrangements checked for your chosen departure.

Australia at your own pace

A well-located hotel, a memorable meal and a day out worth taking. Build a shorter escape with space to explore and the key arrangements in place.

A few possibilities to get you thinking

The right holiday starts with the experience. Then we check the dates, your own-room options and the total price for one traveller.

Uniworld river cruises

Think riverside towns, time to explore and a comfortable cabin to return to. Ask about solo options on Uniworld’s 2027 departures, including the Rhine.

PONANT small-ship voyages

Explore by small ship with a double stateroom to yourself. PONANT’s Free Solo Supplement offer applies to selected departures; the Owner’s Suite is excluded.

Essential Botswana

Discover contrasting landscapes on an eight-night safari, from the Kalahari to the waterways of the Okavango Delta. Ask about current solo pricing and the best travel window for you.

G Adventures Solo-ish

Join a small group made up of solo travellers, with shared experiences and time for yourself. Private-room upgrades cost extra and depend on the trip; we’ll check the arrangements with you.

Festive Mekong cruise: your own cabin, no single supplement

Spend seven nights discovering Vietnam and Cambodia with Heritage Line, sailing between Siem Reap and Saigon. Explore ashore with a guide and return to a cabin of your own, with company over meals and time to unwind.

No single supplement on the cruise portion of selected 2027 Europe river cruises, and on selected 2027 Mekong departures. Deluxe Staterooms and Panorama Suites may be available under the offer, depending on the sailing.

Solo fares, room categories and availability vary by departure. Your quote will make clear what is included, whether flights are extra and the price for your chosen room or cabin.

Enjoy the anticipation. Get help with the details.

Which arrival day makes sense? Is the hotel in the right place? Will the pace suit you? These are the details that can make a real difference when you’re travelling on your own.

Benefit from 25+ years of travel advice, first-hand experience of three European river cruises and regular Australian travels. Bryce helps you compare the options and organise the whole journey, with one person to talk to as your plans take shape.

A few things you might be wondering

That depends on the holiday and fare. Many cruises and tours offer your own cabin or room. Some group-tour prices assume sharing, with a supplement for a private room. We’ll explain the arrangement and cost before you choose.

It usually means the extra charge for occupying a room or cabin alone is waived on the specified fare. Eligible departures, categories and inclusions vary. It does not mean every part of your holiday, including extra hotel nights, has no solo surcharge.

Some trips, such as G Adventures Solo-ish, are designed exclusively for solo travellers. Many cruises and other tours welcome a mixture of solo guests, couples and friends. Women-only does not necessarily mean solo-only. We’ll help you understand the group before booking.

Yes. Flights from New Zealand, transfers and accommodation before or after your cruise or tour can be arranged together. We’ll look at timings and connections so you know how each part of the journey fits.

Tell Bryce what you’d enjoy and what you’re unsure about. A shorter Australian escape, a guided tour or a cruise may each suit different preferences. We can discuss meals, free time, activity levels and arrival arrangements before you decide.
