The Solo Travel Awards are presented to companies that excel in serving solo travelers. Nominate your company in one or more of five categories. Check out our international panels of judges, all of whom are prominent travel writers.
The Solo Traveler Deals page presents tours, cruises, and other travel products with no or very low single supplements. Most tours advertised specify that they are based on double occupancy and when a single person trygis to book there is a single supplement surcharge of up to 100%. Solo Traveler advocates for solo travelers by encouraging the travel industry to eliminate the single supplement.
