Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel anytime? Absolutely yes. There is a link in each email to cancel your subscription to Tracey's List.
Is this about cheap travel? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's about value for your dollar and travel that offers exceptional experiences. There will always be really good deals whether that's for the budget or luxury traveler.
How many tours or cruises should I expect on each Tracey's List? That will depend. Tracey will deliver as many great options as she can however, if a month only produces four, that's what you'll get. If there are a dozen or more, that's what you'll get.
Are these trips only for solo travelers? Some trips may be exclusively for solo travelers but others may be a combination of friends/couples and solos. It will depend.
Why are flights not included in the prices? Tracey's List serves people from many countries. The cost of flights, therefore, will vary depending on your home airport. In many cases, the tour/cruise company will offer flights as well and we recommend using them if the price is comparable to what you can book independently.
Be gone, single supplement!
When we launched Solo Traveler back in 2009, the dreaded single supplement — that extra fee solo travelers had to pay just for wanting their own room — could be as high as 100%. Oof. Unsurprisingly, solo travelers weren’t fans. So we rolled up our sleeves and set out to change that.
These days, things are looking up. Our tour and cruise advertisers now regularly offer over 100 solo-friendly trips — most with no supplement at all, and none over 20%. A big win for solo wanderers!
But digging through all those options — and sniffing out hidden gems from around the web — takes time. Luckily, Tracey loves the hunt. She scans the fine print, crunches the numbers, and pulls together a monthly list of the best tours and cruises for solo travelers that truly deliver on value and adventure.
The result? Tracey’s List — a curated collection of solo travel goodness, delivered right to your inbox. She's cheering you on with every new journey.
