Our Solo Traveller Collection

More choices for independent explorers

With our solo holidays, tailored for the like-minded and designed with the curious in mind, you may be travelling solo, but you’ll never feel alone. The development and launch of this collection, alongside 25 no-single-supplement classic and festive tours, was driven by the necessity to bring back journeys that allow both the seasoned and first-time traveller to explore the world again while being escorted.

Newmarket Holidays has five exclusively solo holidays, focused on showcasing our most popular wish-list destinations, which promise five unique opportunities to discover, learn, and connect, both under our guidance and on your own time. As a result of the thoughtfully balanced itineraries being inspired by specific interests and hobbies, you’re also guaranteed a well-matched group to share experiences of a lifetime.

A solo holiday, your way

This is your holiday, but you’re in our safe hands, specifically those of the experienced and friendly tour manager. Serving as a local host, your designated guide will ensure the comfort, well-being and unity of the group while bringing the itinerary to life throughout. For additional support, advice, and recommendations, they’ll always be on standby to oversee the seamless operations of every travel arrangement.

Your own space and time

Although you’ll be on a group tour, having your own private guestroom and bathroom facilities is a given. Depending on the centrally located accommodation available, you’ll have a twin or double guestroom or in some cases, a designated single room. The included excursions will be experienced alongside fellow travellers, so you’ll always have like-minded guests around to share those wish-list moments with. We’ve also curated the collection to offer plenty of time for self-exploration and free days with unguided visits.

Included social opportunities

How much interaction you’d like to engage in is a personal preference, however, we’ve included a few opportunities to support getting to know the other travellers. A welcome drink and dinner on the first night of each tour provide a perfect chance to connect from the get-go, and a farewell dinner during the final evening means you can reflect, celebrate and share stories with your new-found friends. On most of the tours, the meal plans operate on a flexible board basis, which means you have the independence to dine where you want or at your leisure.

Five exclusively solo tours

From island hopping off the Dalmatian Coast and immersing yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, to surveying the cultural highlights of Sicily and the epic wilderness of Kenya, our latest solo tours are packed with captivating experiences. The lengthiest escape, covering India’s Golden Triangle, is especially full of moments for creating remarkable memories.
