Frequently Asked Questions about Singles Holidays
Do I always have to pay the single-room supplement as a solo traveller?
No. Many tour operators offer dates without or with reduced single-room supplement. Club hotels, cruises and group trips in particular often have suitable contingents.
From what age am I a "Best Ager"?
In the travel industry usually from about 50 years. Many singles holidays distinguish between younger singles, middle-aged singles and Best Agers.
Is a group trip not for me if I need peace and quiet?
Not necessarily. Good group trips offer fixed programme points, but also free time. Those who need a lot of peace and quiet are often better placed in a wellness hotel or adults-only hotel.
Can singles travel with a child?
Yes. There are offers for single parents with a child, often with children's fixed prices or reduced single-room supplement. Family clubs are particularly suitable for this.
Are singles holidays matchmaking?
No. The focus is on holidaying with like-minded people, not dating. Contacts arise naturally, but are not an obligation and not an official aim of the trip.
