Newmarket Holidays has launched the Solo Traveller Collection, a new range of escorted group tours for guests holidaying on their own.

The collection features 25 short and long haul tours, with five that have been curated exclusively for solo travellers.

New solo-only options cover a variety of Newmarket Holidays' most popular destinations including the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Highlands (from £825pp), the culinary and cultural highlights of Western Sicily (from £1,249pp), the heavenly Croatian islands of Korčula and Hvar (from £1,889pp), a Kenyan safari and beach break (from £3,479pp), and an exotic adventure through India's Golden Triangle (from £2,875pp).

Each of the solo tours is accompanied by a friendly tour manager who will ensure the comfort, unity and well-being of the group while bringing the itinerary to life throughout. Travellers will also be in a group of like-minded guests to share special memories with, but with plenty of time for self-exploration and free days with unguided visits. The level of interaction with other guests is up to the individual, but Newmarket Holidays includes opportunities on the tour, such as a welcome and farewell dinner, for guests to get to know the other travellers in their group.

In addition, 20 of the operator's existing UK, Europe and worldwide itineraries have been adapted to offer no single supplements on selected departure dates throughout the year. Options include a nature-centred getaway to the Norwegian fjords, a wine-lover's favourite visiting the vineyards fringing the Douro River of Portugal, or an exciting exploration to discover Inca treasures in Peru's Sacred Valley.

The new launch is a response to Newmarket Holidays' own search and booking data that shows a big rise in single person bookings in the 50 plus age group, alongside evidence from independent reports and Google search data that shows 'solo travel' is a growing trend.

Verity Rice, Director of Product, Purchasing & Operations says: “Solo travel is becoming more popular than ever and we recognise that it's important to ensure we have a wide variety of options for single travellers.

“With five tours that are exclusively for solos, and lots more options for those wanting to join our classic tours without paying an additional supplement, our Solo Collection features getaways that go beyond the guidebooks, and offer the company and community of like-minded travellers. Guests may be travelling solo, but they'll never feel alone.

“Our five exclusive solo tours include no single supplements, while our classics tours have a limited number of places without single supplements throughout the year on selected dates, so early booking is recommended.”
