To make travelling solo more accessible, Cosmos – part of the Globus family of brands – is waiving the single supplement on 15 tours across Europe and North America in 2023. Five “no single supplement” spaces have been set aside for each tour.

“Solo travel is on the rise and it’s our pleasure to support the incredible journey solo travellers take from the moment they say ‘yes’ to the end of their holiday,” said Ainsley Ericksen, senior director of marketing for the Globus family.

“By waiving the single supplement on select tours, we’re helping solo travellers enjoy a world of exploration in 2023. Now, more than ever, they’re in great company.”

Before the pandemic, approximately 15% of travellers were going solo. Since then, Google searches for solo travel have quadrupled. And, according to a recent survey of Cosmos travellers, 26% of respondents said they’re planning to travel solo in the coming year – nearly doubling 2019 travel statistics.

And while solo travel comes in every shape and size, “Solo Traveler World’s” recent annual reader survey showed that 9 of 10 solo travellers prefer to “take tours all or some of the time.”

On a tour, those going solo are on their own, but never truly alone, said Ericksen. Instead, Cosmos guests have access to a Tour Director – a local expert who’s with them throughout the journey, providing an immersive, storytelling experience – and the promise of vetted, comfortable, safe accommodations with transportation, included, as part of the itinerary.
