The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Tours
Find out more about our no single supplement tours and travelling with a group.
At Great Rail Journeys, we believe that rail travel is for everyone, including those who choose to tour as a solo traveller. We take great pride in helping each and every one of our passengers make the most of our tours and their destinations, whether they travel as a group or on their own.
Why single travellers travel with us
When booking a Great Rail Journeys tour, single travellers enjoy the same benefits as everyone else, while at the same time taking in the benefits of a flexible solo traveller experience.
All of our tours allow for solo travellers to choose whether to join the group on an excursion or venture off on their own, providing an option for those who prefer individual exploration.
Here are just a few reasons why our solo customers choose to travel with us:
Please note, all of our tours are available to single travellers and on each tour, single travellers can be sure to enjoy the exact same high quality as everyone else.
However, on tours which do not feature our No Single Supplement offer, single travellers will be required to pay a single traveller supplement for their chosen departure. These single supplements are charged by the hotels we use; we do not charge supplements for our own services provided by Great Rail Journeys.
To only search for tours with no single supplement, please click More filters to the right of the Your search bar, and tick the I'm travelling solo, show single room pricing checkbox.
Benefits of travelling solo with us
When booking a Great Rail Journeys tour, single travellers enjoy the same benefits as everyone else, while at the same time taking in the benefits of a flexible solo traveller experience.
Group travel
Our Tour Managers are all excellent professionals who understand when to include people or when to leave them to their own devices, and will always ensure that solo travellers are included if they so wish
The Escorted Experience
Due to the escorted nature of our tours, every traveller becomes part of a group of sociable, like minded and English speaking people, allowing for the perfect opportunity to make friends and share experiences.
No Single Supplement
We always aim to offer fair single supplements for our customers who prefer to travel alone, only charging the supplement for the extra costs levied by some hotels for single occupancy
