Fancy a solo break? You’re not alone. More and more of us are choosing to holiday by ourselves, regardless of whether we’re single, coupled up or happily married. Why, you ask? Perhaps it’s because you don’t have to compromise on the destination you choose, the sights you’d like to see or the activities you’d like to take part in. On a solo break, you can kick back by the pool for as long as you like or explore those time-steeped castles your partner would be bored to tears at – no guilt required. So, with this in mind, here are our best holidays for singles. This list includes everything from escorted tours and river cruises to beach breaks – happy holiday hunting...

Want to go on an action-packed, solo adventure without the hassle of organising it? Join a TUI Tour. On these adults-only, small group trips, everything from your hotel to your transport is taken care of, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. You’ll tick off all of your chosen country’s best bits, plus you’ll get to see a new side to your destination thanks to the know-how of a friendly, English-speaking guide. The best bit? You don’t need to be super outgoing to meet new people on these trips because you’ll already be sharing your travel experiences with the rest of the group. We’re talking everything from climbing the Great Wall of China to exploring Costa Rica’s national parks. And if you’d prefer to keep to yourself – no worries – you can do that, too.

If you’d like to discover Europe alone, river cruising’s the way to do it. With TUI River Cruises, you can take your pick from a range of itineraries on the Rhine, the Main, the Moselle, the Danube and the Dutch and Belgian waterways. You can explore everything from Germany’s fairy-tale towns to Austria’s grand places. Plus, in-between sight-seeing, simply hop back on your ship and wine, dine and watch the world go by. There are three single cabins on each of our ships, so, it’s easy to get away by yourself. Plus, all of our ships are adults only, and there’s a maximum of 155 guests onboard at any time, so you can be sure that you’ll have your own space. Don’t forget you’ll get up to £120 shore experience credit to use on activities, too – dinner and dancing in Budapest anyone?

Looking to simply relax on the beach or by the pool? Most of our hotels come with single rooms, as well as double rooms, so you can escape somewhere sunny by yourself. Try one of our ROBINSON clubs and you’ll stay in a scenic spot by the sea or amid a peaceful nature reserve. These holidays flaunt an A-Z list of activities like art classes and yoga on the sand too, plus a couple of restaurants so you won’t get bored holidaying by yourself. And when you’re not lounging by the pool with your favourite read or sprawling out on the beach – it’s your holiday to do as you please, after all – you can explore your destination. Book one of our excursions and you can do everything from swimming in underground caves to discovering ancient ruins. What’s more, all of your transport is taken care of, so you don’t need to worry about paying more for a journey by yourself.

Solo travellers on a cruise ship won’t be short of company – from the other passengers to the staff, there’s always someone for you to chat to, should you wish to do so. Our Marella Cruises ships are packed with facilities, including shops, restaurants and a spa, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Staff put on regular entertainment, like Broadway-style shows, music quizzes and arts and crafts, too. Set sail for the snow-doused Fjords or the tropical Caribbean and see the world’s best sights. If you’d like to go on a child-free break, all of the itineraries onboard Marella Explorer 2 are adults only. You can book yourself a single cabin – they come with a single bed and an en-suite bathroom – or treat yourself to a larger suite. Our ships are All Inclusive as standard, so everything from your flights to your transfers and meals is part of the package – so, say hello to a hassle-free solo break.
