clear searchWhere should I travel when single?
You can travel solo all around the world - it's more common than you think! On our trips, 70% percent of travellers go 'solo'. Of course, they don't stay solo for long, as when you travel it's easy to make friends with young people like. It's also great for a spot of romance, if that's what you're after.
Where can I go on solo holidays?
Anywhere! But if you want to ensure you don't stay on your own for too long, consider taking a group holiday. On our trips, 70% of travellers join us alone, but leave with lifelong friendships.
Where can I go on a solo holiday in Europe?
Anywhere, from Rome to Paris, Berlin to Prague you'll find likeminded solo travellers who want to see as much as Europe as possible.

Where is the best place to travel alone?
We think some of the best places for solo travel are Asia, Europe or Australia, but really it doesn't matter where you go as long as you want to make new friends and see new things.

If I join Contiki on my own, will I have to share a room on my trip?
Shared accommodation is part of the Contiki experience. How many people you’ll be sharing with depends on the region, travel style and type of accommodation, but twin or multi-share (up to 6 in one room) same-sex sharing is the norm.
Festival accommodation is the only instance where up to 8 people could be sharing, and this may be mixed gender.
After a lil' more privacy? On many of our trips (especially ones that are Twinshare) you'll have the option to upgrade to a private room for an additional cost.
