Traveling single doesn’t have to be lonely or boring. In fact, a growing number of vacation destination now specifically cater to individual travelers, from cruise ships to exotic tours.

Gambling Holiday
If gambling is more your style, consider a trip to a single-friendly city like Las Vegas. Along with casinos you’ll find entertainment, restaurant and bar options to explore on your own or with a potential new friend.
European Bus Tours
Navigating Europe alone can be intimidating as a single traveler. Try one of the many bus tour options available. Several cater specifically to single travelers, with many also catering to specific age ranges.
Backpacking
Want to explore, but not with a planned tour group? Backpacking is one of the most popular singles traveling activities, with affordable group accommodations in hostels along the way.
Volunteer Tours
When you want to give back while getting away from your daily grind, a volunteer tour is the way to go. Meet other travelers while helping others along the way through activities like working an organic farm or helping at an orphanage.
Singles Tours

Outlet Shopping
Consider a singles getaway to one of the many outlet malls across the nation. Outlet malls like Viejas in San Diego make living luxuriously more affordable through deals you won’t find anywhere else.
Eco Tour
Combine your love of the outdoors with helping protect the environment you’re vacationing in through an ecotourism adventure. Experience natural beauty while learning to protect it.
Cross Country Camping
