The Solo Travel List is a newsletter and website dedicated to finding you the best deals for solo travellers, from tours and hotel stays to cruises. We’re not direct sellers – in fact, we don’t sell travel at all. We just point you in the right direction. Some of the deals we feature may include affiliate links, which means we earn a little bit of money if you click and decide to book. But rest assured that we don’t choose deals based on that alone. We’re dedicated to finding only the best offers, even from sites we’re not affiliated with. All prices and other details are correct when we find them, but be aware that prices can change and some deals only last a limited time.
Got some feedback for The Solo Travel List? We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch at [email protected] and tell us what you think. We’d especially like to hear what you think about the mix of deals you receive (do you want more, less, or maybe more of a particular type of deal?) and we’d definitely love to know if you’ve booked a great deal and had an incredible time.
