Single Senior Travel
from: Kyle BesserTraveling alone may not be the ideal, and there are options for single senior travelers. If you choose to take a roommate, you may get paired with someone less than desirable. There are companies that allow single accommodations, but it usually costs a little more than half of the rate for a couple. You can choose from many groups and clubs and still get discounts even if you are traveling alone.
The best way to avoid paying more for single senior travel is to get paired up. This usually happens when you go on a cruise or if you decide to take a tour or group trip. Most of the time they will do the best they can to pair you up with someone compatible to you. It is up to you to give them as much information as possible to get the best match possible. They may ask whether you prefer to be paired up with someone of the same sex or not. This can be less than ideal, but you will save money this way.
If money is not much of an issue for you, then singles senior travel may be your way to go. Sometimes they can charge up to a 100% more, but if you look around enough, you will find the best deal. The reason that you may be charged more is that in most instances groups are geared towards couples. It usually costs more to get a single room since rates are based on double occupancy. By having a single in the group, less money is being spent and they try to make it up somewhere. This can be your best option if you prefer not to be paired up with someone you don't know.
If you look carefully enough, you can find companies like Travel One from the UK. This company offers singles senior travel that doesn't cost extra and doesn't require the traveler to be paired up with someone they don't know. You can still meet a lot of different people but not have to worry about sharing a room with someone you don't know. This company offers packages all over Europe as well as India and Egypt. They are planning to start some trips to New Zealand as well. They are not the only company out there geared towards single seniors. Go online and start checking out your options. You are bound to find others.
As you can see, there are many options when it comes to singles senior travel. Some may require extra money, but you can also get the best of both worlds as well. Taking the time to find the option that is best for you will definitely be worth it in the end.
