Whether you opt for an African safari, a journey through Rajasthan or along the Ancient Silk Road, or travel to Italy, solo travel is an uncommonly rewarding way to experience the world.

That’s because solo travel gives you the time and space to reflect, to be inspired and take sensible risks in a far-flung environment.

Over the past few years luxury travel experts, Abercrombie & Kent, have welcomed an increasing number of solo travellers on its Luxury Expedition Cruises and Small Group Journeys, with guests travelling solo now representing over 15% of total bookings.

And it’s not hard to see why. The benefits of travelling with an A&K Small Group Journey or Luxury Expedition Cruise as a solo traveller are myriad. Apart from the benefit of guidance from local experts, who live in each destination of choice and offer the sort of insight only a resident can provide, it’s a chance to share the experience of exploring a particular destination with like-minded travellers who share common interests. That makes sparking conversation and getting to know others in an intimate group easier, while still leaving solo travellers time to themselves when they need it, ultimately impacting how they experience a destination overall.

The other great advantage as a solo guest, is that travellers can rest a little easier about safety and security, making their journey as seamless as possible no matter where their go.
