Easy on the wallet
Why should travelling solo be more expensive? We treat solo travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don’t charge single supplements.
Freedom to do you

Some privacy, please
Want a room all to yourself? We offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option, meaning you could have a private room (and personal washroom) for your entire trip.
Maybe you want to break out of your travel routine and take a backseat. Or maybe you want to skip the table for one and grab a bite to eat with someone. Whatever the reason, small group travel is the perfect option for people who won't make their adventures wait for anyone else!
Intrepid gives solo customers the choice, either pair up with a fellow traveller and pay the same price or for those who want their own space, you can request a solo supplement.

One of the Fastest-Growing Cruise Trends is Set to Continue into 2026
Solo travel continues to surge, driven by more dedicated single cabins, reduced or removed supplements, and a growing confidence among travellers to go it alone. Small-ship cruising is especially appealing for solo guests, offering built-in social connection, shared experiences and expert-led exploration without the need to compromise on destination or timing.
Looking ahead to 2026, demand shows no signs of slowing — and at any given time, we have access to hundreds of No Single Supplement offers across voyages worldwide.
Wild Earth Top Destinations for Solo Travellers:
Asia
A standout for value and choice, with a wide range of itineraries, frequent No Single Supplement departures and culturally rich experiences that naturally bring travellers together.
Antarctica
We’re seeing more travellers choosing to go solo rather than wait for the “perfect” travel companion — and returning with lifelong friendships.
British Isles
Ideal for solo guests who enjoy travelling with
like-minded explorers, combining well-paced journeys, a friendly group atmosphere, and authentic cultural experiences.
