The world isn’t made just for couples; solo travellers, in particular, are proving this fact. Travelling by yourself in Europe is becoming increasingly popular, and some of Cruise Croatia’s most engaged and regular return clients are single adventurers. And no wonder – Croatia is safe, offers something for all holiday tastes, and is one of the hottest destinations in Europe right now.
In this article, we look at who is travelling solo, why, and how Cruise Croatia delivers some of the best solo cruise deals imaginable.
Who Is Travelling Solo?
One type of solo traveller is someone not in an intimate relationship with another person. They don’t need to find anyone else to make a success of anything, least of all travel.
That said, don’t make the mistake of thinking a solo traveller is always a single person. We know from past clients that this is not always the case. Couples don’t always want to do everything together. One person’s holiday happiness could be another’s hell, so going on individual adventures can often help the relationship, not hinder it.
Other solo travellers might have intended to adventure with someone else, but their plans have fallen through. Rather than miss out entirely, they’ve opted to go ahead by themselves.
Another type of solo travel is someone on a business trip keen to tack some quality time-out to the end of their itinerary.
Reasons Solo Travel Has Become So Big
Why travel alone? According to our single guests, the reasons are many and varied:
- Freedom
Calling all your own shots without worrying about inconveniencing or involving anyone else can be liberating. Want to cancel today’s plans so you can just chill on the deck with that good book? Go ahead, nobody’s stopping you! - Empowering
Knowing the buck stops with you can be a real confidence booster. Dealing with last-minute changes, handling unexpected situations, and relying on yourself can be incredibly rewarding. - Time for reflection
We all have times in our life when we Just.Need.To.Stop. When you’re by yourself, that can be so much easier to achieve. Being truly in your own headspace and having the solitude to think things through can be anything from reinvigorating to life-changing. Solo travel can be an incredible investment in yourself. - Delving deeper into local culture
It’s easy to miss things as a couple, whether that’s because you’re too busy talking (or arguing!), you’re more complacent about your surroundings, or you’ve just got each other to fall back on for company. When you’re flying solo, you have to put yourself out there more, which can expose you to more locals and, in turn, be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. - New connections and friendships
Many guests say a big reason for choosing a solo cruise is to meet like-minded people and forge new friendships and connections.There are many advantages of travelling alone – discover them today!
