Summer is officially here and what a better time to jet off on a well deserved getaway than now! If you are foot loose and fancy free, getting away is a huge opportunity to see the world on your own terms, to indulge a special interest, and to make friendships that may last a lifetime. What’s more, holidaying on your own will boost your confidence and put you in a fantastic position to chat, flirt and mingle with other likeminded singles, both at home here in the United Kingdom but also further afield, wherever you choose to holiday!

As experts in the dating industry, Dateinadash have compiled a definitive guide to singles holidays to show you how solo travel really can be the bee’s knees! Solitairhols- The best tour operators for single travellers The cruise has been a beloved means of getting away from it all since the 1820s, although not so long ago many people were saying it would never regain the heights of its golden age in the 1920s. But oh how they were wrong. The cruise industry is thriving again, with millions holidaying on mega-lines to every corner of the world and it isn’t just for couples. Solo holidaying and travel is on the continual rise as it’s become a very popular way to relax and watch the world go by.

Understanding how much singles love cruises, Solitairhols boasts a boatload of solo cruises for singletons to enjoy, the whole year through. So, if you want to sail the oceans, Solitairhols tick all of the boxes. With cruise liners sailing from our capital here in London, as well as Tenerife and Miami, cruise liners stop off at some of the best loved Caribbean resorts. But that’s not all, Solitairhols also have cruises of the Greek Islands and Cuba, with regular stop-offs to take on supplies as well as more traditional gulet cruises off Turkey and magical journeys down the Nile in Egypt.

So, if you’d love to go on a cruise but are holding back because you’re single, this could be the spark that ignites a new life of cruising and solo travel. Now is the time to embrace your freedom- don’t look back- book a singles holiday today and enjoy your trip away!
