Solo Holidays for Over 50s, Including Holidays for Women Over 50

Global Travel Worldwide arranges holidays for travellers over 50 who want to go alone, with friends or as part of a small group, including holidays for women over 50. Tell our Wrexham team what you want from the trip and we will plan it around you.

Solo holidays for over 50s

Travelling solo does not mean travelling unsupported. We help you choose destinations, accommodation and pacing that suit you, whether that is a first trip on your own or your fifth. Places our solo travellers ask about include Kyoto for culture and calm, Marrakech for food, gardens and riad stays, and Santorini for slow days by the sea. For more ideas, see our bucket-list holidays for solo travellers and our guide to the best solo travel destinations for 2026.

Holidays for women over 50

Many of our clients are women travelling alone or with friends. If that is you, we can talk through destinations, hotel locations and the kind of trip that suits your confidence and interests. European city breaks are a popular place to start, so see our city break ideas below.

Escorted and small-group holidays

If you would like company without organising it yourself, ask us about escorted tours and small-group departures. We will explain what is included and help you decide whether a group or independent trip fits you better.

Prefer something active? Our guide to solo adventure holidays over 50 covers walking, cycling and wildlife trips.

Cruise holidays

A cruise is one of the easiest ways to see several places while unpacking once. Read our guide to solo cruise holidays, then talk to us about cabins, itineraries and the ships that suit solo guests.

City breaks

A short city break is a gentle way to try solo travel. Compact, walkable cities with easy flights from the UK, such as Rome, Lisbon and Barcelona, work well. Our city break ideas are a good place to start.

If you want rest, spa time or a slower pace, our guide to wellness retreats explains the options and what to look for.

Northern Lights and seasonal experiences

Iceland, Norway and Finland are popular for the Northern Lights, and Lapland is a favourite for Christmas. Read about seeing the Northern Lights or see our Lapland Christmas 2026 breaks.

Luxury and tailor-made holidays

If you want a trip built around your own dates, interests and budget, we can tailor it for you. Browse our luxury long-haul and Australia and New Zealand luxury holidays for inspiration.

Common questions before travelling solo

Is solo travel a good idea over 50?

Many people find it very rewarding. Good preparation helps: accommodation suited to solo guests, reliable transfers, appropriate travel insurance and a clear plan for who to call if something changes. We can talk you through each of these.

What about eating alone?

It is a common worry, and it usually eases quickly. We can suggest hotels and areas with a relaxed dining scene so you can choose between company and quiet.

What if something goes wrong?

Global Travel Worldwide offers a 24-hour customer contact line, so you know who to call while you are away.
