I’m travelling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travellers join because they are travelling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people. Learn more about solo travel.

If I am travelling solo, will I be charged for having my own room?

On our trips, rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. We pair solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender, as per the gender marker on each of their passports. If you’d like your own space, the majority of our trips have the option to pay for an individual room with a single supplement.

As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what is indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you.

On a small selection of itineraries, some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis (for example, on a felucca in Egypt or an overnight train in Vietnam). In those instances, it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information prior to booking and travelling.
