How would you explore the world if nothing was holding you back? Would you relax in the thermal waters in the Tuscan spa town of Montecatini … behold the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last of the remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient World … or practice German while sampling Stollen—a traditional fruit bread—in a local home?
You have the freedom to create your own experience, one that’s tailored to your needs and fulfills your travel dreams. When you choose Grand Circle as your travel partner, you’ll find that traveling “solo” isn’t a decision to venture alone. In fact, many of our independent travelers bring their friend, mother, sister, or daughter to share their passion for discovery.

Whether you join us independently, or bring a friend, sister, or daughter, you’ll take comfort in knowing that the size of our groups fosters a sense of camaraderie. So however you choose to travel with us, you’ll make life-changing memories with people who share your passion for discovery.
Our local Program Directors are natural leaders, ready and eager to make you feel part of the group as they accompany you throughout your entire trip. They’re with you every step of the way and take pride in connecting you with members of the communities we visit. Under their guidance, you’ll feel included, relaxed, and open to new experiences.
Your security is our first priority. With 36 offices around the world, our regional associates know our trips inside and out and can assist you at a moment’s notice. Safety is paramount aboard our Grand Circle river ships, too. Ship staff monitors the front desk 24/7 and are always available to advise you about where to go and how to get there. We always reserve safe docking space, often centrally located, and provide local maps at each port of call, clearly labeled with the dock location.
We believe solo travelers deserve to explore the world—without the large premium. That’s why we offer free or low-cost single supplements, saving you up to $5,000 compared to other companies. If no single rooms are available, don’t let that stop you from traveling—consider bringing a friend, mother, sister, or daughter along to share your experience.
Linda Lahti, 12-time traveler, from Negaunee, Michigan
Since I live in Michigan, and my mom, Julia, lives in Alabama, we don’t get to see each other that often. Actually, aside from our travels together, we only get together about four times a year. That’s why our trips together are so important.
