Small group escorted tour operator Jules Verne has announced the launch of its new Solo Collection.
Featuring tours in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, the new brochure has been curated to showcase Jules Verne’s impressive offering for solo travellers in 2025/26.
It features a selection of solo group departures designed especially for solo travellers, as well as no single supplement options – for those who prefer to travel in a mixed group of couples, friends and other individuals.
The collection also features three brand-new solo group tours for 2025/6 – Sicily for Solo Travellers, Lake Garda for Solo Travellers and Sea and Sardinia for Solo Travellers.
In recent years, Jules Verne has seen a continued growth in solo travellers, who accounted for 42% of all bookings in 2024, growing from 36% in 2019.
The new Solo Collection comes in response to this increasing demand and reflects Jules Verne’s commitment to enabling solo travellers to explore a variety of incredible destinations alongside like-minded adventurers.
To celebrate the launch of the Solo Collection, Jules Verne is offering solo travellers an Early Booking Offer on its Impressions of the Seine tour.
Guests can save up to £60 per person on selected departure dates, for bookings made before 31 December.
Debbie O’Neill, Managing Director at Jules Verne, says: “Our new Solo Collection, designed for independent travellers, showcases the very best of our small group escorted tours. At Jules Verne, we believe that travelling solo doesn’t mean going it alone.
“All of our tours offer travellers the reassurance of a like-minded group, expert local guides and professional support every step of the way.
“With just 10-16 guests on each Jules Verne tour —with some groups even smaller for added exclusivity – solo travellers can enjoy a more personal, immersive and enriching experience while maintaining a sense of independence.
“Driven by our ongoing commitment to creating extraordinary and unique experiences, we are thrilled to introduce three new itineraries to our portfolio of adventures tailored to solo travellers.
“From learning the tricks of fresh pasta making in Sicily to indulging in wine tasting sessions amongst the vineyards of Lake Garda or even venturing deep into the haunting tombs, caves and grottoes of Anghelu Ruju, our portfolio of solo adventures is packed with experiences that promise to inspire curious minds.”
