Calling all solo travellers!!!

Aug. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Specialist tour operator Voyages Jules Verne has expanded its popular No Single Supplement programme with the addition of several new itineraries. Presented in a colourful pamphlet, as well as on the company’s award-winning website, the latest selection covers departures from September 2012 to December 2013 and includes a tempting mix of short and long-haul destinations in Europe, Africa, India, the Middle East and the Far East.  

One of the first UK travel companies to introduce a dedicated selection of tours for the solo traveller, Voyages Jules Verne continues to innovate in its approach to this increasingly popular type of holiday. Far from being a ‘singles club’, its No Single Supplement arrangements ensure that clients wishing to join a trip independently may do so without paying extra for their own room - whether travelling entirely alone or wishing to join groups of friends or couples for a memorable break.
