Because hotels, lodges and ships charge Travcoa the same room rate whether the room is occupied by one person or two, there is a proportional additional up-charge for single guests referred to as a “Single Supplement”. It’s important to note that in most every case, Travcoa Escorted Journey guests traveling as singles receive the exact same room category and room location as those guests sharing rooms.
In the case of Independent Journeys, the “single supplement” applies to a person occupying a single room when traveling with a party which includes double rooms or more than one single room. If the party is one traveler, the pricing is Solo Traveler-based. Please contact Travcoa's Single Traveler Desk for specific journey rates at 1-800-992-2003 option #2.
