Whoever decided that coupledom should determine the bulk of travel arrangements surely wasn’t a witness to the 21st century. More than ever, today’s travelers are keen to set out solo – whether due to competing work schedules, changing demographics, or a basic hankering for personal freedom – only to find themselves dinged with an expensive single supplement fee for the so-called priviledge. Happily, our editors have turned up ten fantastic solocations (aka solo vacations) that are bucking the trend by offering vacation packages that downright discount or skip the notorious single supplement fees. So if you're itching for some alone time on your next vacation, you can now pick from beach vacations, spa getaways, culturally enriched itineraries in far-off destinations, and even activity-themed trips (think skiing, diving, golfing). Then, get out there and reap the benefits of your vacation for one.
