Solo travel has seen a considerable rise in popularity since the pandemic, with many people wanting to meet like-minded versions of themselves through a holiday experience abroad. Many women who travel alone build deep and meaningful friendships with others on the road, sharing many of the same values.
Solo travelers view this as an opportunity to meet new people and use their travels for self-reflection, personal growth, and soul searching. Of course, travel doesn’t always have to be a path to self-discovery; it’s also the perfect time to indulge in a bit of luxury and do things exactly your way. Here is how you can travel in luxury.
Traveling in style
You shouldn’t have to wait until you have reached your destination to start your luxury trip — Your journey there can also be filled with finer things. How about experiencing your journey in an entirely new way by flying via private jet charter? For those yearning for the ultimate travel experience, a chartered flight will make you feel pampered, take the convenience level of your travel up by several notches, and ensure you arrive at your destination in style.
Take joy in flexible scheduling, gourmet food, access to select destinations, and attentive service higher than any other form of travel. Flying with a private jet allows you to customize your journey to suit your specific needs — whether for business or pleasure. Select the aircraft that suits your needs and schedule any changes when the time is right. You can even find some charters with additional perks, like an onboard butler or chef.

Indulge in Luxury Cuisine
Undoubtedly, one of the best ways to enjoy travel is through food. Not only can you explore and taste a variety of new dishes served in foreign lands, but you can also often see a truer sense of the culture surrounding you. A distinct charm comes with eating alone, especially when you’re treating yourself to the finer things. You’ll never have to worry about your dining companions’ eating habits and tastes, making it a much more comfortable experience.
Amazingly, many high-end restaurants and food tours are available, allowing you to embark on your luxury cuisine exploration. Try fine dining onboard exclusive trains, or find out which restaurants have the best view of the city you’re based in — sometimes a fantastic view is all the company you need! The possibilities are endless when it comes to luxury dining.
Ocean Cruising
First-time ocean voyagers may find it intimidating and lonely to go on a long ocean journey alone. The experience of being out at sea is entirely different from that of a regular hotel or inn on top of that. You won’t have time to get bored on luxury voyages because they often offer a variety of exciting amenities.
Onboard Explora Luxury Cruises, for instance, has a thermal spa area where you can participate in health and wellness activities. A solo female traveler can enjoy a wonderful time alone with unlimited beverages, nine culinary experiences, and gorgeous destinations to soak in. In addition to sophisticated cuisine and spa amenities, luxury ocean voyages offer a variety of programs and novelties on board and ashore, allowing you to tailor the journey to your needs.
