Tauck is inviting solo travelers to join its 2025 European river cruises by waiving the single supplement on more than 250 departures this year.
The company, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is waiving the single supplement on all Category 1 riverboat cabins on every departure.
In addition, it’s reducing the single supplement by $1,000 on certain other cabin categories on 52 departures.
Solo travelers are also invited to participate in one of Tauck’s land journeys. The company is reducing the single supplement by up to $600 on 84 departures of 39 land tours on five continents.
“As much as our solo guests appreciate the great savings, they also embrace the wonderful sense of assurance and support they feel when traveling with Tauck,” says Jennifer Tombaugh, Tauck’s chief executive officer.
“In addition, they love that all of the planning and logistics are taken care of. Everything they would normally have to arrange by themselves—hotel and restaurant reservations, sightseeing, on-site navigation and transportation—all are expertly handled by Tauck," Tombaugh continued. "All our guests need to do is select their trip and departure date, and we do the rest.”

It could cost you more to enter the United Kingdom.An increase in the fee for Electronic Travel Authorization to England is being proposed, even though the program is still in its infancy.The proposal has come from the United Kingdom government. It asks for an increase of as much as 60 percent, raising the price from from £10 to £16. The ETA, as it is known, is being rolled out in phases and currently services citizens for more than 50 countries.Julia Lo Bue-Said, of the Advantage Travel Partnership, said: “Without a thriving inbound sector, you cannot have a thriving outbound industry. The government should be looking to encourage and harness growth, capitalizing on the desire to travel to help our economy prosper by creating jobs and boosting destinations." Tim Alderslade, CEO of industry body Airlines UK, said this “pragmatic step” addresses “the real risk that the UK would lose business to European hubs which don't require transit visas.… We urge that this exemption is made permanent given the vital role that passengers transiting the UK play in making vital international routes viable, particularly to growth markets.”Those with an ETA will not need a Visa and vice versa. But the program could mean as much as 30 million more applications per year.The ETA is for American citizens. Originally it included those with layovers too, but the UK recently withdrew that and ended the fee for transit passengers.
