If you thought 2023 was a big year for travel, get ready for 2024. More travelers than ever will hit the road in the new year, and for those who enjoy the freedom of traveling alone, you will find a year of opportunities to discover the world that awaits.
Cruising is always a great option for solo travelers and 2024 will be no different. While many people think cruises are for couples and families (and some, like Disney Cruise Line, are undoubtedly geared to family fun), today’s cruises take every traveler into account and have curated experiences for solo travelers. Companies like Norwegian Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages and Silversea Cruises offer things like single-occupancy cabins; reduced fares for solo travelers; and specially organized events, activities and lounges just for solo travelers.
Destinations throughout Asia are ideal for solo travelers, as you are able to explore at your own pace and fully immerse yourself in the local cultures. Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is an ideal location to plan a solo trip and is expected to be a trendsetter for 2024 travel for many reasons. It lets you get an authentic feel for Vietnamese culture through its cuisine, cultural and religious sites, and its reputation as a relatively safe destination is also a plus. English-speaking guides are plentiful and affordable to help you navigate the city and any language barrier you may experience.
The Greek Islands may seem like a romantic paradise for couples in love (and, no doubt, they are), but they are also a dream come true for anyone looking to see the islands on their own solo schedule. Exploring the islands alone gives you the freedom to hop from island to island at your choosing and spend as much time as you want on the islands of your preference. On the Greek Islands you can easily find affordable accommodations for one, eat reasonably, go for a hike in the mountains or camp on a beach, and the nightlife on every island is unbeatable. You will find the islands the perfect place to both get away from the world and to immerse yourself in a welcoming scene with locals and tourists eager to share their experiences and meet new people.
Solo travelers are experts at pursuing their dreams and exploring the world around them on their own terms. Whether you are traveling solo for work or for pleasure, out of necessity or out of a desire to travel on your own terms, traveling alone has many great rewards, and the destinations on this list are just some of the many great options you can explore for a 2024 full of wonderful travel experiences.

Your options are typically plugging your laptop in next to a tiny in-room table, if you’re lucky, or you’re stuck answering emails from your hotel bed — hardly conducive to productivity.
