The Best Getaways for Christmas, Solo Style
As summer draws to a close and the longer cosy nights ahead beckon, many of us will launch into seasonal planning mode - and that includes Christmas. For many, the Christmas holiday season is a time for celebration and relaxation at home, but for others, getting away from it all is the perfect antidote. If you are planning a solo festive escape, look no further than Just You. One of the original specialists in escorted solo travel, Just You’s guided touring holidays have been designed exclusively for those travelling alone.
All Just You itineraries include scheduled and optional tours and excursions, both on and off the beaten track. An expert holiday director with on-the-ground knowledge is part of the experience and on hand throughout the trip to cater for all guests' needs and bring the destination to life.
Travellers with Just You have a guaranteed double room of their own and flights, and many* meals are included in the price. There are also welcome get-togethers to help break the ice with fellow like-minded solos with a passion for seeing the world.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or a tranquil getaway, there are countless hand-picked destinations from Just You’s Festive Collection in the UK and abroad that are perfect for those travelling solo to experience the magic of Christmas with fellow travellers.
