O.A.T. Expands Solo Travel Leadership with Over 50,000 Single Spaces and Memorial Day Savings

Travel solo without the surcharge—and save across all 2025 and 2026 departures

BOSTON, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), the leader in solo-friendly group travel for Americans aged 50 and older, announced the availability of 51,000 single spaces across its 2025 and 2026 departures—with 92% carrying no single supplement (meaning solo travelers don't pay extra for their own room). The announcement coincides with a limited-time Memorial Day Savings event now live across all O.A.T., Grand Circle Travel (GCT), and Grand Circle Cruise Line (GCCL) itineraries.

As part of the Memorial Day Savings event, travelers can take advantage of three ways to save when they book by May 30, 2025:

• Save up to $5,000 on select departures from July–December 2025
• Save 15% on any 2025 departure
• Save 10% on any 2026 departure—or take $250 off per person

"For too long, solo travelers have been expected to pay more for the same experience," said Brian FitzGerald, CEO of Grand Circle Corporation. "At O.A.T., we believe solo travelers deserve to explore the world—without the large premium. That's why we've made it a priority to eliminate the single supplement wherever possible and create an experience that makes solo travelers feel welcome, connected, and supported every step of the way."

50% of O.A.T. travelers are solo women—many choosing to explore the world on their own, or with a sister, mother, daughter, or friend. Whether travelers prefer to go solo or bring someone along, O.A.T. offers the best solo travel experience in the industry with the security and camaraderie of small group travel. With free or low-cost Single Supplements, attentive Trip Experience Leaders, and groups averaging just 8–16 people, solo travelers enjoy a deeply personal and supported experience. With 25,000 single spaces in 2025 and 26,000 in 2026—and savings of up to $5,000 per person on average compared to other companies — O.A.T. makes it easier than ever to explore the world without paying more to do it.
