Avoid the Single Supplement
|
When traveling alone, we understand that some travelers do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of their itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these trips on a room-sharing basis. They will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, they cannot guarantee that roommates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your vacation budget. If Trafalgar is unable to match you with someone, they will provide a single room at no extra cost. |
|
Please note: This service does not apply to Trafalgar City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece vacations, Greek itineraries with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night (pre or post,) accommodations. |
Save 5% on 2 Tours
 |
SAVE 5% AND GET TWICE THE FUN! |
|

|
Please note: Vacations are combinable with second and subsequent additional trips. Vacations must be booked at the same time. The discount is per person only and does not apply to City Breaks, Greek vacations with Mediterranean cruises, Egypt, Israel and extra night accommodations. |
