O.A.T. Expands Solo Travel Leadership
Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) has made significant strides in promoting solo travel among Americans aged 50 and above. Recently, the company announced that it now offers
51,000 single spaces across its trips for the years
2025 and 2026. Impressively,
92% of these options carry
no single supplement fees, a policy ensuring that solo travelers do not face additional costs when booking their own rooms.
The announcement aligns with O.A.T.'s
Memorial Day Saving event, which grants travelers savings of up to
$5,000 on their trips, valid for bookings made by
May 30, 2025. Travelers can benefit from multiple savings strategies:
- - Save up to $5,000 on select departures between July and December 2025.
- - Avail a 15% discount on any departure in 2025.
- - Get a 10% discount or $250 off per person for any trip scheduled in 2026.
CEO of Grand Circle Corporation,
Brian FitzGerald, expressed his commitment to making international travel accessible to solo adventurers without imposing unreasonable costs. He stated, “For too long, solo travelers have been expected to pay more for the same experience. At O.A.T., we believe solo travelers deserve to explore the world—without the large premium.”
This initiative is largely beneficial to the growing demographic of solo women travelers, who represent
50% of O.A.T.’s customer base. Many of these women choose to embark on solo adventures, connecting with the world directly, or sharing those experiences with family and friends. O.A.T. manages to strike a perfect balance between providing a sense of security and community while traveling alone. By grouping travelers into small cohorts averaging just
8 to 16 participants, individuals find a warm and inviting atmosphere that fosters friendships and collective experiences.
With impressive offerings of
25,000 single spaces in 2025, followed by
26,000 in 2026, O.A.T. has taken clear steps in facilitating international travel for individuals without the burden of additional costs. Their travel packages outperform competitors by averaging
$5,000 less per person, allowing guests to explore destinations more affordably.
