- from Summer Vacations A to Z


Single parent travelers face two kinds of issues when traveling:

  • how will a vacation be priced, especially if kids' rates are tied to the rates of two paying adults?
  • And how comfortable will a parent feel, if most other guests are two-parent families?

Single Parent Travel aims to solve both problems. The company works with resorts to get price breaks for special trips; those who sign up will enjoy the congenial company of other single parent travelers.

Sample trips have included an annual Single Parents' Week at Beaches Boscobel in August (which is also Single Parents Month at Boscobel), Rocking Horse Ranch, in New York State, and a number of cruises.

The clientele of Single Parent Tours, by the way, encompasses any adult traveling alone with kids: a single parent, a grandparent, auntie-- whatever.
