Half the solo travellers who call Palace Tours open with the same worry: 'Will it be couples everywhere and me?' Years of guest feedback say the opposite — small trains are kind to people travelling alone. Here is why.
The room question
Solo guests book a full private cabin at a single-occupancy rate (the supplement varies by departure — ask us for the exact figure on your date from the dates page). Full privacy, your own bathroom, no sharing.
The table question
Meals seat you as you wish — alone with a window, or at the communal tables where the week's friendships actually form. By day three, most solo guests have a standing invitation somewhere.
The logistics question
Excursions are escorted and the coach leaves from the platform: no taxis to arrange, no maps to argue with, nobody left figuring things out alone. And the bar car after dinner is the great equalizer.
Our two honest tips
Pick shoulder-season departures for the most mixed, international group, and read the cabin tour so the room holds no surprises. Anything else — the Palace Tours desk tells it straight.
