On the ground in Greenland The majority of Greenland trips are cruises, where single supplements can be punchy. But this Intrepid Travel tour is land-based and hiking-focused, and though this isn’t a dedicated departure, it’s proving popular with solos. Long, midnight-sun-lit days are spent exploring the epic wilderness around Nuuk and Ilulissat, even heading over to little-visited Disko Island to hike on Lyngmark Glacier, with accommodation in a remote, mountain-top cabin. Clients can pay £755 extra for their own room or share
a twin room with another solo traveller. Book it: The 10-day Greenland Expedition starts from £5,070 including room-share accommodation, guiding, many activities and meals, plus flights and transport within Greenland. International flights excluded.
