Solo travel: Deals from Overseas Adventure Travel
Posted by: Sean O'Neill, Monday, Dec 1, 2008, 10:35 AM

The renowned tour organizer Overseas Adventure Travel usually prices its trips on double occupancy. But now it's waiving its usual single surcharge for land-based trips and select small ship adventures in 2009 for trips booked by January 31, says spokesperson Karen Hansen. Solo travelers won't have to pay more because they're single.

Case in point: With the special offer, a 22-day air/lodging/tour package to Imperial China, Tibet, & the Yangtze River starts at $2,995 (including intra-country train travel and river ship travel). You'll skip the standard $845 single supplement, a savings of 28 percent. Rates include accommodations, most meals, airport, river, and train transfers, and about 18 tours.

Rates based on availability, 800/873-5628, oattravel.com.

Overseas Adventure Travel and their parent, Grand Circle Travel, both offer a $50 or $100 discount when a first time traveler provides the name of a prior traveler. The prior traveler gets a small credit toward future trips.

Anyone wishing to take advantage of this may use my name and code: Jesse Slome, Member Code 932019.

I have taken three trips with the companies. they do a great job.

Dear Folks,

I think it is better for you to use the name of your friend because if that man with his name written from you he will get $100 credit from OAT as well, and if he could have three persons booked under his recommendation he could get $200 in Cash.
