As women around the world embrace travel on their own terms, Insight Vacations is proud to spotlight the growing trend of women-only travel in celebration of International Women’s Day. With women making up majority of its tour guests, yet only 11.5% of those guests are travelling solo, Insight Vacations recognised an opportunity to create experiences tailored specifically for women seeking both independence and connection.
In 2024, Insight Vacations introduced Women-Only Tours—small group departures designed to provide a safe and inspiring environment for solo female travellers. Since the launch, 84.6% of travellers on these tours have been solo adventurers, reinforcing the demand for experiences that foster meaningful connections and celebrate women’s contributions across cultures.
The top destinations for 2025 and 2026 highlight a growing appetite for immersive cultural experiences, with tours like Country Roads of Italy, Country Roads of Portugal, Northern Capitals and Best of Morocco continuing to captivate female travellers. These journeys blend luxury with authenticity, offering handpicked accommodations, exceptional dining, and exclusive experiences that bring each destination to life.
For a limited time, Women-Only Tours are available at 10% off*, making it the perfect moment for women to embark on these enriching journeys.
Insight Vacations’ Women-Only Tours not only offer the premium inclusions the brand is known for but also shine a spotlight on inspiring women across the globe. Here’s what some of The Travel Corporation’s female leaders have to say about their favourite Women-Only Tours and why:
Toni Ambler, Managing Director of Insight Vacations
Favorite Tour: Country Roads of Portugal
“Our Women-Only Tours offer everything you would get from a standard Insight tour, such as handpicked 4- and 5-star hotels, premium dining and a great range of included Insightful Experiences. However, they also feature a different variety of inclusions that cater more to women travellers, celebrating women and their achievements across cultures and countries.From artisans, to songwriters, great historical figures to a champion sheep dog trainer, you’ll meet and celebrate women from all walks of life. But also, through everyday aspects of the tour such as dining, we’re also focusing on businesses that are run by women or giving back to the women of the local community in some way.”
Maria Parisi, Marketing Director of Insight Vacations
Favorite Tour: Country Roads of Italy
“I’m especially excited about our Country Roads of Italy: Women’s only tour. Italy is my happy place, and experiencing Florence on a women-only journey adds something truly special. Standing before the marble-clad Duomo, Bell Tower, and the Gates of Paradise, guided by a local expert, transforms the experience. Their deep knowledge and passion bring Florence’s history to life in a way that no self-guided tour ever could. Beyond the art and architecture, I love that we’ll also visit a natural thermal spa, renowned for centuries for its restorative effects. It’s the perfect opportunity to unwind, recharge, and connect with like-minded women. I can’t wait for more women to discover Italy this way, deeply immersive, meaningful, and unforgettable.”
Louise Levesque, General Manager Marketing of Insight Vacations NZ
Favorite Tour: Splendours of Egypt
“The rise of women-only travel is one of the most exciting shifts we’re seeing in the industry, offering a unique space for women to explore the world together with confidence, connection, and a deep sense of camaraderie. We want women to feel confident in their travels and desire to see the world.”
