Singles Cruises

Whether you want to be all by yourself or meet new people, a cruise for singles is an ideal option for both single and solo voyagers. A solo cruise holiday can really be tailored to suit your needs and tastes with such a wide range of:

• Cruise lines
• Cruise ships
• Destinations

A solo cruise generally offers all the usual inclusions:

• Accommodation
• Main meals and beverages
• Onboard entertainment
• Shore excursions with some cruise lines

Cruise Lines

It’s not a prerequisite that a cruise line or ship will offer single cabins on board their cruises. However, some of the most renowned cruise lines do, so you will have no trouble finding what you are looking for:

• – Norwegian Cruise Line
• – Holland America Line
• – Royal Caribbean
• – Silversea
• – Seabourn
• – Crystal Cruises
• – Cunard

On Board Singles Cruises

Sailing alone on a cruise that isn’t specifically designed for a solo traveller can get lonely:

• Meeting people and running into them again is not particularly easy on board a mega-ship
• Onboard restaurants with open seating or a reservations-only policy are not necessarily friendly to single cruisers not wanting to dine alone
• The price of a solo cruise is 125-200% of the published fare, trying to cover the cost of the ‘missing’ companion

So if you’d like your solo cruise experience to be liberating and enjoyable, rather than empty and isolated, do go with a cruise line that makes an extra effort to cater to singles on board. Here are just some of the perks that these cruise lines have come up with:

• – Exclusive social spaces
• – Onboard solo traveller events – cocktail mixers, games, etc.
• – Singles dining area
• – Dedicated studio cabins
• – Group fitness activities
• – Gentleman hosts onboard as dance partners
• – Shore excursion escorts
• – Single supplements as low as 30%
