What is a Solo Cruise?
A solo cruise gives you the freedom to explore the world on your own terms, with the comfort and convenience of having your accommodation, dining and entertainment all in one place. You can spend each day exactly as you choose, without the complications of arranging every part of the journey yourself.
Many ships offer dedicated solo cabins, hosted gatherings and welcoming social spaces, making it easy to meet other travellers if you wish — while still allowing you to enjoy your own company and travel at your own pace.
Why choose a solo cruise?
Solo cruising combines the freedom to travel your own way with the ease, comfort and opportunity to meet others that a cruise can offer. Here are some of the reasons it works so well for independent travellers.
Freedom to travel your way
Set your own pace and spend each day doing exactly what suits you. Join an excursion, relax onboard or explore independently, with no need to compromise on how you travel.
Social when you choose
Hosted gatherings, shared dining, excursions and welcoming lounges make it easy to meet like-minded people — while your own space is always there when you want it.
More choice and better value
More cruise lines now offer dedicated solo cabins, reduced or no single supplements and facilities designed with independent travellers in mind, providing greater choice and better value.
Ways to Cruise Solo
From sociable ocean cruises and intimate river journeys to luxury voyages and expedition adventures, solo cruising comes in many forms. Find the style that feels right for you.
