Singles Cruises

Sail solo, but never alone

In recent years, cruising has become a popular choice for solo travellers seeking an alternative to land-based holidays. It’s easy to see why; safe surroundings, world-class dining and service and like-minded guests are big attractions – as is the opportunity to discover lots of new and exciting places.

Cruising has never been more accessible, and you will be delighted to know that every cruise line caters to single guests effortlessly. So, whether you seek an inclusive luxury cruise holiday, a relaxing river cruise, or an adventure off the beaten path with an expedition operator such as Ponant Cruises, you will enjoy an experience guaranteed to live long in the memory.

What to expect from a cruise as a single person

If you are considering cruising as a solo traveller and are not sure what to expect, there is no need to have any reservations. Nearly all cruise lines offer ‘meet & greet’ sessions on the first day of the cruise, and many will sit single guests of a similar age together during dinner. It is also common for singles to meet up and enjoy the evening entertainment and shore excursions together.

Perhaps more than any other type of holiday, cruising offers an unbeatable level of freedom. It is entirely up to you how you spend your time, and you can do as much – or as little – as you like, both while onboard and ashore.

Several cruise lines even have accommodation grades reserved for solo cruisers. For example, Oceania Cruises‘ Allura Class ships – Vista and Allura – have staterooms set aside for singles, while Cunard and Holland America also have vessels with staterooms available on a sole occupancy basis.
