There are so many reasons to head off on a cruise solo. Due to the nature of cruising, you are guaranteed to meet like-minded travellers while aboard your chosen ship. With so many activities on board, you’ll be able to mingle and make some great travelling companions.
Meanwhile, in port, you’ll have a fantastic range of shore excursions to choose from. So, if you’re worried about exploring a new city by yourself - fear not! - qualified, knowledgeable guides will show you the sights.
Perhaps you’d rather march to the beat of your own drum? Being independent means you are able to do whatever you want for every second of your holiday. Want to lie in and enjoy the view from your bed? Go ahead! Want to get up early and take a dip in the pool? Do it! Want to spend your day on the ship instead of exploring the port? You do you! With no one to dictate your holiday, you can spend it exactly how you want.
Where can you sail on a solo cruise?
The world is your oyster on a solo cruise! Take me, myself and I on the trip of a lifetime to the blue coastal waters of Australia, the white sandy beaches of the Caribbean, the natural wonders of Canada, the heart of the Mediterranean, the passionate, sophisticated and diverse atmosphere of Spain or Thailand’s maze of tropical beaches, sprawling cities and ornate temples.
Which cruise lines offer solo cruises?
The popularity of solo cruising is ever-increasing. Because of this, many cruise lines have introduced solo cabins. Take Saga Cruises, for example, who offer a higher proportion of single cabins than many other ships. Socialise on board with special ‘Singles Mingles’ drinks parties which take place early on each voyage. Alternatively, set sail with Celebrity Cruises who offer traditional assigned seating which can be more sociable for solo travellers.
What's more, many of our cruise line partners offer no-fly solo cruises, which are a perfect option for travellers looking to avoid the stress of airports and flying. These cruises allow solo adventurers to embark on exciting voyages directly from ports such as Southampton and Dover, with itineraries that explore destinations such as the Mediterranean, the Norwegian fjords, or the Canary Islands.
